The Daily Dispatch: January 7, 1862., [Electronic resource], Horrible Outrage. (search)
rn Railroad, a day or two ago, by two negro men. She had repaired to this farm (which we believe lies within the City Corporation) when she was observed by these burns, who took advantage of her helpless condition to accomplish their base and hellish designs, save by an old negro woman, who, of course, could offer no resistance. After almost choking the girl to death, and satisfying their beastly lusts they left her and made their escape. But the poor girl had firmly fixed the features of the rescales in her mind, and took early opportunity to into in officer Prosire of the circumstances, who proceeded in search of the fiends. From the description he received, no arrested on Tuesday night, Jeremiah Temple and Allen Bonner, two notorious free negroes, and lodged them in jail. We understand they have partially submitted the commission of the offence with which they are charged. A preliminary examination will probably be held before the Mayor this morning.--Petersburg Express.
The Daily Dispatch: January 8, 1862., [Electronic resource], The late outrage in Petersburg. (search)
The late outrage in Petersburg. --We noticed in our paper yesterday morning a diabolical act perpetrated by two negro men in the city of Petersburg. The Petersburg Express, of the 4th inst. says:"Jeremiah Temple and Allen Bonner, the negroes engaged in the late infamous attempt on the person of a little girl, on the suburbs of this city, had a preliminary examination before the Mayor on Saturday morning. The girl was present and recognized the fellows, and her evidence was clear and emphatic. The negroes acknowledged the crime by telling upon and convicting each other. There is no necessity for us to repeat the evidence here. We are happy to state, however, that before the girl could be subjected to their infamous designs, the men were frightened off by persons passing by. The prisoners were remanded to jail for further trial."
