Slayer of Manly Hatch Has
Fallen Into Law's Hands
At Last, Reported How
lie Escaped After Crime
Recalled
If Alfred Lynch has been caught
in New York it was since this
morning, according to Sheriff
Taylor, who has just returned
from there. The Sheriff took
with him a man who declared he
had seen Lynch within a month
and talked with him. He gave
the address, etc Arriving in
New York the two went to the
detective bureau, where plain
clothesmen "made a monkey" out
of the Sheriff's companion. They
said there was no such address.
Sheriff Taylor spent two days
with the man, who seemed never
to be able to locate the place
where he saw Lynch. The Sher
iff left the man there, and this
morning was in communication
with the detective bureau, the
latter. laconically stating that the
Kinston detective was in need of
funds. The Sheriff evidently was,,
tempted to wire the New York
headquarters to try to rake up
some charge on which to jail his
erstwhile sleuth, and keep him
there. 1. '
Information was had at New Born
Wednesday, according to the Sun
Journal of that city, that Alfred
Lynch, colored, who murdered Manly
Hatch, a white commissary clerk, at
a lumber camp near Richlands a cou
ple of years ago. had been captured
in New York and would be returned
to North Carolina.
Lynch murdered the white man for
money. He hired an automobile and
drove to Kinston. He motored down
Queen street and stopped a few min
utes to talk with acquaintances. The
police were notified of the' murder
and that Lynch was. supposed to be
here or on his waj to Kinston. Lync
escaped in a. race with officers in an
automobile. Later his brother was
arrested by the New York police by
aniatake.

overflowing practically every stream
in North Carolina East of Raleigh
following tho floods upstate have
i
ceased, and (there is prospect of
bright weather over the section.
However, the flood danger has not
abated, in the opinion of some. The
slow rise hero now does not indicate
that the trouble Is over, for the
stream is spreading out in the low
grounds. Most of the water in th
river at this poinfc is termed as local,
while the bulk of the flood waters
from the Raleigh and Smitkfield sec
tions is to arrive later in the week,
according to Weather Observer H. C.
V. Peebles. "We may not have as
much of a flood as in 1908," Mr. Pee
bites said this morning, "but we are
gotyg to have a 'big river,' neverthe
less." . -'
iReports from all parts' of the
Neuse valley tell of bridges washed
out. In Greene county a bridge over
the Moccasin riwr is said to have
gone down Wednesday. Mayor , Fred.
Sutton, back from a trip info Duplin
county, reports that 1 three bridges
over Northeast' river were , awash
when his party crossed the stream
several days ago. They got across
on a fourth bridge, which afterward
was closed. Coming home, the. party
motored to a point on the Atlantic
Coast Line, where they left their nva
chine, making the rest of the trip by
train. : '
Railroad traffic throughout East
Carolina is nearer normal today than
in a week. Trains are running about
on echodulo everywhere.
Damage to crops is placed a about
15 per cent, by a number of estim
ates. Cotton suffered principally.
STOCKS WAS ORDERED

BACK TO DUPLIN TODAY
Samuel Stocks was to return to
Kenansvillo today to stand trial for
cbmplicity in the lynching of Joseph
Black. It is now ' understood that
when Solicitor Shaw told the Grecno
county man to return home early in
the week, he also told him to report
again on Thursday. However, this
does not moan that Stocks will be
tried during the term, which expires
Saturday, in the opinion of local law
