Sumner County, Tennessee News Articles $1,200 WORTH HUNG. W. C. Moore of Sumner Co, Tenn, was attacked with a knife by one of his slaves, a few days ago, and received two terrible wounds one on the throat, and the other on the chin. Mr. Saunders and the father of Mr. Moore came to his rescue, when the negro turned upon the former and commenced cutting him, and then upon the latter, cutting his throat from ear to ear, killing him instantly. The alarm having been given, the people in the vicinity hastened to the bloody scene, and it was necessary to shoot the negro three times before the knife could be got from him. He was then taken and hung immediately.
