Personally appeared before me Tom McCrae who being duly sworn deposeth & saith:

I live in Tellfair Co. Mr McCrimans hands informed me that sometime in June Isaac Durr a cold man was visited at night by a party of white men who bagged him then took him out & beat him severely with sticks, about a week or so after that they visited him again & treated him in a similar manner laying him up for some time, also notifying him to leave in ten day. Dr Durr his former master gave him a gun told him to stay & defend himself. at the expiration of the time Mr McCrimands hands, (Timber Cutters) went armed to the assistance of said Durr & stood guard for him  after that he was not molested any more. These parties all live this side of Jacksonville. The cold people for a while were under a good deal of apprehension, all is very quiet now
