TOO MUCH CORN LIQUOR.
.fatal Result of Ttkinguyi Oredose on
'Banter.
GoldJ.ooro, Feb. 21; Alex
ander tile Great, on a banter,
drank too nuch wine and died
in consequence of'his rash ac
And now comes a simple country
negro girl, Ella Best, 15 years
old; wfio came to Golbsboro las
Thursday in company with her
brother-in-law Joe Smith, from
their home in New Hope town
ship, and while here Joe bough
some corn whiskey and return
ins: home bantered her that he
could drink more then she
could. Friday mornig Ella was
found dead in her bed. Her
sister,- Joe's wife, gave Joe $20
to come to Goldsboro Friday to
buy a coffin, for Ella, aud Joe
has not since been seen, and it
is supposed that he took fright
at the fatal consequence of his
Danter and concluded, with $20
'in hand, to '-burn the wind."
w As night came on and Joe did
not materialize with the coffin,
old man Luke Best, the dead
girl's grandfather, began to be
suspicious Joe's wife not hav
ing said a word about the banter,
or the presence even of whiskey
in the house and early Satur
day morning he came to the city
and consulted a lawTver. The
lawyer referred the matter to
the coroner and yesterday
morning Di Thos. Hill, the
coroner, summoned a jury and
held an autopsy; and the post
mortem revealed a large
quantity of whiskey, about a
pint, in the dead girl's stomach;
and not till then did Joe's wife,
Ella's sister, tell of the banter
between Joe and Ella, which she
said was without thought of
harm or fatal consequences.
The iurv rendered a verdict
that death was due to her owr
act in drinknig an over quan
tity of corn whiskey.
