MURDER MOST FOUL.
White Woman's Head Split
Open in Her Own Yard.
Bloody Axe bysHer Side as She Knelt by a
Stump With Her Arms Filled With
fagots.

A brutal murder occurred in Wake
county Saturday. 1t took place near
Pernell, about six miles from Wake
Forest, and it was a woman who was
killed, her head being split open with
an axe.
Her name is given as Mrs. Catherine
White, though by some she IS known as
Mrs. Fannie Bailey She vas about &C
years old, lived by herself AID had Il
small farm. She was an expert weaver
of carpets and often did work OF this
kind.
DR.. T. M. Jordan went to Pernell Sun
day and held an inquest, examiaing scmc
ten or twelve witnesses. From them the
following information was gathered:
About o'clock Saturday afternoon
Messrs. s. NJ Little and June Allen
passed her house and saw her back of
her house picking berries. About 4
o'clock Mr.. Robert Turner passed and
saw the dead body in the yard He i'm
medately gave the alarm.
The dead woman was kneel;ng by a
stump with her head forward III tn,
ground, and some facets in her arms.
The entire back of her head was crushed
in and cut with an axe, and this weapon
of death lay, all bloody, by her side.
She must have been using the axe to
cut wood and her maTderer used it.
In her pocket was .ound 35 cents, two
knives, three tooth brushes, snuff AMI a
plug of tobacco. Nothing in her little
home was disturbed and So was found
in pocketbook. There was no indica-
ton of robbery
Nothing was brought out at the coro-
ner's inquest to lead to an ,rrest On
the jury were Messrs, S. n. Little r.
N. Griffin, S. B. Mangum, A. S. G..
Gooch, E. O. Penny and S. ]. Collins
and these went over the testimony most
patiently. The inquest was held under
a little clump of trees, but great
crowd surged around and the interest
was intense.
One of the witnesses was the woman S
brother, James White His testimony is
reported as contradictory on financial
matters In his testimony he said that
he owed her $50 when other testimony
indicated that the sum was larger. A
deceased sister is reported to have left
81 900 to Wake Forest College, the in
terest to go to the deceased and James
White, and at the death of one all to
go to the survivor. The testimony
showed that White and his sister were
on good terms and she had spent the
morning at his house near at hand TAX
ing care OF the children while he and his
wife We're absent.
The only man arrested and brought
before the jury was Lorenzo Morris a
half witted fellow about twenty years
old. He accounted for his time Satur-
day except about an hour in the after
noon between two and four. 1t was
shown tnAt he made habit of hanging
around the house and this brought sus-
picion. Jhe coroner found no evidence
for the jury to hold him on. Some time
ago he was with a drunken crowd which
did some damage at the womans hous :,
but this had been settled
The officers are making other investi-
cations, though there is as yet no clue
TO the murderer of the woman.

A RUMMAGB PARTY.
Trading Was Lively, but Profits
Were Small,


A "rummage party was given CD
Saturday evening last by Mrs. W. N.
McGill, Mrs. Frank Paul and Mrs.
Jno. Weber at the home of Mrs. Paul,
the event being 10 honor of Mrs. A. C.
Cleveland and Mrs. F. Morgan, and a
most enjoyable evening was passed.
Now rummage party is function
at which mercenary people trade off
household articles that have survived
their usefulness to their unsuspecting
neighbors for other articles, equally
'valueless, the method of barter being
similar to the way small boys trade
jack knives-unsight and unseen.
For an hour or more trading was
lively and when it was all over junk
dealer would not have given a FIVE cent
nickel for the entire stock in trade.
However, the refresh ments, which
were served in the dining room just be-
fore the midnight hour, more than
compensated for the disappointment of
those who hoped to outwlt their neigh
oors In driving sharp bargain, and
the guests took their departure with
the determination to attend the very
next rummage party to which they
plight be invited.
Those present were Messrs. and Mes
