The Murderers of Senator J no.
W. Stephens Brought to
Light. After Twnly
One Years
The following astounding account
of the murder o' Jno. W. Stephens in
Caswell Court House in 180, is con
densed from the State Chronicle of
this morning:
May 2 1st, 1870 was a notable day in
the exciting history of the most ex
citing times in North Carolina. On
that day State Senator Stephens,
whom Josiah Turner called "chicken
Stephens" was murdered, and his
lifeless body found Sunday morning
in the office of the Clerk and Master
at Tanceyville, Caswell county.
When the news spread abroad it
created a great sensation. It was a
terrible deed and stunned all the peo
pie. For more than twenty one years
the perpetrators of the deed have
been unknown and much speculation
has beeu indulged in as to who they
were. Governor Holden and other
Republicans charged that the crime
had been perpetrated by the Demo
crats for political reasons, Senator
Stephens being a leader of the ne
groes in that section and a very bit
ter Republican. The Democrats ez
pressed the belief that the family of
the Senator had procured his murder
in order to obtain the insurance from
the large policy which he held.
But until a day or two ago all con
jecture was vain. The murder seemed
to be shrouded in impenetrable mys.
tery. Yesterday Mr. Jos. A. Harris,
editor of the Hillsboro Observer, was
in Raleigh, and gave ue a most as
tounding piece of information. In
Irief, it was that Dr. Felix Roan,
long a prominent and -influential citi
zen of Caswell county, who died a
few days ago, had made a confession
on his death bed in which he impart
ed the startling information that
nViibAn Hr.pnhftTjR was murdered bv
himself and two other widely known
and prominent citizens. According to
his,Jcbnfe8Bio'4; the men who killed
Stevens were:
Dr. Felix Roan,
Dr. Sthve Richmond
and
Sheriff Wiley.
We do not know whether the dying
man gave the true theory of the kill
ing or not. Mr. Harris could not tell
ns whether be went into fuller par

Burned to Death.
Cumberland, Dec. 2. This even
lag at 7 o'clock a. coal-oil lamp was
upset at the residence of Richard
Hoffman, in the northern section of
this city, and burned to death his 8
year old child and badly burned his
other two small children. Mrs Hoff
man, the mother of the children, had
gone just across tbe street to a store
to make some purchases, leaving the
children playing in their room. One
of the children, it is supposed, pulled
tbe lamp from the table and it fell to
the floor, causing cne lamp io urea,
and set fire to the house and the chil
dren. When the mother returned,
having only been out but a few min
utes, she found the children in flames,
as well as the house. She did all she
could to save the little ones, and was
terribly horned by so doing. The
youngest child was rendered almost a
crlsn, and one of the other two seri
ovM 11 burned,- bat it is thought toot
fatally. M. Hoffman, the father,
