" - i I As cold-blooded a murder as could easli b Imajrined came to light yes-' terdaynforning shortly after; tho vic tim, JDavtd lwis, an old colored man died at hus home six miles north of the olty.n the vicinity of Newells. With three' axe wounds in hla head and, an e'i'jal number In the pit of his stomach he lived from o'elick Saturday evening until 9 yesterday morning.' The murderer. Henry Mc Jlweny, up to last night had eluded- canture but Harrison Hrown, a yei low negro who says he came from Wyoming, and Joe Hayes, another nearo. are locked up charged with bein accessories after the fact. - The first news of the killing, which occurred on the Douglaa Orr place, came In a telephone message io ma city yesterday morning about' 10 o'clitck. At oW-e Hhei iff N. W. Wal lace. Chief of Police T. M. Christen bury and Officers Mosteller .and J. D. Johnson set out for the scene. As. a reult of Ihe Investigation the facta were-brought to light clearly and ap parently there should be littlo diffi culty In convicting the man if he la captured. Old man Dave Lewis, It seems. drove up to his home On a load of wood Saturday afternoon. McTlweny walked out to meet him, picked up a t-pound axe and struck him on the head. The Injured man tumbled over on the woodpile In n heap. The wlelder of the axe continued to rain blows upon him until satisfied, that hV had -made a complete Job. In the meantime Iura Lew4a, the wife of the man attacked, came running out. Mclhveny asked, her If she needed any wood. --Then with consummate and inhuman nerve, while hla victim's life blood .ebbed, away, he proceeded to cut her enough wood to list awhile and walked off. as if he had discharg ed his own obligations. The other witnesses of the' killing were Ttossle Cureton, a colored boy, and Thomas Lewis. In the pitch black darkness of early morn, drawn by the Irresistible Im pulse of tho Criminal to re-vlsit the place of his crime, Mcllweny slipped back to the home of Lewis at I o'clock to see what had been the out come of his hard-hit blows. He did not come alone, but brought Harrison Brown with him as a protection against danger which might be lurk ing. When the house waa neared, his nerve failed ar.d he went no closer, slopping In the road and sending Brown- to niuko the Investi gation. The door was barred. Against It unsuccessfully tho negro hurled his strength, but 'Was forced to retire with hla object unaccomplished. OFFICERS (JET BCHV. When Brown left the Lewis home he. repaired to that of Joo Hayes. There he met Mcllweny and together tliey there spnt the night. Early in the morning Hayes hitched 'up his turnout, the murderer climbed In, the horses were 'bade proceed nnd the taw-vlolatlng act of Ha yea had reached its second stage. Not only had he shielded the assailant who was soon tii become a murderer, but was taking him, out! of 'harm's, wuy. He banuxht him to the casket fac tory, near the Seaboard road, north of tlie city. M'-Ilweny leaped out and jHayes returned to his home. in. me meantime, nowever. inings had been happening of which they wot not. The sheriff's party wns on Its way to the country and hefore Ha'es reached his home on the re turn trip the posse had taken Harri son mown in tow unn sent mm duck to ton In the safe guardianship of Kllcera Jihnson and Mosteller. The sheriff and the chief of police got on he trail of H.i yes' buggy and these wo Invincible sleuths traced the vo- hrie to the casket factory. They re. turned to headn'Jrter nnd sent out the same two officers after Hayes and be WD4 accorded the compliment of a free ride to town, from his home. THE MOTIVE. 1 The motive for 1he murder fits in rl with t'ie rest of this rather un iical tale. .Mcllweny Is a mean negro and sn:rtc time ago served two terms -f 30 d i.vs each on the county roads. I t'srt of this was for contempt of '""riuleti IJIIlon's court, where his con. lit-t ws beyond the psle.

Lewis Tve the convict's wife a home and irotectlon. This It was which nrotis "d the demon of jealousy within Mc Mweny's primitive breast. David t.cwl was n man of STi or o eirs of age. He bore a good reputation as on honest and hard worMim negro. There was no one ave a child with him. it seems, when khe died, the sheriff's part" Uniting the dace almost deserteii. further than he fact that he was tra -ed to Char lotte, the whereabouts of Mcllweny is not known.

