He trusted to the effect of the law which prevented slaves from giving ev- idence; but it chanced that a young free man of color, suspecting what was going forward, peeped through a crevice, and saw the horrid scene. On his evidence the owner of the slave was convicted and punished. ' " " Another fact was related by Mr. Mais : ' There is one instance, which, because of recent occurrence, I must take leave to mention. It is the case of a female slave, who on her return home was met by a free man... of color, who had been out shooting. A little dog, which accompanied her, barked, and probably might have snapped at the man. This irritated him, and he threatened to shoot the dog : the woman, alarmed for his safety, called out, ' Oh don't shoot him ; don't shoot my dog;' upon which the man turned angrily upon her, and said, ' Not shoot him 1 I'll shoot you, if you say much, ' and with little ceremony lodged the con- tents of his piece in her side. This was in the face of day, in the presence of many persons, but who, being slaves, were not qualified to give testimony on the occa- sion, and the offender escaped.
