Following clipping posted from: http://gilliamsofvirginia.org/SC/Newberry/AnnalsNewberry/AnnalsNewberry.html

"Before he was discharged they (the Whigs,) determined he should not escape. Matthew Love was an Irishman. He was one of bloody Bill Cunningham’s men in the bloody scout. He was, I presume, present at the massacre at Turner’s Station. What part he bore in it has never been known. He was at Hays’ defeat, and the bloody orgies there enacted. He was never charged with, there, killing any one. After the fatal massacre of the ring, in which every one placed in it, with the exception of Major William Dunlap and John Cummins (the two Tinsleys were not in the ring,) were dispatched, Mathew Love passed over the bloody ground, and plunged his sword into the reeking bodies, to ascertain if life remained in any of them. For these offences the Whigs, the relatives and friends of the slain, determined he should die. The names of the party have descended to the present time. They are General William Butler, Captain James Caldwell, Colonel Zach S. Brooks, William Brooks. John Satterwhite, Bartlett Satterwhite, Robert GILLAM, James Atwood Williams. Captain James Caldwell (not General Butler,) was placed at the head. The latter was too prominent a man to be selected as the leader. Captain Caldwell, pistol in hand, marched into the court-house, took the prisoner from the bar. He was taken to the door, and thrown upon a horse, held by James Atwood Williams. He was thence conducted to a stooping oak, at or near the spring, and hanged. Judge Burke, amazed at the outrage, as it began, ordered the sheriff to quell the riot. “It is more than my life or yours is worth to attempt it,” was the reply. The Judge instantly adjourned the court, and called to his servant, “Kit Kit, get the horses.” They were soon got, and he left the town, and paused not till he was under the friendly roof of his countryman, Samuel Kelly, at Springfield. In his hurried journey he dropped his razors. They were brought to him, at Springfield, by Caleb Gilbert, whom the judge, in his racy Irish, declared to be “an honest fellow.”
