The Daily Dispatch: April 2, 1861., [Electronic resource], Evening session. (search)
On Saturday. a middle-aged negro fellow. owned by Mr. Wm. Barrett, tobacconist, of this city, was found in possession of an Abolition tract, or newspaper, and not giving a satisfactory answer as to how it came in his possession, Mr. B.'s overseer, Mr. Humphrey Miles, undertook to carry him to a jail. When on Main street, near 23d, the fellow said he wanted to go a certain way, and Miles objecting, he knocked him down, and drew a knife, the latter, however, sprung up too soon to allow of its use, and succeeded in planting a lick on the mutinous darkey's nose, and repeating the blow on the sconce with his stick, succeeded in effectually subduing the evil intentions of the negro, who was carried to jail with a very uncomfortable sensation about the nose and head.
