Murder most foul.—Mr Thornton B. Stone, of Princess Anne County, whose death was announced in this paper of the 21st ult. incorrectly, as produced by bilious fever, was most inhumanly murdered on Monday, 21st ult. by a miscreant negro man by the name of Parker, the property of his father, Daniel Stone, Esq. of this borough. The diabolical intention long cherished by this wretch, as appears by the circumstances of the case, was on that day consummated, by strangulation and other acts of violence, in broad day. The felon was arraigned before the Court of Princess Anne county, on Monday last, sentenced to be hung on Friday, 30th inst.—Norfolk Beacon.
