Two negroes, Jim Ingram and Jim Embry, have been arrested and are now in jail for the murder of John Carr last Sunday night.

The colored population are much incensed with Jim Embry, the wife murderer, and if they had half a chance they would drop him from a convenient limb. They say that the reason he killed the woman was because she divulged the fact of his participation in the murder of the colored man, John Carr, in Boneyville, near here two years or more ago. It will be remembered that he was shot dead one night as he sat with his family in his home and altho' Jim and several other negroes were suspected of the foul deed, it was not proved on them.
Carr was an especially honest and upright man and objected strenously to Embry and the other pententiary birds taking leading parts in the managment of the church in which he was steward. This incensed the ex-convicts and they murdered him.
Embry's wife stated that Jim loaded the gun, Perry Morrison knocked in the window to attract his attention and Jim Ingram fired the fatal shot. Besides a term in pententiary for bigamy, Jim has been in many bad scrapes, but if he gets out of this as easily as he has out of former ones, it will be a surprise. A hemp-pulling seems a very sure thing this time.
