Foul MURDER.-A few nights since Mr..
Crutchner, of Edgecombe county, North Caro-
lna son of Mr. Joseph Crutchner, was shot
and killed by negro at his store, near Whit
takers Turnout, on the line of the Weldon
North Carolina railroad. Early on the even
ing Of the fatal affair, an attempt was made to
break into Mr.. Crutchner's store, but before
the burglar-who was negro succeeded in do
ing so, he was frightened off by the sounds of
approaching footsteps. A few hours later the
fellow again returned and forced his way into
the store, after which he steathily walked up
to where Mr.. G. was sleeping and struck him
over the head with a Ratchet. The assassin
then followed up his blows till life was extinct.
When found next morning, the murdered man
presented CHASTITY appearance. There were
eleven wounds from hatchet-which was
found close by-in different parts of his body,
and the floor on which he lay was flooded with
blood
Much excitement prevails in Edgecombe
county in consequence of this foul Decd and as
soon as it was discovered large number Of
citizens armed themselves and started in pur-
suit Of the murderer. At the latest accounts
he had not been captured.
