Duck Phillips Killed.

Now that Parsons has confess.
ed, the mystery surrounding the
death of Duck Phillips comes to
light.
On the night of Friday, Aug.
LIST, Duck Phillips, a colored man
aged about SO who drives a jitney
for M. R. Sharpe of Hamlet, car
ried Mr.. Sharpe home about $3.50
o'clock. At nine o'clock a pass
enger, Parsons it now develops,
hired him for a trip. Nothing
further was seen of Duck until
the following Monday morning
when a section hand, stepping
out into the bushes near the
Gates farm, between Hoffman
and Marston, discovered a terri
Bile odor and following it found
the dead body of Duck, about a
hundred yards from the public
road. A bullet hole was through
the left side of the head and a
hole in the chest. Signs showed
the body had been dragged from
the road to the spot, and a dis
turbance of the ground indicated
that the man was not quite dead
when dragged there, as the foot
stirred up the earth as if in a
death sporadic kick. A coroner's
inquest was held, the verdict be-
ing that he came to his death at
the hands of unknown party or
parties.
The Car had disappeared, and
no clue was available as to who
killed Duck or what became of
the Car, until Chief Braswell saw
the car pass him in Durham
Wednesday at noon.
And now for a history of that
Duck Phillips car. 1t seems that

after killing Duck, Parsons drove
the car to Durham. Next morn
ing, Saturday, Aug. End, a Mr..
E. D. Woody, a contractor at
Durham, was in billiards. garage
and was approached about $50
by a stranger who remarked that
he had a car to sell him about
which he was speaking the week
before. Woody replied that the
man was mistaken, as he had
never seen him. parsons was
evidently mistaking Woody for
o. D. Barber; they resemble.)
The man, Parsons, then told him
he had a car he wanted to sell,
that it was given him by farm
er on a debt, and that it had no
encumbrance etc. Parsons then
carried Woody to Mangum street
to see it, claiming that he could
not drive a car himself. The up
shot was that Woody bought the
car for $3.50 and an hour later
sold it to R. E. billiard for $34O.
Woody paid Parsons 5000 cash
and a check for $50, with the bill
of sale.
The foregoing, in brief, is a
history of the Duck Phillips Car.

passed another car containing a
man and two women, the other
car going about Is miles. Allen
in a glance recognized his car, as
we'll as the numbers! Quickly
Braswell stopped, turned around
and sped back towards Sanford
By another streak of luck, a
freight was standing across the
street, and this held up the Par
sons car, for such it turned out to
be. Approaching Parsons, Chief
asked where he got it. He said
''in Durham" and that he paid
$3.50. A Sanford officer then ar
rested him and he was lodged in
Jail. This was about 5 o'clock
Saturday afternoon. Chief quiz
zed him in Jail, and then placing
handouts on him told him he was
going to carry him to Durham to
find the man from whom he said
he bought the Car. Parsons there
upon told him he hadn't told the
truth, that for a fact he and the
negro Wilson had consplred to
steal the car, that when they got
to Durham he had given the
negro $50 tor his interest in the
car and that the negro had then
gone to Greensboro. Chief then
brought Parsons to Hamlet where
he remained III the lookup until a
hearing was given him before
Recorder Austin the 18th. The
Recorder bound him to Superior
Court under a $3.50 bond, which
he was unable to give, and he
was lodged in Jail. The charge
against him was larceny and re-
ceiving.
On Thursday, the 26th, Messr5
L. w. P. Webb and E. A. Wad-
dell came to Rockingham and ar
ranged to give the required bond.
Sheriff Mcdonald was about to
release him, was within a few
minutes of doing so, when he re-
ceived the following telegram
from Chief Braswell from Dur
ham:
"Hold Parsons without bail. New
and strong evidence developed. j. S.
BrasweIl." -.
The wire of course kept Par
sons in jail.
In the meantime after commit
ting Parsons to Jail Monday,
Chief Braswell went to Green's

boro in search of the negro, and
then went to Durham. And here
is where another remarkable part
comes in. He was sitting in a
car on Main street at noon We'd
nesday eating a lunch, when he
noticed a Ford pass, and his
trained eye observed that it had
two new tenders and a new run
ing board on the left side. This
corresponded with the car stolen
from Hamlet Aug. LIST "details of
which appear further down, and
for which Parsons was connect
ed in the killing of Duck
Phillips) Chief fastened after
the car, but it had disappeared.
He then went to R. E. billiards.
garage, simply strolling about on
the lookout, when by another
strange chance a man drove up
in an Oakland and told the gar
age people he wanted to swap
for a Ford. The billiard people
brought out the Sharpe Ford
Sharpe the owner in Hamlet
from whom the first. Ford was
stolen) and as soon as Braswell
saw it he called an officer and
a trade was forbidden. Chief
wired M. r. Sharpe at Hamlet
to come to Durham at once to
identify his car. This Sharpe
did August 28th, and for that
reason Braswell wired Sheriff
Mcdonald at once to hold Par
sons without bail.
Braswell then came to Rock
ingham next day, and upon
interviewing Parsons in the Jail
cell, Parsons admitted killing Joe
Wilson and taking the car.
He denied killing the first negro,
Duck Phillips, AID says that a
white man named James Ham
neck, of Virginia, and who he
met in Durham, did the actual
killing of Phillips, while he HIM
self was seated on the rear seat
and took no part. However, he
says he sold the car next day for
$3.50 ard according to agreement
divided half (S125) with Ham
mock. This, he claims, Was the
last he saw of Hammock. The
next JOB, the Joe Wilson killing
and car theft, was done entirely
by himself, he says.
He said he had not
planned the killing of Joe Wilson
when he left Hamlet, that a no.
ton simply came to him on the
spur of the moment. He said he

These animals were shipped by
