Saml. Jones (c) killed by Caesar Dunham (c) July 30 '68 Chatham Co. now in jail awaiting trial a true bill of murder, having been found against him.

In the early part of July a colored man was mortally wounded near #1 A & G.R.R. by a white man, name unknown. The wounded man was brought to the hospital where I saw him, he refused to give his name or names of the party who shot him. It seemed evident from his own admission that he was shot while stealing. He died the same day.
