Daily Advocate [Baton Rouge, LA], September 21, 1860
The Coroner’s Jury on the body of the man shot on Thursday, by a hunting party, came to the conclusion that said man came to his death by being shot” by some one of a party of men who were in the woods hunting runaway negroes.” We learn that the unfortunate being is supposed to have been a wandering Indian who has been in this neighborhood for some time. His resistance led to his death under the supposition that he was a runaway.
