A Mysterious AFFAIR.
[(lold,ho LN. C.l Messenger.


On Monday last Mr.. Y. j. Lee, Of Mea-
dow township. Johnston county, came here
10 make search for a Miss Mary Francis
Bausas. who according TO letter received
bad died suddenly In the vicinity Of Colds
boro'.
IL seems tina, the young woman, said to be
OF French descent on her fathers side, and
Some twenty.four years old, had been living
the past year with the mother Of Mr.. Lee,
aud by her good conduct had greatly en-
deared herself 10 the family aud the entire
Deighborhood. She claimed 10 have previ-
ously lived With The family Of Mr.. JoDn A.
Butler, In Sampson county, bur often spoke
Of having property in Wayne county, both
real and personal, left her by Der fathers
will.
About ten days ago she left the Meadows
ria Selma for Goid~boro' for the purpose OF
collecting her personal effects here 80 that
they might be taken to Mrs. Lees. in John
ston. To this end it was understood that
Mr.. Y. J. Lee was to meet her here on
Tuesday with a wagon TO take her back
home with him. TO their great surprise
they received the following letter:
"GOLDsBoRo'. N. c.. Dec. s, 1880.
" Mr. y. j. Lee d: Dear Sir,-The girl tbat
lived with you, Mary Francis Bausas, died
last night, and begged Tor you 10 The last.
livery respectfully,
MARY LANE.
"P. s. She wanted YOU 10 take care Of her
property, but could not say anything about
II last night She was worth good property
600 acres Of land and some money. am a near
neieh bor OF hers, aud she begged me 10
write to YOU. She died very suddenly, and
IL is said her stepmother poisoned her.
"MARY LANE
The whole aff,r appears to be involved
with mystery. The girl undoubtedly came
here, and from all accounts stopped at Mr.
i. Abrams house Tuesday night OF last
week, but left the following day, ,as she
claimed, TO Visit her m0ther-in-law. All
efforts since have failed 10 trace her where
abouts. and there i, no person in Gold boro'
or vicinity who could have written the let
ter by the name Of Mary Lane, and diligent
inquiry by our coroner. sheriff, and Others,
has thus far failed 10 elicit any further In
| formation about the girl or her step mother.
The letter was post.marked at Goldsboro'
the S.h instant, and is evidently in mans
writing.
1t is thought that The whole affair may be
put-up Job on the part VI the girl, Dp'
Mr. Lee is unwilling to believe that such
can be The case. II may be proper also 10
state here that The records of the court bear
no evidence of any such will or property
| In the mean time Coroner Kirby is anxious
to ferret deeper into the mysterious affair,
and it is hoped that persons having any in
formation that will throw further light on
the matter will speedily communicate the
same 10 him.
