Navarro Express [Corsicana, TX], August 18, 1860
Mrs. E. B. Smith, wife of E. B. Smith of the Plaza House of this city, says the San Antonio Texian, is in receipt of a letter from her husband from Austin, in which Mr. S. states that six persons have been executed by the populace of Georgetown, Williamson county, three of whom were whites (one a preacher) and three blacks. These executions grew out of startling developments in relation to the abolition movement in this State.
