Murderous Hands Deal Death Blows to Four of This Family Mr. Isaac Lyerly, his Wife, Daugh ter and Little Son Killed in Their Home Near Cleveland Rowan County, at an E-rlyHour This Morning. The Scene of the Crime was Near Cleveland, in Rowan County. F've Negroes Have Be3n Arres ted and are in Jail at Salisbury. Excitement Runs Very High. Salisbury, July 14.— Rowan county from center to circumference is stir rod today as it has never been before. The cause of this unusual excitement is the murder of Isaac Lyerly, Mrs. Isaac Lyerly, Janie Lyerly, and John Lyerly, at their homo a short distance from Cleveland this morning. In the annals of blood-curdling crime in North Carolina the murder of Mr. Lyerly, his wife and children, stands without a parallel. Between one and two o'clock tnis morning unknown brutes (for they can not to be dignified by being called human beings) entered the home of Mr. Lyerly pud with a murderous axe dealt death to four of his family. . On entering tne room, which was down stairs, the murderers first went to the bed that was occupied by Mr. Lyerly and his son. John nine years old. Mr. Lyerly's skull was crushed with a single blow and his brains were scattered on the pillow. Another blow crushed the skull of his son, who was nestling close beside his beloved father. The murderers then went across the room to the bed where Mrs. Lyerly and her daughters. Jane and Alice, were sleeping. Two blows from the axe instantly killed Mrs. Lyerly and her daughter Janie. A third blow crushed the skull of little Alice Lyerly, the six year old daughter and the baby of the family. While she was rendered unconscious she was still living this afternoon at three o'clock. After . committing these fiendish deeds the murderers set fire to the bed 011 which lay the bodies of Mr. Lyerly and his son John and fled from the house. A few moments after the bed cloth ing became ignited Miss Mary Lyerly, the 18 year old daughter and oldest child, who was sleeping with her sister, Miss Addie, in an upstairs room, be — - • - - THE LYERLY HOME- . tected the odor of smoke. Believing that her home was on fire, she quickly awoke her sister and rushed down stairs in her parents room. There a sight that beggars descrip tion met her gaze. By the dim light! of the burning bedding she saw the! prostrate form of her father and little' brother as they lay in pools of their own blood. Casting her eyes to the other side of the room, an equally harrowing sight met* her gaze. There her mother and little sister Janie lay with their skulls crushed and blood rushing from ugly wounds. Close beside her mother, next to the wall, was little Alics, cringing and creening because of a murderous blow that had been dealt by a merciless hand. Seeing the father and mother, sister and brother were all dead, she picked up little Alice and ran from the house. She was closely followed by her sister, Addie the two taking the dying child to the home of Mr. Philip Cook, a half mile away. The screams of the two young ladies arroused Mr. Cook and- family and they were immediately given entrance to his home. They took the prostrate body of little Alice into Mr. Cook's bed room. While bending over her little form the two daughters told in broken voices of the horrible crimes that had been committed at their home. Mr. Cook immediately went to the nearest neighbors and told them of the crimes. Four or five gathered and went immediately to the Lyerly home When Mr. Cook entered the room in which the bodies were, he says he saw wftat he hopes never to see again. The mother and little daughter were cold in death, and their heads beaten almost into a pulp. The same was true of Mr. Lyerly and his little son. John. Nothing could be done with the bodies until the coroner viewed them, so Mr. Cook and his friends kept vigil during the remaining hours of the night. f As soon as the crime was known of in Cleveland art that section, neigh bors oommenced to swarm around the house and dire threats were made on j all hands against those who would 1 perpetrate such a hellish crime. Search-1 ing parties were immediately gotton up and neighbors went here and there l hoping to find some trace of the mur derers. Word was sent to Salisbury, Winston- Salem, Mooresville and to Charlotte, asking that bloodhounds be dispatched in order to trace the crimi nals. People went about in a frenzied state of mind, hardly knowing what course was best to pursue. A message was sent, to ihe Govern or asking that he use his good offices to