The Daily Dispatch: March 13, 1865., [Electronic resource], Mayor's Court. (search)
d did sell him the negro man, Jim, giving what the complainant supposed to be a genuine bill of sale, Cook paying over the difference between the amount due him for borrowed money and the price asked for the negro. Nothing more was thought of the transaction (Cook believing that he had bought the negro from a party who had the right to sell him) till about two weeks afterwards, when he was called upon for the hire of Jim by a Mr. Evans, who produced a letter from a Mr. Knoxville, of Prince William county, empowering him to act as agent for receiving said hire. It was at this stage of the case that Cook obtained a warrant for Jones's arrest. Several witnesses were examined for the defendant, their testimony going to prove that he had been empowered by Knoxville to dispose of the negro man, Jim, and invest the proceeds in the purchase of two negro boys. The good character of the accused was also attested to; after which, the Mayor continued the case for further consideration.
