An assault which aroused the an ger of hundreds of people in south ern Guilford and northern Randolph, took place yesterday afternoon about 2 o’clock at the home oi j. G. Far low, just over the line in Randolph county. Mrs. Farlow who was in her bouse was hit over the head with a gun by a negro mnn who broke in the house, and her little crippled daughter, Mattie, was also hit in the mouth by the ruffian. Later last night the criminal, whose only ap jparent motive was robbery, hadn’t been captured. The negro was de scribed by those who saw him as hieing low, chunky and yellow. His Arail which was followed by blood hounds led into Guilford county and |HM lost on the concrete highway |kear the residence of Isaac Stanley. | Tho little Farlow girl says that Mto saw the negro crouching in the Mftjhard and she told her mother. Mr. iFirlow was in the field plowing. Mrs. Farlow looked up the house as mat she could. The negro came and ■Bid for a drink of water, Mrs. jßMlow spoke to him through the ■Mam door and told him to get a jßHak at the bucket outside. But he ■Hdenly whipped out his knife, cat ■l way through the screen and made a dash for the shotgun on the wall. Mrs. Farlow also reached for the gun but was overpowered by the negro, who struck her over the head. He knocked the woman down tnree times. The negro then ran. Mrs. Farlow. I greatly weakened by the assault l managed to get to a neighbor’s house 1 who called Deputy Capps, of Sum ner township, and notified county officers of Guilford and Randolph. Bloodhounds were brought from Asheboro. They got the scent im mediately and followed it for several miles. At one point on the trail, the shotgun was found with some shells that were the wrong size. The negro had picked up the wrong box when he took the gun. The negro is said to have been seen once since the crime took place. Tho little girl says that she would know him if he is ever brought be fore her. No complete search has been made of the house but it is though that probably the negro also took certain other valuables. A posse of about 30 or 40 self oppointed citizens, indignant that such a crime should have been com mitted scoured the woods of Ran dolph and Guilford last night in connection with the officers from both counties. Easter is the most ancient feast in observance. IS CHARGED WITH DOIBLE MCRDERj Young Mountaineer Goes on Trial For His Life in Yancey County. Asheville, March 24. Jonathan I Bennett, 25-years-oid mountaineer, i went on trial for his life in Yancey 'Superior Court this afternoon ill connection with the death ot two aged negroes, Mack His» nnd his wife, Mattie, whose bullet-pierced bodies were found in 1924 in their little cabin home where they had be friended Bennett, who was a fugi tive from justice. Excited crowds thronged the courthouse when the defendant was arraigned. The jury was selected from a special venire of au freehold ers of McDowell County, Many wit nesses are to testify and it is be lieved the case will occupy all of Thursday and perhaps Friday. Evidence tending to connect Ben nett with the killing of the aged negro couple is said to be largely circumstantial. It is claimed that he spent some time at the cabin of the negroes while he was “hiding out” as a fugitive from justice. Shortly after Bennett left the cabin, it is claimed, the bodies of the two negroes were found, nnd it was dis covered that a few hundred dollars, representing the savings of a life time tor the old couple, was missing. Ten bullets had pierced tne old ' THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE | man’s body nnd the woman had been shot onec. | Bennett, who spent sime time here in Buncombe County jail, is de scribed by the officers as a danger ous nnd desperate man. He is under sentences aggregating 19 years in the state’s prison, 14 years for homi cide and five years for alleged in timacy with a negro woman. The case has aroused widespread inter est through this section. Ten Indictee. Stanly News-Herald. Ten persons and business organi zations were indicted for usury in Winston-Salem last week. Most of .them were the kind usually known as “money lending sharks” It is hoped that they will be convicted and properly punished, if guilty. There is entirely too much of this reckless interest charging. It should be stopped. The law of this state pro vides that six per cent shall be the legal rate of interest, and forbids the charging of a greater rate. But there are maney money lenders who ignore this law and catch a fellow in finan cial straits and take advantage of the opportunity to extort a usurious interest rate out of him. Men should bh taught that this a violation of the law and will not be tolerated. An old belief waa that a babe born on Easter morning was likely to know neither want nor care. > t » .
