Knife, Charlie Myrphy, an Italian, with Fo- seph Qualino and Ferrino Joseph, were at the breakfast table about 6.30 o'clock Friday morning, at Niantic, and for some reason known only to himself Qualina_put his teaspoon in Murphy's cup. “Why did you do that?” asked Murphy of Qualino. Without design- ing a reply Qualino seized the handle of a pickaxe nearby and struck Mur- phiy over the head, inflicting an ugly wound. The blow stunned Murphy and nearly felled him to the floer. Joseph, thé second assailant, who up to this point had not entered into the quarrel, grasped a butcher knife from the breakfast table and before Murphy could defend himself plunged it into his back. Murphy sank to the floor in a heap and realizing the seriousness of the crime both Qualino and Joseph escaped. The quarel was iitnesesd by the boarding house keepers, who, however, were practically helpless. Not until the deed had been done and the Italians had escaped did they regain possession enough of themselves to do anything. When they did recover their senses thye made the fact of the crime known to a neighbor, Louis Perrino. He im- mediaeely ran to the house of Dr. Dart, who responded. An examination re- vealed the fact that the wound in the back was an ugly one and that it had puncutured the lung, from which blood was pouring profusely. The doctor stanched the flow of blood and treat- ed the wounds. The victim is considered by Dr. Dart to be in a serious condition, and grave doubts are expressed of his recovery. The direct cause of the quarrel is not knoy All three men are employed in a section ganf of the New Haven road, and have lived in the same house for some time. So far as is known the best of feeling prevailed among the men. If at any time any words had passed hetween the men previous to this it was known to no ome but themselves. The fact of the stubbing was com- municated to Deputy Sheriff J. H. Tubbs, and Constable Charles Gates started a search for thie two men. Ev- ‘ery Italian in the village was stopped and made to give a satisfactory alihi as to their whereamouts at the time of the affray. Up /to a late hour the search had been unsuccesful and the assailants kad apparently made good their escape, The search was contin- ued(- however. and it is thought that the men will yet be apprhended. “f'mw'.—hmmom have been re— geived here to the marriage of Miss ‘The manuseri] h umber, which Bave. bon the state library for on, contaln sman; Connecticut.

In the year in question gRichard Boardman of Newington sold # Thom- as Seymour a negro called London, allas “Lonon,” for 60 current money. The deed was signed Sept. 13, {1725, “In the eleventh year of King Geoarge's reign.” Isaac Kibbe of En- fleld for the sum of Cfirund-, cur- rent money of the New York govern- ment, which was . received from Elisha Goldsmith of Goshen of that colony, bargained and sold a negro named Cope, 20 vears old, and im- ported from Africa, Kibbe warranted him a slave for life, but would not uarantee that he was sound or well. he deed was signed Oct. 21, 1766, and delivered in the presence of Na- niel Owen and Phineas Lovejoy. Samuel Tudor's Purchase. Samuel Tudor of Windsor bought of'| Nathaniel Hamlin' of Middletown, for 20 pounds, lawful . 8, £ . llam Tal. of Hartford received a bill of sale of a negro boy named Keyman, ‘mine years old. signed by Benjamin Lord in favor of Widow Ledyard of Hartford, May 23, 1777. This account ran along for a number of years. Talcott agreed, Sept. 6, 1794, to return and deliver this bill of sale to William Elery. Thomas Sackville Tufton’s Bond. In 1780 Thomas Sackville Tufton of Groton, “in the state of Massachusetts Bay,” gave a bond. for 150 silver dol- lars, or gold equivalent, to John Welles of Glstonbury, for a negro, to be deliyered Nov. 8, of that year, “death or some other unseen casualty excepted.” The slave was to be cared for and his delivery made in one year, The Slave! Sloop Unity. ~The slave sloop Unity, commanded by Captain Timothy Miller, was fit- ted out for Africa. Dr, Normand Mor- rison of New London sold the bulk of stipplies, giving eredit to George Will- mot of Albany, who was a partner in the project. The credit, among other things, was for 294 pounds of coffee, 746 pounds of pork, 1,050 gonndl of tobacco, two and one- ushels of salt and one tub, valued at three shillings and six pence. The estate of Dr. Morrison by a peculiar method of bookkeeping, ov.. 10, 1759, was shown to be a debtor to George Wil- mot. The latter took oath at New London showing that was a bal- ance*of 153 pounds and 14 shillings due to him. The aocount had run up to 535 pounds and 19 shiliings. - Under date of June 17, 1760, John Walker sent word from Hartford to Capt. George Willmot at