SIMON ROUSE MURDERED BY EZEKIEL CREECH
These clippings were sent to me by Russell King who copied
them from
microfilm of a New Bern paper or two different papers, but he
did not
note the paper or the date of the paper. Another clipping
indicates
this was the Newbern Sentinel.
Newbern, Saturday, June 9, 1827
Murder - a murder was committed in Lenoir County, on the 28th
ult.
The particulars of which as related to us, are as follows: On
the
evening of the 27th, a daughter of Ezekiel Creek, was carried
off and
married to one Bender, contrary to the will of her father.
Simon Rouse,
a neighbour, was supposed by Creech to have been an accomplice
in the
elopement, and on their meeting the next day, a dispute
ensued, which
ended in the death of Rouse. The murder was perpetrated by
Creech's
discharging the contents of a loaded gun through the left
breast of
the deceased. The Jury of Inquest, gave a verdict of "Wilful
Murder".
Creech is yet at large.
Another paper or at least another date
Ezekiel Creech, the murderer of Simon Rouse, surrendered
himself into
the hand of justice, a few days since, and is now confined in
Lenoir
jail.