secure the bloodhounds at the peni tentiary and have them sent to the scene at once. Private Secretary Ar lington answered this telegram, saying 'that dogs were not available, but that I in the absence of the Governor a pro clamation would be issued offering $350 reward for the arrest and convic tion of the guilty parties. Suspected Parties Arrested. Around the jail in Salisbury this afternoon excitement runs high. Of ficers from Cleveland have just put behind the bars three negro men and two negro women who are suspected of either knowing of the crimes or having been directly connected. These are Mitchell Graham ana wife, Jack Dellingham and wife and John Jor dan. While the officers are reticent, they declare that strong evidence has been secured and that because of this evidence the five negroes have been landed in jail. It seems that the strongest clue that the officers have been able to secure is against Mitchell Graham and his wife. It is said that Graham i? the man who made the threat that Mr. Lyerly, "Might cut his wheat, but would never live to eat it." The latest news from little Alice Lyerly is that her condition is ex itremely critical and that the wound lin the head may prove fatal at any moment. The attending physicians hold out little or no hope for her recovery. STATE OFFERS REWARD. Private Secretary Offers $350 Reward, Governor Glenn Being absent at At lantic City. Raleigh N. C., July 14. —Governor Glenn received a telegram this morning from R. R. Mulliken, a tele graph operator at Baroer Junction to the effect that about three o'clock this morning an unknown person entered the home of Mr. Ike Lyerly, one of the most peaceable and respected citizens and murdered Lyerly his, wife, and three youngest children who were all sleeping on the first floor. The murderer then set the house on fire, and fled. The smoke and flames awoke Lyerly's two eldest daughters who were sleeping up stairs. They rushed down in time to get the bodies of the murdered parents, brothers and sister and saved them from burning. There is no clue to the murderers but the citizens are scouring the counttry for them. Mr. Mulliken appealed to the Gover nor to send, at once blood hounds. Orders were issued from the Gover nor's office for the sending of the hounds from the penitentiary, but it was found that the institution has only two young and untrained CC"*"*- Besides they are at this time on tne Halifax county state farm. Although unable to provide the hounds a proclamation was promptly issued from the Governor's office offering $350 reward for the ar rest of the murderers. This action is taken by Private Secretary A. H. Ar ringtons" Governor Glenn being now at Atlantic. City. . - MURDERERS USED CLUBS. The Five Victims Were Clubbed to Death it is Thought. Winston-Salem, July 14. —Isaac Ly erly, his wife and three youngest chil dren were murdered in their home one mile east of Bar ber's Junction, between 1 and 2 o'clck this morning by unknown parties, who afterwards robbed the house and then set fire to the bed on which Mr. and Mrs. Lyerly were killed. The oldest daughters, who were sleeping upstairs, were awakened and rushed down just in time to extinguish | the flames and save the home from de struction. It is thought the robbers killed their I victims with clubs. Lyerly was a wealthy merchant and farmer, and his family is recognized as one of the best in that section. As soon as the news of the murder and robbery was received here Deputy Sheriff Hutchins went to the scene with bloodhounds. Later, a report was received that two negroes had been ar rested. One is quoted as saying a few days ago, after Mr. Lyerly had refused to allow him to cut his wheat, "that the old man may cut his grain, but he'll never live to eat it." Governor Glenn received a message from Barber's Junction appealing to him for help. There were no blood hounds to be sent from the penitentia ry. The Governor issued a proclama tion offering a reward of $350 for the arrest of the murderers. A Negro's Threat. Winston-Salem, Julyl4—lsaac Ly erly wife two daughterss.and son were murdered in their home one mile east of Barbers Junction between 3 and 4 o'clock this morning by unknown par ties who afterward robbed the house and then set fire to the bed on which Mr. and Mrs. Lyerly were killed. Two older daughters who were sleep ing up stairs were awakened and rushed down just in time to extinguish the flames and save the home from destruction. It is thought that the robbers killed the five parties with