Negroes Confessed to
 Killing Not Committed
 Victim Returns Home

Greensboro, June 1e.- Especial J. Two self-confessed murderers have just been released from the Greens boro jail. because their proposed vic tim turned up safe and sound.
 The case is rather a unique one in Sheriff Martins annals. and he is a little bit puzzled. A small negro boy disappeared from his home near Akron, and a vigorous search failed to disclose his whereabouts. Two young negroes, one aged fifteen the other about ten, came forward and said they had killed the missing boy. They entered into very minute account of how they knocked him in the head first stunning him, then cutting him to pieces with their knives Mortified listeners could do no more than send for the Hale county sheriff, and tho boys were brought to Greensboro by Deputy Sheriff John Martin and lodged in jail. They were there only a few days before their alleged victim turned up safe and sound. having only obeyed the call of the wanderlust, and gone for a spell, to wander back as the bangs of hunger pinched him.

the pitching. Ordinarily, said pitcher
is a mighty hard man to hit. This par.
ticular occasion was one of his few OF
days. He was wild. and when he did
manage to get one over the batter
would take all kinds of liberties with
it. At such times it is always the cue
for the pitcher to alibi himself at the
expense of the umpire.
Moriarty, who was umpiring balls
and strikes, was displeasing the pitch
er most of the afternoon. The pitcher
managed to win his game despite the
fact that the opposing team made
eight runs. In the eighth inning, after
Moriarty had failed to call certain
batter out on strikes, the pitcher let
the world know that he thought the
umpiring was sour.
"That is ID you have missed on
mel" he yelled.
"How manyy asked Moriarty In a
voice equally loud.
Fourteen replied the pitcher.
Then in a voice that carried all over
the park, Moriarty replied:
"Some one must have told you to
say that; you can't count that far"
