THE BLACK FIEKD COT HER THROAT After the Outrage and Put the Body in ; a 8ack to Hide the Crime. He Was ' Lynched Last Night. ' One of the most atrocious outrages tn tbe annals of eastern Carolina occurred in Halifax yesterday after noon when 13-year-old Maty Jenkins was brutally assaulted and murdered by Manna Porter, a 25-year-old black brute ln human guise. . Porter was stable boy for Miss Jen kins'' family and when she went to the barn yard yesterday afternoon to gather eggs, he accosted her in the stable with indecent proposals, which she indignantly rejected He then accomplished his fiendish purpose and cut her throat with a pocket knife and put the body in a sack and hid it In the stable and locking the door put the key in his pocket and left the place. It Is thought his intentions were to take the body to' the river after night fall and in that way hide his crime. The body was discovered about five O'clock yesterday afternoon by Miss Jenkins' younger sister and an indig nant populace, with the Instinct of a sleuth hound traced link by link tbe chain that fixed beyond doubt the crime on Porter and he was arrested. Blood was found on his hands and hair from the glrTa head on his clothes and the bloody knife found at the scene of the double crime was identified as belonging to Porter. These circumstances and the fact of his connection, with the stables and having the key in his pocket assured the captor of his guilt. ' - : The deed was done in Halifax, near the court house and was perpetrated on a member of one of the most highly respectable families in the county. i Last night about midnight a band of men went to Halifax and taking Porter out made short shrift of him, riddling his body with bullets. , The mob was composed of men from nearby towns who pressed the engines of the Coast Line into service to take them to the place where Porter was!;' It Mn said that men were there from Wei- don, Enfield and Scotland Neck, be sides others from around Halifax.
