Edenton, May 28 - Melancholly Occurrance

Died in the County of Washington about 12 or 15 days ago, Mr. Samuel Skinner. 
We learn from a credible source that the death of Mr. Skiner [sic] is supposed 
to have been occasioned by poison administered by his brother, a Mr. John 
Skinner, who upon examination before the Magistrates of the county at Lee's 
Mills last week, was committed for trial. Two Negroes, a woman and a man, 
living in the family of the deceased, were committed at the same time, who it 
seems from their own confessions, were concerned in the perpetration of this 
horrid deed.
