He was shot at several times, and at last he was so disabled as to be compelled to surrender.

He kept in the run of a creek in a very dense swamp all the time that the neighbors were in pursuit of him.

As soon as the negro was taken, the best medical aid was procured, but he died on the same evening.

One of the witnesses at the inquisition stated that the negro boy said that he was from Mississippi, and belonged to so many persons he did not know who his master was; but again he said his master's name was _Brown_.

He said his own name was Sam; and when asked by another witness who his master was, he muttered something like Augusta or Augustine.
