ADDENDA
May 2, 1834, p. 2: MURDER AND ROBBERY AT FLORENCE. We are called on to record another crime, one of a most daring character. John Marrs, a respectable citizen of Lauderdale county, Ala., left the public square in Florence about half past two o'clock on Friday last [about April 18, 1834], for his residence about six miles in the country. He proceeded on his way about one mile from the courthouse, in full view of town, and in the immediate vicinity of some of our most respectable citizens when he was shot dead by some villain or villains and robbed of about seven hundred dollars. On this being announced to the citizens of Florence, they immediately assembled at the courthouse and [determined to offer] a reward of six hundred dollars for the apprehension of the murderer on conviction. They appointed a committee of vigilance and call upon the [smeared word] of justice and moral order everywhere to aid them in detecting and bringing to justice the author of this outrage.
S. H. Stockton, one of the publishers of the Mobile, Ala. Register had been shot and killed by Charles A. Stuart on April 3, 1834. No particulars of the incident were given but a few days ago, after his trial, Stuart was acquitted by the jurors.
NOTE ABOUT THE PUBLICATION OF THE WESTERN METHODIST: During the period covering these genealogical abstracts, 1833-1834 Garrett and Maffitt were editors of this newspaper. Unfortunately, the issues post-October 17, 1834 have apparently been completely lost.
