Rana Robinson, a negro, found Alex. Phillips, a preacher, at his home being entertained by his wife. He whipped out a large knife, and rushing into the room, plunged his blade into Phillips' breast, exclaiming at the time, "____ you, I guess you won't trouble me anymore." Phillips gasped twice and fell out of his chair dead. Robinson then slapped his wife once or twice, then warning her not to disclose his terrible deed, made for the woods.