Albany, that Captain Willls_had received a létter from Captain Miller, dated at Sara- lon, on the coast of Africa, of April 1, which gave an account of their wel- fare. They had then got on board 42 slaves and were to sail in three week after that. “So we hourly ex- pect his arrival” “I hear Mrs. Mil- ler,” he continues, paying her for the negro you “It will certainly be left ‘for you to be here yourself when Miller arrives, which will be soon now with- but he has met with some misfor- tune. Get my saddle bags from Old McCarthy and send down by some safe hand.” - The Willmot Accounts. The Willmot claims resisted settle- ment. In May, 1764, the general court in this state appointed a committee, consisting of Elisha Williams, Erastus Woolcut, and Jonathan Wells, to act as arbitrators in settling the accounts existing between the estate of Dr. Nor- mand Morrison and George Willmot. This course had been agreed upon by ‘Willmot and the executor of Morrison estate. The conference of the arbifors was held in the house of Moses But- ler in Hartford. Thomas Seymour was counsel for Willmot who was sum- moned with John Walker to be pres- ent. There are two letters from George Willmot which he furnished his counsel, Thomas Seymour. These letters show that Willmot was inter- ested in the sloop Unity which had taken forty slaves from the coast of Africa, Mr. Seymour's name is given as “Thomas Seymour” in the Willmot Jetters. Captaln “Gooden”. and Cap- tain Marsh of Hartford were active in the proceedings. George Smith was, the. executor of the. Morrison estate. The results of the arbitration are not recorded. Six Toed Betty. The slave traffic could not meet the greed of slave owners and Spanish Indians were enslaved in 1749. Wil- liam Marsh of Plainfield had had a slave, whose mother, Betty, was at one time the slave of Joseph Towers of New London. She had six toes on each foot. When she was a child the Carolina Indians attacked her home while her father ,was hunting. Her mother, taking her on her back, fled to a swamp, where she was shot. Betty swam the &tream, but was captured. The first night the captors beheaded the older prisoners. They traveled with the rest twelve days and afterwards sold them in Carolina. Ultimately she was held as a slave in London. Joseph De Mink. A _colored Portuguese sailor, Joseph De Mink, who was born in Bravo, one of the Cape Verde Islands, was ab- ducted from Bonavista by Capt. Phin- eas Cook of Wallingford, who brought hini to the Connecticut colony In 1735 and sold him to his father, David Cook. The lattér in turn sold the Portuguese ey is uneasy at yopur | Mi pounds & negro woman, Pegg, belong- fis o “Theopholus - Woodbtldge . of ury. She was of demented and disgusting habits. She died in March, 1744. She had been owned in Nor- wich. When John Hutchine bought her of John Crocker she was worthless and beastly, and he returned her. When ‘Woodbridge bought her he told him he would swap her for a dead ne- BTO. Deaf and Dumb Slave. In 1761 Obadiah Rhodes or Voluntown owned a deaf and dumb slave named Quash, whom he omitted from the tax list. He was four-folded on account of his omission. One of the listers in 1760 was not in favor of putting Quash in the list, as he was of no property valuation. At the May session in 1761 a petition by Rhodes for rellef was ‘megatived. Sold for Life. lgflthe' Mncll‘lna of Klltlln"al!'th #0ld a negro girl, 9 years of age, for life to Samuel Tyler of Wallingford, Oct. 26, 1745. The girl was entitled under the laws of the colony to be free at 18, her mother being a free Indian. ‘The case was carried to the general court by Tyler in 1745 for damages. The petitioner was denied redres: Could Not Prosecute. In 1748, a slave named Peter, who had been given his liberty, brought a suit against Rev. John Meachem of Coventry for services of himself and wife, the amount being 80 pounds. The case was in-the Windham courts and lasted two years. It was held by the defense that Peter could not prosecute as he had been a slave. The court held at last that a deed of manumission was insufficient, not giving the right of prosecu John Whan. One of the earliest of the colonial records relates to the case of a slave named John Whan, who had been manumissioned. With his wife he was permitted to possess and to occupy two acres belonging to his owner’s lot and a small house was built for the pair. When the owner died in 1690 or there- abouts, Whan was still the occupant of the property. With the consent of the son-in-law of the deceased, he sold the land end housé to Stephen Mix of the New ‘Haven colony. The case was carried into the courts by the daughter of the old slave owner, who was op- posed to the sale of Whan. Preston Case Dismissed.
