Halifax, N. C., Special.-Thurs
day overting butweon 7 and 8
o'clock the dead body of Mary
Jenkins, 13 years ol(, was found
in the stable of Capt Griffin, hor
grandfather. Hor throat was cut
from ear to ear, and the body was
tied up in a bag.
The girl's grandmother had
been looking for her, and goig to
the stable, found it locked. She
put Mary's little sister through an
opening in the door, and the girl
stumbled over the body in the bag.
A negro who is employed at the
hotel and also by Capt. Griffin is
suspectod of the crime. Whon
searcheld, he was lound to have the
koys of the stablo in his pocket, a
blcody knife and bloOd on his
lianda and his clothes. Ile is now
under guard of a large number of
citizens, as well as deputies and
constables, awaiting tho arrival of
bloodhounds from Weldon, to be
used to track him from the stable.
The whole town is thoioughly
aroused, and crowds of men have
come in from Weldon armed with
rifles. ft is not thought the negro,
whose name is Manna Ponton, will
live to see daylight.
Later.-A crowd gathered and
sceured the negro, hangod him to a
treo and riddled his body with buil.
lets. The negro after the nooso
had been placed around his neck
conf-sed to the murder of tholittle
child, and to having criminally as,

After disposing of the negro the
crowd which had made no attempt
at conceal munt, disparsed without
any further disorder.
