| Dec 26, 67 | Robert Brinsley (white) | Tob. Garrett (freedman) | Attempt to murder. Tob. Garrett was shot through the chest by Robert Brinsley at a religious meeting of freedpeople in San Augustine County. Report of the deed was made to me by freedman "Charles" who could make no affidavit as to the person who had fired the shot. The Civil Authorities, therefor, refused to issue a warrant. I have issued an order to the Sheriff to arrest Brinsley; the Sheriff has not yet returned. |
