The objective of this text is to analyze a criminal process in the region of Santa Cruz de Corumbá, in the province of Mato Grosso do Sul, which was processed between the years 1878 and 1886. The document handles the murders of the proprietary of the lands, Firmiano Firmino Ferreria Candido and his foreman, João Pedro, conduced by his slaves and comrades, due to the excessive corporal punishments and delayed payments. After that, there was an attempt to escape to Bolivia, but the murderers were arrested and judged.with the exception of the comrade João Ignácio, that managed to scape. From that episode, we intend to approach the motivations behind the crimes and contribute to the understanding of the complex relationships of the work between social categories, as well as to discuss the characteristics of the settlement and occupation of this rural and border region.
