A Honest Negro. We reported, yesterday,
the fact of the acquittal of Pierce Stephens,
a colored man, charged with the murder of
young Carmichael, on Christmas, 1865. We
were informed yesterday, by one of the bailiffs
of the Court, that a short time subsequent to
his acquittal, Pierce told him (the bailiff) in the
Court House, that he (Pierce) was present at
the time of the murder of young Carmichael,
and knew who killed him! Is there no law to
reach this man now?
