The Daily Dispatch: July 19, 1861., [Electronic resource], Arrest of a Governor. (search)
he turned, cutting fiercely with a knife, killing Donahoe instantly and wounding Duval so severely that he also died almost instantly. Donahoe was stabbed twice in the right side and Duval twice in the left. Carr coming up knocked the negro down twice with his club when the fellow clinched in upon him cutting away, but fortunately only through Carr's clothes. In the tussle they both got down; and Carr, having lost his club could not hope to hold on to a desperate and powerful fellow, armed as the negro was, so that the latter got away. Mr. Gafford, Chief of Police, was on the ground as soon after the affair as he could receive information of it, and made a thorough search of the neighborhood, but without finding any trace of the murderer. The women inhabiting the kitchen out of which he issued was arrested and lodged in the Guard-House about midnight. His Honor, the Mayor, offers a reward of $500 for the apprehension of the negro.--Wilmington (N. C.) Journal, 17th.
