Frederick Douglass Paper Description: Arrest of an Alleged Accomplice in the Sherborn Date: November 18 1853 Newspaper published in: Rochester, NY Arrest of an Alleged Accomplice in the Sherborn Murder. A man by the name of Noyes MANN, formerly a near neighbor of Mr. Rueben COZZENS, of Sherborn, (whose brutal murder in September last will be remembered) was arrested last evening at the Long Pond Hotel in Natick, by Deputy Sheriff BANNISTER, on suspicion of being an accomplice in the murder for which CHAPMAN is now in custody. Some three of four days ago, Noyes put up at the Mansion House in South Framingham, and when leaving the next morning, accidentally left behind a vest, on which were several spots of blood. This Mr. CHAPMAN's attorney examined, then called upon CHAPMAN, and said to him "Why didn't you tell me that MANN was connected with you in the murder of COZZENS?" He answered without hesitation, "Because we took an oath, each to the other, that we would not develop our doings." CHAPMAN now says that the murder was planned on the Sunday before (the murder was committed Wednesday night,) in a barn at South Framingham, that he called Mr. COZZENS out of the house, and MANN struck him with the axe and that he (CHAPMAN) then ran away and knows nothing of what happened. It is well known to citizens of Framingham, that they were together on the Sunday and that on Wednesday, the day of the murder, MANN hired a horse and went over to Sherborn to see CHAPMAN, and spent some time with him. He will be examined on Tuesday next, at Framingham center. (The Boston Traveler). http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?action=detail&id=56572
