A Young Girl Ravished and Man
Probably Lynched.
Special to The State.

Greenville, Nov. The reported
criminal outrage near Pelzsr has
been discussed here today but it is
difficult to get any information
fl ON Peizer and answers to phone
messages have been vague and
indstinate. The outrage seems to
have been committed upon u little
girl named Palmer. whose father
is Il we'll known citizen, and ,lere
is no doubt that the nsighbors
wsnt in search of the negro.
Whether or not he was overtakan
lnthat vicinity points to prob
able lynching. Officials and news
paper men d,d net enjoy the full
confidence of frionds who were
asked for particulars over the
phone and their efforts were un-
availing to untansl 10 the mystery.
