Wlliriii Y THE LYNOHEUMUliDE1.ER.
Said to have been the Murderer of
Five People.
Concord N. C. June 10,
1892.?Everybody in rliscu&sing
the Whitlev-Tucker
O ?.
affair in Stanly county.
Nothing in fiction can equal
this affair, when everything
is considered. It seeins that
Alex. Wliitlev and others,
several yarn ago, stole a lot
of money from one Smith.
John Cagle knew that these
were the guilty parties and
in order to get him out of
the way they killed him.
The courts did not prove
this but almost everybody
was fully convinced that
such was the case. It woe
supposed that Whitley also
Killed his first wife. He took
her to the mountains and
that is the last that was
eyer seen of her.
The woman named Burris,
who was jailed as an accomplice
in the Tucker murder
since Wlately was lynched,
makes some very startling
statement.*!. She was afraid
of him, and while he was
hiding in Stanly she was afraid
to leave the house of
her father. She says that
Whitley, while in Arkansas,
killed his two children, and
also says that lie was the
inni'Hoi-ni' nf Tii/.lth
* **?& Vtv* V/l X UV/ IXv.' &
Whitley, it seems, brought
TucJker's trunk hereto North
Carolina by forging an order
on the railroad. Tucker,
when found, had the bill of
lading for it, while it was in
this State. It is given as a
reason for the murder that
Whitley had an old grudge
at T.; besides, they were
gambling. Years ago it
seems they had a difficulty,
and Whitley then said that
he would shoot, him stomp
time.
George Whitley, brother of
the lynched man. is in custody
in ArKansas for aiding
in this crime. They are a
dangerous gang and have
been greatly feared by those
who knew them. The reason
this woman did not give him
away before he was jailed,
was that he would have murdered
her. This story is not
likely to be quite complete,
for the Whitleys, it is said,
belong to a regular band of
cut-throats who no doubt
will be heard from further.
The Stanly citizens did not
lynch Whitley especially for
the murder of T., but, his
past record of murder, etc.,
and seeing that the law did
not reach him on those cases,
were determined that he
eluiiilrl nnv fho nonnlfv
miiv'miv* vi iv/ I'vuuilj wi
death?his just desert. Of
course the law should have
had its course but they were
afraid that he would, if taken
to Arkansas, tret away and
then more murder would
have been the result, and if
<the woman's story is true,
that is that he murdered his
two innocent children, slew
T., murdered Cagle and is
suspected of murdering his
first wife, they certainly had
some grounds for such action
These facts were obtained
from hearing people concern
who live in the I >cality of the
scenes, and are probably
true, but I will not vouch
for them. Whitley's wife is
also his halt sister. It is
very probable that she will
be released since it is rather
evident that she was not an
accomplice in the murder.
A Business Secrot.
A large manufacturer too<
into his office a nephew who,
to put it mildly, was rather
feeble minded. One day the
nephew came to his uncle
and complained of the head
clerk, Jones.
"Uncle, what do you suppose
the head clerK Jones,
has been tel'ing people about
oie?"
"I have no idea.*'
"He has been telling everybody
that I am a fool."
"I will see him about it and
tell him to keep quiet. He
has no right to expose the
secrets of the office."
Murder in a Mill.
Greenville, June 9.?Yesterday

morning and Capps is in jail.

that confidence. I do not
think it will be misplaced.
I make the best, for22 of a
cure?an absolute one?for
billiousness and headache
that can be found in this
year of 1892. The cure is so
small in itself, and yet its
comfort to you is so great
?20 minutes being its limit
when relief comes?that it
has become the marvel of its
time. One and a half grains
of medicine, coated with su
gar, is my remedy, in the
shape of one small pill, know
to commerce as DR. HAYDOCK'S
NEW LIVER PILL.