Mr. C. D. Harris, of Raleigh, rad uate manager of the A. & 3i- College Athletic Association, and himself an athlete of renown, ia spending atv- eral days in tha city with friends. As an alumnus of the college with which he 'la now connected and one who has always manifested the keene-st Inter trst in etato athletics. Mr. Harna is perhaps better qualified to speak with authority on matters pertaining to bis own institution than any otner indi vidual.' The t rise ha 11 season is at hand and speculation Is rife as to the showinr the different collegers wim 1 make this spring. Relative to the a & M. College. Mr. Harris had the following to say yesterday: ; ATHLETIC INTEREST GENERAL. "Never before In the history of the A. A M. Colleam has there been so much and so wide an Interest mani fested In the cause of athletics at the present- time. This Is Jua In large measure to the unusually strong football team which was turned out last fall find the flattering prospscts which are being- he'd forth this spring for one of the fastest baseball nines ever developed by a Southern college This Interest wvas reflected at a re- rent meeting of tho advisory commit tee of athleti-ca at A. & M. when the splendid sum of $4,600 was appro priated for the use of the - baseball team during the spring. This In eludes the salary of the coach but the rest will be spent In outfitting the team. For tho first time the players will-"be furnlshe.d with nice flannel coats. The equipment will consist of the very best . material that money can . procure. Fourteen men will compose the first squad. - BASEBALL. PROSPECTS. The prospects for a fast team were never brighter. Fox, who waa con slderej one of the best first basemen In the Houth last season, will be back again as will Farmer who will play third base. Frank Thompson, cap tain, will go from behind the bat to the outfield aad will direct the team from that posltkm. His old place be hind the bat will be supplied by Abernethy and Slefort. two young sters of much -promise. Harris will play centrerield again, and when necessary Will be ued In the box The slalT artiste will be Sexton. Cllrie. Stroud and Smith. For short stop, a new man will have to be developed and the chances now favor Lambeth a brother of' Harvey Lambeth, "of Charlotte, who Is recalled as an old f'aro'lna star. Young Lambeth hns his brother's keen eye and fleetness and gives promise of developing into a first rato tlayer. Second bao will also be turned 'over to a new man. Couch, manager of last season s champion football team. Is' the most promising candidate. He would have made the tho team last spring but was prevented by reason of sickness. For tho other outfield, a, lot of fresh men are having a lively scrap and no one knows who will be chosen. As a whole the team gives abun .Vmt promise of success, tho elements being properly mixed, and nothing so far as the management knows Is wonting. : COACH MICHIE - tVHITEHURST. The fortune of a college team de pends In large trVasure upon tho sort of training, and Wactice It receives. Everybody at theA. & M., and in Raleigh Is delighted with the news thut iMIchle Whltehurst will a,raln sitecr A. & M. athletfcs. He has beon given the contract for baseball and football fi-r 1808 and Is probably the highest salaried coach In tho South. Hoi will have spring football practice along with the baseball, .practice. Coach 'Whltehurst la a clean, manly and gonliemanly manager and has won the esteem and a J miration of nil Ihe students tiid eltlncri of Raleigh by his icnn work with the past sea son's football team. No mention need be made of the schedule which was published this morning, other than to say that It Is the best that has ever been arranged by tho A. & M. athletic board of con trol. This was done In anticipation f the strrnj team which Is going to be developed nnd was made possible by reason of the prominence of A. & M. College obtained last Thanksgiv ing Day when she defeated the Uni versity of Irglnla at Norfolk. Va. The A. & M. Is the only college In the Slnte that 'Iras a aame with Princeton University and this game considered the most Important on the schedule. Princeton play, only two Southern institution this spring, the University of Virginia, and the A. M. College. The other Impor tant games which will attract atten tion are those with Cornell. Dart mouth. Navy, tleorgetown. Lafayette, Villa Nova. Colgate snd the Univer sity of L-Miislap.-t. Many of these teams huve never played In North Carolina before, nincmir the number beln I'hirtmoulh, Colgate. Villa Navo. Kentucky State Col'ee and the University of Louisiana.

If the present plans mature, the people of North Carolina will have the op- Ixirtuniiy of witnessing a game with one of tho most powerful Eastern Universities on Thursday of tho State fair. ThA..- Davidson-A- &- M- game . has been definitely decided to be played In Charlotte. The people of Raleigh clamored for thl gamo In the capi tal city but the A. & At. management erruled their protest and gave the flinn to the Queen City, ' believing thut the li'wn would turn out In full force to sec It.
