The Daily Dispatch: March 29, 1862., [Electronic resource], Tragedy in Mississippi. (search)
is office, when he received a stab, which inflicted a wound in the thigh, a short distance below the hip joint. From the effects of this wound he was so much exhausted by the loss of blood, before medical aid could reach him, that he died in the course of two or three hours. In endeavoring to render the proper assistance to the Sheriff, in executing the process under which he was acting, Mr. Richards (who accompanied the Sheriff,) also received a severe, though, not dangerous, wound on the front part of the thigh. As soon as this outrage became known, a number of gentlemen hurried to the scene, determined that the perpetrator should not escape. In the attempt to execute their purpose, some four shots were fired by the citizens, one of them taking effect in O'Rourke breast, from the effects of which he died as he was being conveyed to jail. Of the citizens engaged in taking him, four were wounded, more or less severely — I. M. Burton, I. S. Herrod, J. D., W. Bates and Hugh Gouley.
