Seek Negro Fugitive.
Especial to the Newark star.l

MOUNT HOLLY, Sept. 1.-THE wife
of William H. Mertland. a farmer llv-

condition. Samuel Layfield, a. negro,
employed by Mortland, attacked Mrs.
Mortland during the absence of the
woman's husband yesterday afternoon.
Armed citizens are searching for the
ney:,, who is from Virginia.
She was struck over the head with a
club, carried to the house unconscious
bound hand and foot and gagged, and
after being placed In a bed was COW
cred with several blankets and nearly
smothered, and she lay In that condi-
ton for several hours.
Layheld, it is alleged, robbed the
house, stealing a gold watch and chain
and $50. Leaving the place he met
Mortland driving home. Layfeld told
Mortland that a man had been to the
house to buy a pair of mules and was
told that he could see Mortland In
Moorestown. The farmer drove back
TO Moorestown, taking Layfield with
him. AS no stranger put in an ap-
p~earance, Mortland drove home to hno
