[the abbreviations and CAPS are mine] There were many cold-blooded and heartless scenes transpired during the civil war, not in the army, but among the stay at homes. The killing of James WELDON of Harrison township, was one of those deliberate, cold blooded murders. he had returned to his home, taken the oath, and was a member of the Home Guards or militia. A capt from caldwell Co. with a squad of men had been out scouting, and returning by the residence of Weldon, and knowing he had once been a Confederate, rode up to his house after dark, called him out, took him out upon the open prairie, murdered him in cold blood, left his dead body upon the ground where killed and rode off.. No less atrocious and horrible in character was the deliberate murder of CREWS at a picnic in Harrison township. A Capt. BROMFIELD, who came from Washington township, attended this picnic. He heard that there was a man there who had been in the rebel army. he did not know CReWS, but he went to a man and told him to show him CREWS or point him out. The man knowing BROMFIELD's vindictive nature, dared not disobey, and the report is that he went up to CREWS and gave him an apple as a sign to BROMFIELD to spot the man. CREWS was standing near a tree, with 4 or 5 ladies near him, when BROMFIELD walked up, pistol in hand, and killed him dead without a word of provocation or warning. But the fiend carried his murderous proclivities once too far, and met with a terrible but righteous punishment at the hands of a comrade when he was seeking to kill.
