Only recent to December 16, 1883 had two white men confessed they knew men who robbed the victim and murdered him and only then had investigation been done to prove if the confession was true. The article ended without a definite conclusion, claiming that the investigation could not prove anything definite and alluding to possible "bogus confessions".
This early article, I believe displays the author's bias in racial issues.

In this particular article, "Negro" is used in the title to describe the victim. The headline does not say man or boy but chooses to define him purely by his race. Also, the article casually describes that...
