VANCE In a previous issue we mentioned the apprehension and lodgement in jail of the negro fellow Dave. It was discovered that two white men named KIRBY and LEE were likewise implicated and accordingly a search was made which soon resulted in the arrest of both. It appears from the statement made by Dave, and which is strengthened by KIRBY, that the act was committed by LEE, who in order to evade subsequent detection, employed slugs instead of balls for the purpose. They both admit that they were present but deny having aided in the murder. KIRBY having became evidence for the state, may by this means escape the extreme penalty of the law, but the doom of the other two is almost certain. It can hardly be doubted that their lives will pay the forfeit. KIRBY and LEE have been brought to jail.
