true. Miss Goodson was seen

The news of the supposed
murder was brought to ( heraw
on last Thursday night ly
Henry T. Patrick, of Richmond
County, N. C. He told hun
dreds of people on Friday morn

negro Green from Florence on

placed him in the Chesterfield

that Green was not in jail, hut
nothing definitely could be

It is reported that Patrick
had some difficulty with some

considerable money, and that
he made the report in order to
worry the family. Patrick is
still in this county and is tell
