Weekly Standard Newspaper, Raleigh, NC--Jan 19, 1859
HOMICIDE--On Tuesday evening about dusk, a difficulty occurred at the Planter's Hotel, in this City, between Erastus Hogg and Sherwood H. Parish, which resulted in the death of the latter. Hogg is a saddler residing in this City and boarding at the Planter's Hotel, and Parish was the clerk of the Hotel. It appears that some misunderstanding existed previously between the two, and that threats had been made by both. Mr. Parish, with the consent or by direction of Mr. Winton, the proprietor, had made out an account for board against Hogg, which the latter had neglected to pay; whereupon he was given to understand by Parish that he would not be permitted to take a seat again at the table. When the time for supper arrived Hogg proceeded as usual to the dining-room, Parish having meanwhile, stationed himself near the door of the room, armed with a pistol and sword-cane. As Hogg passed Parish, the latter snapped the pistol at him, whereupon Hogg turned upon him and instantly plunged his knife several times into his shoulder and breast, inflicting wounds of which Parish died in less than five minutes.
Hogg was arrested and committed to prison; and on yesterday he was brought before his Honor Judge Saunders, who, on hearing the evidence in this case held Hogg to bail in the sum of five hundred dollars to appear at our next Superior Court.
