BRUTAL MURDER NEAR MILFORD
Stephen Lindsey, aged about 80 years,
was murdered on the County road near
Frederica Thursday, about a. m, at
a place known as Carpenters Bridge.
He was seen fishing on the bridge in
company with two colored men, and in
about half an hour was found dead.
One cf the negroes was seen running
up the road and when asked what the
matter was, replied that he was after
the coroner, who lived near by.
The mans skull was crushed by a
heavy stone broken from the foundation
of the bridge, and the head and face pre-
sented a horrible spectacle. His watch,
which was a silver hunting case, was

known to contain S25 and some small
change, in fact his pockets were riaed
and turned inside out.
The young men seen in his company
were Fred young and Jesse Proctor
