A MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING.
Woman of Norman Belief Admits
killing an Intruder.


CHARLOTTE, n. O., Dec. lS.-There IS
now being Investigated at Dobson, the
county seat Of Surry county, N. G., one
of the most mysterious murders ever
committed in North Carolina
About the middle of November, Mrs.
Sarah Wallace, woman in full synpa-
thy with Utah and Representative hob
erts' manner Of living, came to Dobson
and reported that she had. on the night
previous, shot and killed Sol Simpson.
She returned home, and found, as she
claims, that while she was away to sur
render to the authorities, some one came
with q wagon and removed the dead
body, which she he'd left lying in front
Of her door.
The body had been secreted, and so
far no trace fit has been found, though
dillisent search has now been made.
Some sour days ago the father Of the
murdered man, not hearing anything
from his missing son, and having heard
these reports, had warrants sworn out,
with the result that Mrs. Wallace Is
now in Jail, and the search for the miss
ing CORPSE continues. It seams now
that she duplicates man of some stand
ing and fair means. and, if the body is
ever found, Surrey county will have a
highly sensational and complicated
murder trial.
Her story is now that this man was
with her, and that they knew Sol Simp-
son was coming. AS she had no way to
defend herself. the man gave her his
pistol and then retired. Simpson
knocked for admittance, and Mrs. Wal.
lace informed him that she did not care
for his company. He declared he would
come in any way. and after two heavy
assaults on the door with a rock the
door fell and Simpson started to enter:
AS he reached the threshold she fired
the pistol. and he fell. Then, as she
claims. she went to Dobson to surren-
der, and while she was there the body
was removed and secreted.
