NEGRO IS
STABBED
Brought To Local Hospital In
Critical Condition—Names
Assaulters
Henry Scott, colored, who lives
about three miles from Halifax, miss
ed death by only a few inches last
Saturday night, when he was attack
ed by two other colored men while
walking to his home. One of the men
stabbed Scott with a knife, inflicting
a wound a few inches below the heart.
The wounded man is now' recovering
at the Roanoke Rapids hospital.
Scott is employed as a laborer at a
lumber mill operated at Scotland Neck
bv Mr. J. H. Hale.
The colored man said he visited
Halifax Saturday night and was
walking to his home at a late hour.
He said that after he had arrived a
short distance from the county seat
town, two men drov eup in an auto
mobile and jumped out. One of the
men, he stated, grabbed him and held
him while the other stabbed him with
a knife. After the assault, they left
him lying in the road.
Scott was found by a passerby, who
sssisted him to a comfortable resting
place. Jailer Hux at Halifax was I
called, and he removed Scott to the
Halifax county jail, where he was
rendered attention by a physician
who was called. Sunday he was re
moved to the hospital here.
Scott said his assailants were Hen
ry Lynch and Henderson Holliday,
both colored, who live near Halifax.
He said that Holliday held him while
Lynch stabbed him with the knife.
He stated he had not sworn out a war
innt for their arrest.
Asked the reason for the assault
upon him Scott replied that he did
not know. He said he had not had
»ny previous trouble with either of
he two men, and that he considered
hem his friends. He is under the im
•ression they followed him from Hali
ax to the spot in the country where
he attack took place. He said he
'card they had been arrested and
llaced in the jail at Halifax. Infor
mation to that erect could not be so
ured by thi- newspaper.

LIVED ALONE
DIES ALONE
Uncle Henry, 72 year old recluse
and hermit, who was a well known
Negro character around Halifav, is
no more.
He died as he spent the last 30
:■ ears of his life, alone. When his
body was found in the woods Sunday,
he had been dead for many hours.
It seems that Uncle Henry had a
phobia. A fear phobia. He lived in
constant dread of being poisoned or
done away with in some other way by
those around him. It is said that this
fear drove him to leave his wife some
30 years ago and live alone thereafter.
Her whereabouts are unknown today.
Saturday, the aged Negro went to
a store where he does most of his
trading on the other side of Halifax.
He bought a few groceries. He com
plained of a terrific misery in his
head. Later, a woman reported seeing
him travel a path into a nearby woods.
He was wringing his hands and moan
ing. That w&s the last time he was
seen alive.
Sunday morning, after many hours
search by friends, his body was found *
about 50 feet in the woods from the j
path he had been traveling. He had
evidently been in much pain before
death came. Cerebreal hemmorhage
was given as the cause.
Younger Negroes say that Uncle
Henry had several thousand dollars.
None of it was found on his person
or in his shack. When questioned fur
ther they said he had it buried in va
rious spots in the neighboring coun
try. If it be true, the secret of the
hiding places will be buried with
Uncle Henry in a pauper’s grave.

nem to Kannapolis, where the four

hey went to Concord. At Concord
hey remained for three nights. She
.i!d the boys provided for the ex
icnses on this trip.
More startling information in con
ction with the disappearance of the
iris was brought out in the Green
irl’s story, when she testified as to
he major reason for their leaving.
said she had been wanting to
*ave home for sometime; that she
as tired of slaying here and want
d to run away. She stated that two
•cal married women were laying
Ians to have their husbands, were
■oing to Charlotte, and asked the
Ireen and Harris girls to go away
ith them.
The two girls, according to an
rangements made, the Green girl tes
tified, were supposed to hitch-hi^e
their way to Charlotte on the night
of their disappearance, and the two
married women were to follow the
following Saturday. The girls, it
was planned were to get a wind-blown
bob as soon as possible upon their ar
rival in Charlotte, and to conceal their
identity as much as possible until they
were joined by the married women. It
is the theory here that after so much
exc^oment was stirred up over the
girls’ disappearance the two married
women abandoned their plans and re
mained at their homes here for fear
they would get mixed up in the affair.
Whitby was arrested here after lo
cal police were informed that he had
made the statement in the mill where
he works that he took two girls to
Charlotte on the night the two girls
disappeared. He toid the Green girl’s
father that he did not know his dau
ghter. Later, however, he told officers
he did know her. He denied that the
girls he took to Charlotte were the
same two that had disappeared.
In his original story Whitby did
not mention the name of the other
man in the car, but later told a police
rffieial that he was Tom Mitchell, of
Emporia, Va. Whether or not a war
rant has been sw<fri out for Mitchell's
arrest could not be ascertained.
The Green girl remains at her home
with her parents. Information se
cured by this newspaper is that the
Harris girl i? visiting in Greenville,
tut will return to thu county fr r
Whitby’s trial at the August term
>f the Halifax Superior court.
What ir.ducvroert th.r two ir.a. •<%
svomen offered the girls to run a> -'ay
