Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 29., The Cradock house, past and future. (search)
ented by causing some to take possession of the chief part of this land, under the doctrine apparently, that, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. There is reason to believe, says Mr. Mann, that the farm at Mystic was planted in order to carry out this suggestion. As the General Court never granted any land in Medford to any man except Cradock, all settlers in Medford must have been bound to serve Cradock before leaving England. At all events (in the Charlestown records, 1664), John Green, in giving a history of the first comers, says:— Amongst others that arrived at Salem at their own cost were Ralph Sprague with his brethren Richard and William who, with three or four more, by joint consent and approbation of Mr. John Endicott, Governor, did the same summer of 1628 (1629) undertake a journey from Salem, and travelled the woods above twelve miles to the westward, and lighted on a place situate and lying on the north side of the Charles River, full of Indians called Abe
was of the most polished character, and his language at once showed him to be no ordinary man. It was evident from his statement that he had always been a Union man, and that his shouting for Davis was owing to the fact that he was not exactly himself. He was consequently released on taking the oath of allegiance. Dr. Steinhower and T. J. Sappington, two old and respectable citizens of Saint Louis county, were released on taking the oath, as were also T. B. Grigsby, of Frederickton; John Green, of Potosi; James Marr and Jerome Wall, of Franklin county; A. C. Roberts, of Lexington; and M. M. Lynch, of Washington county. James Tracy, who has three brothers in the Southern army, was remanded to prison. Among other prisoners in custody are James C. Edwards, formerly President of the North Missouri railroad, charged with treasonable practices; Samuel M. Wells, charged with firing into a railroad train and assisting in burning bridges and destroying property on the North Missouri ra
Excitement in Grayson county. --Considerable excitement exists in Independence, Grayson county, relative to the murder of James Taylor, by John Isom and his son Fielding, an account of which we published several days since. The two Isoms, and John Green, charged with the murder of Rufus Cox, are confined in the jail at Independence, and on Thursday evening last, some thirty or forty persons from the neighborhood visited the place with the intention of hanging them. They were however, persuaded to forego their purpose for that time, but determined to carry it into execution on Monday last. The crowd called at the jail and informed the prisoners of their determination, and exhorted them to make their peace with God, and prepare to die on Monday, assuring them their execution was a fixed and unalterable fact. The citizens were much excited on the matter, and it is thought the attempt to execute summary vengeance, how much soever the diabolical crimes of the accused deserved it,

Mayor's Court, Wednesday. --In this Court, yesterday, the following business was transacted: R. C. Phelps and R. W. Smoot, alias Geo. Rigley, charged with stealing a horse from some unknown person, were sent to the Hustings Court. The accused were sent to jail. The case of John Green, charged with feloniously shooting William Jenkins, was continued till the 9th of February. Joseph McBride, Stephen B. Hawley, and Richard Anderson, were each bound over in the sum of $150 for riotous conduct. Ben, slave of Mary Malley, was ordered twenty-five lashes for smoking in the street. D. Bachagaluppo was fined $5 for selling liquor without a license. The case of John Hagan, charged with extortion, again came up, and was argued at length by his counsel, Judge Caskie. The accused was finally sent on to the Hustings Court to answer the charge, and bailed in the sum of $1,000. Hiram J. Wynn, charged with the murder of Daniel McKay, was sent on to the Hustings
Continued. --The charge against John Green, of shooting at Wm. Jenkins, a Louisiana volunteer, and seriously wounding him, a week since, at the mouth of the alley leading from Franklin street to the Central Depot, was called up for examination before the Mayor yesterday, but was continued on account of the absence of the wounded man, who is now under treatment at the Louisiana Hospital. It will be remembered that after the commission of the act, Green was arrested and carried to the cage lunteer, and seriously wounding him, a week since, at the mouth of the alley leading from Franklin street to the Central Depot, was called up for examination before the Mayor yesterday, but was continued on account of the absence of the wounded man, who is now under treatment at the Louisiana Hospital. It will be remembered that after the commission of the act, Green was arrested and carried to the cage by Wm. McDonald, who has since been sent to jail for the larceny of a Colt's navy pistol.
him to the lock-up. The guardian of the night added, that the amateur musician was making other noises besides those involved in the "execution" of the popular ditty alluded to. The Mayor inquired whether Dan was from Maryland, adding that if so some palliation of his outrageous conduct might be found in the patriotism that suggested his vocal effort. The darkey denied the "soft impeachment," claiming Henrico county as his native place. His Honor ordered him 20 lashes. The cases of John Green and John Wade, for severally shooting Wm. Jenkins on different occasions, was called, but continued, the witness being confined to his bed, and of course being unable to respond to the polite interrogatory of the officers, to "step for ward" to the witness stand. John Fritz Krelbel, the murderer of Philip Sautter, was, after an examination into the circumstances connected with the affair, committed for examination before the Hustings Court on the 10th of March. Kreibel committed the m
