The Daily Dispatch: April 2, 1864., [Electronic resource], Free negroes on the border. (search)
Found dead in his room.
--Bernard Hagan a well known citizen, was early yesterday morning found dead lying on the floor of his room at his residence on 2d street, near the City Almshouse.
For some time past his health has been falling, but he persistently refused to call in medical advice.
His death is believed to have been the result of a want of proper care and attention to his health.
Coroner Sanxay was summoned to view the body, and, upon learning the circumstances, considered an inquest unnecessary.

Charged with murder.
--Thomas Boyd, who shot the negro on the Danville bridge on Sunday night, was examined before the Provost Marshal yesterday morning, and turned over to the Mayor to be examined on the charge of murder.
It appears from the testimony before the Provost Marshal that the negro was an employee of the Danville Railroad Company, and that at the time he was shot he was standing still a short distance from Boyd.
Some altercation had previously passed between the parties on the subject of a pass, during which the negro may have made use of insolent language.--The case will be fully examined by the Mayor and all the facts brought out.
Coroner Sanxay at nine o'clock yesterday morning held an inquest on the body of the negro, when the jury rendered as their verdict that he had been killed by Boyd.
Boyd is from Frederick, Md. He remained in the upper station-house last night.

Probable Suicide.
--About two o'clock yesterday afternoon a negro girl, about eighteen years of age, was drowned in the canal at the foot of Myers's bridge.
A few minutes before the occurrence she was discovered walking back and forth on the edge of the canal, and on being warned of the danger in going so close, replied petulantly that it was nobody's business but her own what she did, which fact leads to the belief that the act was premeditated.
In about two hours afterwards her body was recovered, but the facts of the case being made fully known to Coroner Sanxay, no inquest was held.
The Daily Dispatch: August 8, 1864., [Electronic resource], Charged with Murder. (search)
Charged with Murder.
--On Saturday last complaint was lodged against a white man named William Kothea, charging him with whipping Allen, a servant hired by him from James Moore, so severely as to cause his death in twenty-four hours afterwards.
The affair occurred on Thursday morning and the following day the negro died.
Coroner Sanxay summoned a jury of inquest over the body yesterday morning, but in the absence of witnesses and the physician who attended the deceased, the inquest was postponed.
Officer Kelley arrested Kothes and lodged him in the upper station- house.
Drowned.
--The dead body of a soldier was fished out of the dock, at the foot of Eighteenth street, yesterday afternoon, where, it is supposed, he was drowned about 1 o'clock the night before.
Nothing is known of him except what was gained from a pass which he had in his pocket, dated "Half-way House, between Richmond and Petersburg," permitting private Kane, of the First Virginia battalion, to visit this city and return in twenty-four hours. It is probable that he had been sent over as a guard to some prisoners who were committed to Castle Thunder on Wednesday night; and afterwards, while under the influence of bad whiskey, obtained in the neighborhood, walked into the dock without knowing where he was. Coroner Sanxay examined the body, but as there were no marks of violence, an inquest was deemed unnecessary.
