THREATENED WITH DEATH.
Rope About Neck of Student
Charged With Theft.

RALEIGH. n. c.. May 2O.-Thursday
morning about 2 o'clock five students Of
the Agricultural and Mechanical College
here went to the room OF a freshman,
who. they claimed. had stolen their prop
erty. took him out near the railroad
track back Of the college. tied a rope to
tree and threatened to hang him If
he did not confess. The freshman broke
away. went to the college and gave the
alarm.
The commandant, with the aid OF the
seniors and other students, inspected the
dormitories and found four students miss
ing. After an investigation four students,
all freshmen except one. were expelled
from the institution. Among the number
was the student who was threatened.
As this was a case of freshman against
freshman, the act was not regarded as
hazing, but as a case of students who
claimed to have had property stolen from
them attempting to take the law into
their own hands. There has been no
hazing at the college in three years.