clubs. Mr. Lyer ly was a wealthy merchant and farmer and the family was recognized as one of the best in that section. As soon as the news of the murder and robbery was received here deputy sheriff Hutcheri was requested to go to the scene with his blood hounds. He left on a special train at six o'clock with his dogs. I Later —A report came that two ne groes had been arrested. One of these was quoted as saying a few days ago, after Mr. Lyerly had refused to allow him to cut his wheat, that "the old man may cut his grain, but he'll never live to eat it." From Salisbury. Salisbury, July 14. —This morning between 2 and 3 o'clock burglars en tered the home of Mr. Isaac Lyerly, of Cleveland, this county, a village on the Western railroad 11 miles from Salisbury. Mr. Lyerly, his wife and three children were murdered. A message at 3 o'clock summoned Sheriff Julian to the scene and the officers and a large posse are on the hunt tor the murderers. ' Excitement runs high here, where Mr. Lyerly was well known. He was about 65 years old, a prosperous farm er and a business man, and one of the best known citizens of the county. Details are meagre at this hour, 8:00 a. in. The five negroes who are suspected of being implicated in the murder of the Lyerly family, were brought to Charlotte Saturday night by Sheritf Julian of Rowan county. The names of the negroes are: Mitchell Graham, George Irwin, John Gillespie, Jack Dil lingham and Henry Gillespie. Sheriff Julian, on his arrival at the county jail turned the prisoners over to Deputy Sheriff E. O. Johnston who at once put them behind the bars. All five of the negroes were fright ened in an inch of their lives. All the way from Salisbury to Charlotte they were trembling and crouching beneath the car seats for fear some one would do them harm. The trip to this city was made without incident, though Sheriff Julian thought he would encounter trouble at the station in Salisbury. He managed to get the prisoners on the "blind" side of the cars and got them aboard the second class car without any one knowing of their presence. Yesterday afternoon a News man went to the county jail and had a long conversation with the five pris oners. All, with the exception of Mitchell Graham, declined to talk very much. Graham, however, was very conversant and seemed both willing and eager to tell his side of the story. He declares that he knew nothing of the wholesale murder of the Lyerly family until a Mr. Barber informed him of the crime about 5 o'clock Sat urday morning. He says that he was in bed at his home when Mr. Barber passed along the road and yelled for him. He went to the door of his house and Mr. BarDer asked him if he had heard what had happened down at old man Lyerly's home. He told him he had not and then Mr. BarDer told him of the horrible crime that had been committed during the night. Graham says that he was starred and hardly knew what to say or think. He dressed as quickiy as possible and went down to the Lyerly home, which is a distance o? about three quarters of a mile from hi* house. He was standing out in the yard talk ing with one or twc other negroes about the affair when he was arrested. John Gillespie and Henry Gillespie, step-sons of Mitchell Graham, were plowing in a field about two miles from the Lyerly home when an officer arrested them. Both of these boys are bright mulattoes and have rather good faces. They, of course, declare they kuow nothing of the crime ana claim that they can establish the fact that they remained at their home from 8 o'clock Friday night until 5 o'clock Saturday morning. Jack Dillingham, another one of the five is a rather squatty negro and much darker than either of the Gillespie boys. He has piercing black eyes and there is something about his appear ance that denotes meanness. There is nothing, however, in the evidence, so far accumulated, that will directly •connect Dillingham with the crime. It is known, however, that Dillingham is very intimate with Mitchell Graham and this fact may mitigate against him. George Irwin, the fifth negro now in the county jail here will not speak of the crime at all. He seems to be per fectly satisfied to listen to the story that Mitchell Graham tells. He, of course, denies that he is in any way implicated in the crime. He is a black, swarthy negro and there is noth ing attractive about him. It is not known uow long the five negroes will remain in the Mecklen burg jail. Some think that the best policy would be for Rowan county to have them transferred to the State penitentiary at Raleigh. There they would be perfectly safe while here there is a doubt as to their safety. SPECIAL TERM OF COURT. I Governor Glenn Orders a Special Term of Court for Trial of Lyerly Murder ers.

