MURDER IN KITTRELL.
One Negro Dead and Another in Jail
Charged With the Crime.

One Negro Dead and Another in Jail
Charged With the Crime.
A most diabolical crime, the cold
blooded murder of young negro
man, was perpetrated in Kittrell Sun
day night. There are conflicting re-
ports about the affair, but perhaps
the following given in special to the
NeaUs and Observer from kittrell is the
correct account:
Davis Row, a negro settlement at Kit
trell. was the scene OF a sensational muir
der at $50 Sunday evening. Moses Link,
who lives in one OF the houses, has many
daughters. One of these had married
one Plummer Hicks, who treated her SO
cruelty that she came back to her father.
Hicks hung around the place with a gun
for days, determined, as he expressed it,
to wipe out the whole family. While on
the watch Sunday night he espied his
wife leave neighbours accompanied by
a lad, Robert Crudup, and enter her
fathers house. Creeping up to within
thirty feet he blazed away at a couple
sitting on the porch. But Hicks wife
had entered the house. the couple con
sisting of her younger sister and her
beau, Robert Crudup. Crudup, shot in
the mouth and chest with a load OF
small shot at short range, staggered 10
doors and soon expired. The murderer
fled. but was captured at sunrise at work
in his crop on one of Capt. Thomas Cape
harris farms.
Coroner Dean went to kittrell Mon
day morning and held the inquest
DR.. Cheatham conducting the posi-
norton examination. Several wit
nesses swore positively to having
identified Plummer Hicks as the man
who fired the gun. He was committed
to Jail to answer the charge at the
next term of court.

the surf delightful, without the dan
gerous undertow found at so many
other places
We repeat, there is not a more de-
Hghtful seaside resort than Virginia
Beach. Nor is there more delight
full place to stop at than Mrs. Kinsey's
cottage. The Lodge is noted for its
excellent cuisine. There is variety,
abundance, the best of cooking, atten-

one does not always find at the
average summer resort boarding

very moderate.
