Whiteville. n. c.. Feb. A.
What appears to be a foul murder
occurred at Armour. in this county,
Tuesday night or Wednesday morning
of last week
Some time during Wednesday the
body of jeff Davis. a fourteen-year old
orphan white boy. who at last term
of court here was convicted of being
implicated In breaking into a store at
Iron Hill. and bound out by the court
to j. W. Collins of Armour, was found
in a mill pond near the home of Mr..
Collins. At first it was thought that
perhaps the boy had committed SUI
eide by drowning himself in the pond.
but Il Jury was summoned and il was
found upon examination that the boy s
neck was broken. there was no water
~ his lungs and finger prints We're
plainly visible on his neck and throat.
The coroner's Jury rendered YER
dict to the effect that the boy came
20 his death at the hands Of some
party or parties unknown.
Later circumstances developed
which pointed TO Collins. the man to
whom the boy was bound. as the
guilty party and q warrant for his ar
rest was sworn out before Magistrate
S. B. King, but when officers went
to serve the warrant Collins could lot
be found, having made his escape.
Mr.. Collins is Il prosperous farmer
of the Armour section, and at last
election was declared elected as con-
stable of Ransom township, and gave
bond and qualified for that office;
though there was much opposition to
him in that community. and it was
claimed by a number OF citizens Of that
township that his election was the re-
suit of fraud.
1t is stated by some that Collins
was engaged In the Illicit distilling of
whiskey. and that the boy Davis.
knew of this, and the theory is dd-
vanced that the fear that the boy
would tell what he knew Of this BUSH
ness was the motive which prompted
Collins to DLlt an end to him,
