The following, the paragraphs of which we have numbered, ap peared in yesterday’s Daily Times: 1 “It was rumored on the streets this morning that Purvis who is lodged iu jail in North Car olina charged with the murder of Flagman Blackwell is an inno cent man and that the murderer had confesssed. Rumor further said that tne murderer’s name is Lomax. 2 To elicit more definite infor mation Capt. G. G. Lynch was ask ed about the matter. Capt. Lynch said that he received a mes sage from Mr. Higgins at South Rocky Mount stating that he had caught the black negro who was with Purvis at the time of tin murder and that he had made a full confession. 3 It looks l ; ke now that Purvis can go free which will be good news to the members of his family iu this city. 4 The foregoing is the extent of the information so far received.” In justice to Captain Lynch we I um second paragraph.
