Lynching of a Notorious Desperado—llls
Career.
[From the Memphis Appeal.]
Of the many strange circumstances born
of and nurtured by the past war, a parallel
to the catalogue of crime herein given is
rarely ever met with. In this vicinity, near
three years ago, the name of Bob Black has,
on more than one occasion struck-terror to
the hearts of a large number of country
men, cotton buyers and sellers, ithosebusi
ness compelled them to enter or make their
exit from the city by the way of the Her-.
nando or Horn ' Lake roads. "Bob
Black" came to this city about six years
ago, bringing with him a good character for
honesty and industry, and continued to
work steadily here until] the outbreak of
the war; at that time he desired to enter the
gunboat service, and for that purpose left
this city for New Orleans, and after remain
ing there some time, he joined the crew of a
confederate ram, the name of which has
since slipped air memory.
While on the way from New Orleans he
became enraged at some wrong, real or
fancied, at the hands of the captain of the
ram, and, being of a very impulsive nature,
seized a marling spike and with a blow
felled the captain to the deck. He was im
mediately placed in irons, and upon the ar
rival, of the gun-boat at Fort Pillow, was
handed over to General Villipigae for safe
keeping. A court-martial was ordered, and
while in progress the evacuation of Fort
Pillow becamenecessaiy, and the prisoner
was transferred to Grenada, Miss. In the
confusion of everything about Grenada at
that time he managed to effect his escape,
and passing safely through the confederate
lines, reached Memphis a few days after its
occupation by the federal authorities. With
out any means to provide for himself food
or clothing, with a mind borne down with
trouble and suffering, and bereft of every
hope from which the slightest consolation
may be derived, the once honest man was
driven to a career of desperation and crime
which, if given in its details, would cause
the blood-thirsty tales of yellow-covered
trash to pale for their puerility and tame
ness.
In this condition of mind and body he
remained in the city for some time, wan
dering bout here and there, until one day,
.while tanding at, the Worsham House
corner, he became involved in a quarrel
with o e James I) Wan, it membelof the Bth
Miss!) i a large and powerful
regiment,
man hile Black was a man o medium
height and stature. Words between the
• artieglwaged furious, and finally Dolan
struck Black with a cane which he had with
him; but quickly warding off the blow,
Black wrenched the cane from his adversary
and dealt him a blow, which so fractured
the skull of Dolan as to cause death a short
time thereafter. Black effected his escape
from the city, and with a couple of ammo.-
1 plices began a system of wholesale murder
and robbery on the Hernando road. The
atrocity of these acts created the .greatest
excitement in Memphis.
Several parties were robbed of sums vary
ing from one to as - highas ten thousand
dollars; and in one stance a speculator
was cotnpelled to disgorge to the amount of
five thousand dollars in :gold. Of course
these rascals, of whom "Black" was .the
leader, often met with men who would
show resistance rather ;than give up their
money; and in this way no less than three
or four fell victims, to the fiendish spirit
exhibited by these
.'scoundrels: It-':was
finally agreed. Upon: by the mill com
manders of the districts on --both atilet . 3, that
means should be taken which mould insure
their cajpititre. Aceordingly a squad of
Blythe'sbattalion of the Confederate States
army weree sent in pursuit and succeeded,

in c,alittiringV about ten -miles out of
the • city, Black mid his compa--
rdon, .a -fellow young in years, named
Whelan. • They wets placea in the guard
house in Heriamdo, we believe, and at a, pre

soldiers, made oft' at a rapid, rate. "The
:guards immediately'started in pursuit, - and
earning close upon .Whelan, who was some
distance behinct Black, shot and killed him.
Black again made his , escape and applied
himself with more vigor than ever to plun
dering, stealing and robbing everybody and
everything that came within his reach.
He would frequently : ride:into the city at
night, passing through the lines at will; and
as ttn instance of his audacity, on one occa
sion, rode down 'Adams street and fired
several shots in the station houses! It was
reported 'that he had accumulated large
sums of money; and the' report proved'-cor
rect. As hisbusiness became either too tire
some or dangerous; he came to the city dis
gusted and took passage on a boat for the
North. Since that time, and until recently,
nothing has been heard from him. It seems
after leaving Memphis, he went to St. Paid,
Minnesota, and embarked in the staging
and saloon business under his proper name,
John Kean. His restless spirit could not
stand the monotony of such a dull business
to him, and, organizing a band of some
twenty men, he started for_ the territories,
where their depredations and murders be
came quickly known; and soon reached the
ears.of the vigilance committee at Idaho
City. Black entered that place by:himself,
and being. unknown in person, imagined
himself perfectly
Here - again iris quarrelsome spirit exhi
bited itself; for scarcely had he been there
twenty-four hours before he was involved
in a _quarrel with a miner, whom he deliber
ately shot and killed. His character being
inquired into by the yigilance committee,
became known, and in a few minutes after.
the soul of John Keen, alias "Bob Black,"
darkened with deeds of multiplied crime,
and with but as, little warning as he was
wont to grant his own victims, was ushered
into that dreadful eternity, where the
" wicked cease from troubling and the weary
are at rest," there to render an account of
his terrible career of bloodshed and rob
bery.
Accident on the Ilindson andilloston
On the 18th inst., as the passenger train
on the Hudson and Boston Railroad, which
left Hudson at 2.45 P. M. on that day,
reached Blue Hill,one mile east of Chatham
Font Corners, it met with an accident by
which Edward Blinn, the baggage-master,
was killed, and several others severely in
jured. At the time the accident occurred
ihe train was crossing an embankment
where there is aldeclivity on one side of 100
feet and on the other of 35 feet. The rear
passenger car of the train, from some un
known cause, became detached and was
thrown from the track down the 35 feet em
bankment. The baggage-master was at the
brakes at the time the car went over.
Among those severely injured were Win.
RuK4ell, road-master; Mr. Flint, conductor;
a lady, and several others. Coroner Vos
burgh, of Hudson, held an inquest on the
body of Blinn on Tuesday, thejury render
ing a verdict in accordance with the above
facts.—.N. Y. Times.
SECRETARY WELLES has ordered that the
rebel pirate Capt. Semmes be tried by Court
martial, for violating the laws of war in a
number of instances, and more especially
when he hoisted the white flag on the
Alabama, and then refused to surrender
himself, and engaged in war again without
being exchanged. Semmes claims the pro
tection of the parole granted by General
Sherman to the forces under Jchnston, one
of whom wvs this said Semmes.
IN the case of the boy, Eugene Landon,
tried in Buffalo for the murder of Mrs.
Crocker, by administering poison, the jury
on Saturday reported a disagreement, and
were discharged.
