Navarro Express [Corsicana, TX], August 11, 1860
Mr. Teague, a printer in our office, has just arrived from Tennessee Colony, Anderson county, and brings the news that he witnessed the hanging of two white men in that place, on Sunday the 5th inst., who were proven to be guilty of inciting insurrection among the slaves of that neighborhood. Their names were Antney Wyric and his cousin, Alford Cable. They were engaged near the Colony at their trades of Wagon-making and Black-smithing, where they have been living for three or four years. Wyric had been previously taken up for harboring and selling liquor to negroes. Negroes were found in possession of firearms and strychnine, furnished by these men. They were taken up and severely whipped, and made to divulge much in relation to insurrectionary movements. Other white men are implicated, and their cases will be investigated and attended to s soon as practicable.
A negro near Science Hill, Henderson county, about fifteen miles from the Colony, was also hung on the same day, and much excitement prevailing in that neighborhood. We will be enabled to give further particulars in our weekly issue.—
