When John Fields, a Negro who lives near Richardson, found that the Prince George’s County authorities would probably handle Richardson, he frankly swore that Richardson was a bad man; that he had threatened to kill him, and that it was dangerous to live in his locality. Richardson in this case was bound over to keep the peace, and in his turn declared that he was afraid of the Negro Fields, who had threatened to burn him out and kill him. Fields was also placed under bonds to keep the peace. The outcome was that Richardson was put under bonds of $400 to await the action of the October term of the grand jury at Marlboro for the attempted killing of his father-in-law. Richardson, who had at first only been under bonds of $500 to keep the peace for the shooting affair, has now had these peace bonds revoked. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
