The Daily Dispatch: July 19, 1861., [Electronic resource], Arrest of a Governor. (search)
A desperate negro.
--Two Guards State.--We learn that about eleven o'clock last night a most atrocious outrage was committed in the northeastern part of this towns, north of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, whereby two members of the Town Guard, named George W. Duval and John Donahoe, were almost instantly killed by desperate runaway negro known as Bill Wanet.
It would seem that the follow has been runaway for some three years, having been purchased about that time by Dr. T. B. Carr, to whom he now belongs.
There being reason to suppose that he was harbored by a negro woman belonging to Alfred Martin, Esq., occupying a small house of kitchen in the part of town already referred to, three of the guard went there last night for the purpose of arresting him.--The three were G. W. Duval, John Donahoe and Nicholas Carr.
Carr knocked at the door, when the negro jumped out of the window in his night clothes, and the three took after him, Donahoe and Duval somewhat ahead.
