Gastonia Gazette: Ben GRIER and Jessie SHIPP, colored, were put in jail last week for the supposed poisoning of Ben. FRONERBERGER, colored. The deceased attended the colored camp meeting at Brevard’s Station, and in company with these darkeys became the victim of a sad death. His bowels have been sent to the State chemist for analysis.