Is Thought that she Drowned Herself and Children. Reward Offered. Union, S. C., July 14—Has Mrs. Harriett Hoburn drowned herself and two children in Tyger river, as the result of being beaten and shot by a party of white men at her home near Coleraine last v/eek? It seems that Union county has an other sensational affair of the white capping order. The first news reached here a day or two ago, and the following seems to be the facts as secured from many different. and apparently responsible sources: Mrs. Harriett Hoburn, aged about 35 years, with a boy about eleven and a little girl about five, have been living on Linder Carrier's place near Cole raine since May Ist. She is said to have been originally from Texas, and had lost all she had by fire about ten years ago and again had everything de stroyed in the June flood of 1903. As to her character, several persons say she was "straight," others say they know nothing against her. ' On the nigth of July 3rd some white men, some say two, others say seven, went to her home and called her to the door. When she opened it, she was caught, and evidently shot at, because she is said to have been shot through the cheek and through the shoulder, and the house is said to show bullet holes. The men then thrashed her terribly, and also her young boy. It is said one man burst a quart bottle over her head, besides beating her with thorn bushes. It is reported that after being beaten, she was driven from her house, and with her children forced to stay out in the rain all night, and that the next morning when she went to breakfast she was again set upon and run off. It is reported tnat a responsible man saw her making her way with the children toward Burnt Factory and Acorn pond on Tyger river, and that asked if she had Jost her way, as she was on a plantation road, she replied in such a manner that some think she was intending to drown herself and children. Anyway, so far as can be learned, she has not been seen since, though Linder Carrier, on whose place she worked, sent out several per sons to loolt for her, but they found nothing. Mr. carrier told The News man over the long distance 'phone today that so far as he knew there was nothing against the woman's character; that he had sent men out looking for her, but the'search was fruitless, and that he would give SSO for sufficient evi dence to convict the person who per petrated teh outrage on her. DEATH OF WM. BOLAN, JR. Popular Young Son of Mr. Wm. Bo lan Died Instantly Yesterday After noon—Cadet T. H. Brevard Injured by Train. Raleigh, July 16. —Not in a great while have the people of Raleigh been so shocked as at the news of the death of William Bolan, Jr., the 21-year-old son of Mr. William Bolan, cf this city, at the Atlantic Hotel, Morehead, yesterday afternoon. He had left Raleigh the day before with a gay party of young friends in the best of health and spirits ap parently. The young man had been in the sound during the morning and was dressed for an afternoon dip, waiting in the room on the third floor for the party to gather. He had eaten very heartily at dinner. He was seen to gasp repeatedly and before any one could reach him he pitched out backwards to the ground. It is believed that he was dead before his body reached the j g.-ound. Accute indigestion is thought to have effected, a naturally weak heart and caused instant death. His remains were brought here and the funeral was conducted at 6 o'clock this evening. Cadet T. H. Brevard, of the A. and M. College, was slightly injured last night in Pullen Park, near the college being struck by a Southern passen ger train from Keysville. He and Cadet Irely were walking on the tracks at the point where the Sea board, Southern tracks are parellel. He stepped from the Seaboard to the Southern to avoid the Seaboard fast train. He did not realize that the Keysville train was approaching on the Southern. The baggage clerk on the Seaboard shouted warning as his train passed. Young Irely jumped off! in time but Brevard was struck and ' rolled off the to the side of the track. His leg was badly broken, a shoulder dislocated and severe bruises were. iuflicted. He will recover. He is J from Buncomb county, his guardian | being A. F. P. King, mayor of Hen aersonville. NEVER BE A CANDIDATE.
