The Daily Dispatch: June 4, 1864., [Electronic resource], How to take oil. (search)
hich she lives, and breaking the window glass in John McDonald's house, was, after a short examination, instructed to go home, and a subpoena issued for the appearance of her husband this morning to answer the offence. Owing to the absence of material witnesses, the charge which has been pending for sometime against William, slave of Ambrose Carlton, implicating him with the recent robbery of Jas J Campbell & Brother's store, was postponed to an indefinite time. Lewis, slave of Lewis Frayser, was charged with cutting the throat of a hog, the property of Margaret, slave of Travis Lassiter. A witness saw Lewis attempt two or three times to drive the hog off the lot, designing, no doubt, to steal her; but failing to accomplish his object, he seized on to her and plunged a long shoemaker's knife into her throat. The hog had a litter of pigs only a few days old, which, by the loss of their mother, will probably be lost. Lewis was ordered to be whipped to the extent of the law.
