sent to the penitentiary some twelve

nation, saying that she had been
informed that her boy had been put

working hard and attending to his
duties all the time. The Governor

about sin miles from suffolk. who was
found dead Sunday evening with his
neck broken and with cuts. bruises
and finger marks all over his face and
neck.
There seems no doubt thar the. hor-
rible deed was premeditated by the
assassin. AS there is evidence that the
assault Was made at dark SPOT i'm
the road. and that the body was drag
Sed into a thiCket nearby. where the
lnhuman crime was consummated
and where the lifeleSS and maneled
body was found.
The boy left his home Saturday eve
ming 10 visit friends at the home of
JSduie Byrd, about three-QuartrrS OF
Il mile away. and il was while on his
way there that the murder took
place. The absence of any motive
further than pure tiendishneSS makes
the crime horrible beyond deScrip-

found on him. which precludes the
idea of robbery. The boy is said 10
have been peaceful and quiet. Every
