Brutal Murder and Roljberrj of Mr, G. lr. Fowler, at Moores-villel The Murderer Lynched ly a, Large Mob. The town ot Moorcsville was thrown into a state of intense ex citement, on Tuesday evening of last week, by the information "that Mr. G. W. Fowler, a ninth beloved citizen, had been brutally murdered and robbed. Tho particulars in the case, as furnished us by thoroughly reliable persons are those : Be tween 0 and f o'clock, on the eve ning the dark deed was committed, Mr; Fowler, who was a merchant, closed his store and began to wend his wav homeward. Just before closing his store, in the presence of several negroes, he placed the con tents ot his cash drawer into a little bas which was thrust in his pocket, with a memorandum book. In about a half hour from the time he left his place of hi;Mncss, he was found in a prostrate condition on the ground, about half way between Ins stole and residence, by A color ed man named Eli Alexander. The alarm was immediately given, wheti the unfortunate man was bourne to his home and l'livsit-ans called in. T.vo severe wounds were discovered in the-rear of his ri-ht rirht I ear, fracturing his skull. It is sup posed the wound was inflicted with a loaded stick or a piece ot iron. ,.fi . , , Most ot the money on Mr. bowler's Wine i was toii!?I Ktf?rrtfrl iu lutl u 1 log, near the spot where the r.ssault was made.

Soon after Gillespie made his confession, several hundred people from the surrounding country col lected in Moorcsville and great ex citement prevailed. "When the court adjourned for dinner, so intense was tho excitement that the citizens took Davidson from tho officers, placed a rope around his neck, and hanged him up for a whilej with a view of extorting a confession, or rather confess to what he knew. He presistertly refused to make a statement and was hanging by the neck when the mob was prevailed upon to cut him down.
