      Was Logan Totton (Totten) Involved in the Killing of John Walter (Chicken) Stephens?

      "Joseph Womack, (col.) was called. Lives in Yanceyville township. Was in town on Saturday. Got to town at the meeting. Was at the Courthouse gate when the clock struck four. Desired to see Mr. Stephens who was a magistrate, because having been whipped by the Kuklux before, I feared them again, from the threats of Mr. Connally. Witness desired to obtain a warrant and bind him to the peace. Saw a stranger at the gate, -- a colored man, -- of whom he inquired where was Mr. Stephens. The reply was that he was down-stairs at the tax room. The colored man shaid that he had just come from the railroad where he had been at work. Stood and waited then awhile inside the enclosure. Did not go down stairs at all. A meeting was goint on there.

      "Looked down the ground-floor passage way. Saw men come out of the lower door to the left, -- first Mr. Wiley, next Jim Mitchell, then Logan Totton, and three other unknown parties. Mr. Wiley came straignt on. The others disappeared; witness did not know where. Wiley passed him 6 to 8 feet distant. He looked as if he had been exerting himself, for he was sweating. Not seeing Mr. Stephens I then went to the Republican meeting at the school house. When Mr. Wiley came out one man seemed to lag behind and pull the door to. It was only a moment. I was afraid for my life to say anything about this at the inquest. I told Ruffin Hill of it on Tuesday morning after the murder, when I left for Danville. I was afraid to remain in Yanceyville because I had been Kukluxed before, about the 30th of April."
