ssassins." The flash of a gunshot from a nearby porch draws Officer Oliver's fire. "From the blood we found there afterward I think I almost killed him," he reflects. "I went around the house and got separated from the others. I thought we had better not keep too close together, for the negroes could see us that way. I heard a little negro girl in a house just in front of me saying 'Don't go down there, Uncle George. Don't go.' 'Yes, I am going and kill them, too,' I heard a man's voice say. I saw a negro coming running down towards where I was standing. Just as he got a little ways from me he saw me and I fired. I found him this morning. I had shot him in the stomach. He was an old negro and had a muzzle-loading musket." He is later identified as George Wilder, sixty years old.
