Sentenced to be hung. --At Caroline Court, on Monday last, a negro man named Nelson, slave to Mr. Thomas Hackett, was tried for administering poison to Thomas Sacra and producing his death, about ten days since, found guilty, and sentenced to be hung. The negro, when arrested, said that he had been urged to commit the deed, for three months, by the brother-in-law of the deceased, who furnished him the poison and agreed to pay him $10.--After Sacra's death, his stomach was brought to this city, analyzed, and found to contain strychnine. At Court, an apothecary identified the brother-in-law of the deceased as the man to whom he sold a small quantity of strychnine but a short time before the murder. Of course the accused party, with the circumstances thus pointing to him, will be tried for the offence at the next term, as he has been arrested and committed to jail.
