MURDER.
A WOMAN FOUND CHOKED DEAD.

On Saturday night last about II
o'clock the news began to spread
about town that colored woman had
been found dead at her home near
Woodlands wharf, and that foul play
was suspected. Coroner Bateman and
other officers at once proceeded to the
scene where they found woman,
Melinda Harrell, lying in the arms OF
death with a cloth tied tightly
around her throat. After brief in
vestigation several parties were arres-
ted and jailed.
On Sunday q jury being duly sum-
moned and sworn, inquiry was i'm.
mediately instituted. The jury was
at work investigating the affair about
three days and nights, when they
returned q verdict that the deceased
came to her death at the hands of
one Butler Jones.
Jones in a young negro about 81
years of age and has a bad reputa
ton. He is now confined in our county
Jail to await the action Of our next
Superior Court, which convenes in
Edenton on the first Monday in
April.
