promised to % his best. The request
for such a b 'lding was made when

On Saturday night last about IL o'clock
in Potterfleld. a suburban portion OF
Chapel Hill, Willis Neville, a negro
carpenter and former school teacher,
was killed. Neville and his daughter.
Sophie, are supposed to have been In
the house alone when the deed was
committee, and though the daughter
was in the house at the time, nothing
was known Of the crime until Sunday
morning, when 1t was discovered by a
negro and reported to the
town authorities. AS Neville and his
daughter have never gotten along well,
as they had had q quarrel on Saturday
morning and both had been drinking
Saturday night, the daughter was at
once suspected of the murder. More
over, though only 20 years or age, she
has been convicted Of crime several
times before and was known as pref
ty tough character. Neville himself
was about go. There were two pistol
wounds, either of one Of which would
have resulted In death. The inquest,
Squire A. S. Barbee acting as coro-
ner, was held Monday afternoon. There
were fifteen witnesses and the evidence
against Sophie Neville was conclusive,
the verdict Of the coroner's jury being
that Neville came by his death at the
hands of his daughter, Sophie.
