SOME MIX-UP, BELIEVED
Allecred Lyncher Had Not
Skipped But Left for Ke
nansville Today Settle
ment Made, Reported By
a Lawyer ,
A telegram from Kenansville
via another point today stated
that the "Stocks matter has been
arranged.. Court has adjourned."
The message came from H. D.
Williams, a lawyer, to a Stocks
bondsman.
An attempt to query Kenans- s
ville from here by telegraph this
afternoon was not successful.
' Telephone lines from there to
other places are out of commis
sion as the result of a storm.
Stocks, it Is learned from i re
liable source, left Snow Hill this
morning at 2 a. m. 1 He prob
ably has not arrived at Kenans
ville yet.
Lawyer Williams said he would
give details in a letter, which Is
not expected to reach here before
Monday.
Heports received here and at Snow
Hill Friday night from Kenansvillo
said Samuel Stocks, the alleged
lyncher who was..A,..ordBodL,JJi8lil.Jii
$10,000 bail at the conclusion of an
investigation into the shooting to
death of Joe Black held, here several
weeks ago. had failed to show up
when called fcr trial in Duplin coun
ty superior court and forfeited the
heavy bond" signed by more than 40
Kinston and Lenoir county men. li
was impossible to. git into communi
cation with KeiransvilleJ which place
has very limited communication fa-;
cilities. Snow Hill lawyers tele-,
phoned here and . wanted to know
something about the matter, but the
only intelligence that had been had
here was a telegram, similar to one
received in fhe Greene county seat,
saying that vjhen Stocks was called
he was absent and that the bond had
been declared forfeited. The tele
grams had been despatched from a
station some miles from Kenansville;
that town has no office.
Lawyers here today thought there
must be some mistake, or at least
that if Stocks could show any good
Treason for not being present the bond
money would not be confiscated.
There have been two stories about the
Greene county man being sent home
by Solicitor Shaw on Monday: one
account said he was told to stay at
home "until sent for," another, and
perhaps the most reliable, that he had
been told to report back on Thurs
day. Tt was thought this morning
that the man irripht have started
back to Kenansville and been delayed
somewhere; means of .travel in the
section south of here are as uncertain
now as the telephone service into
Kenansvilfo. In the lai.er event,
ltgal. men think, . the state would not
be apt to seize the bail. 'Stocks is the
tenant of a reliable Greene1, rounty
planter, and the latter would make
every effort to get him to trial, per
sons Intimate with the matter say;
the landlord's actions in the jiast
would indicate that much. ,
So far as Kinston Is 'concerned,
Kenansville migit as well be in an
other country instead of in an .ad
joining county., Ones during the week
on. , Tuesday Solicitor's Shaw's
voice has been heard here from the1
Kenansvillo end of a telephone line,
as long as from hero to the moun
tains, -nearly, the connection being
built up via Wilmington and other
points in ' the southeast. Not .ten
words of what the solicitor said
could fco understood. . , Wliat , was
heard was to the effect that no case
would be called until after Wednes-;
day in Duplin court. - 1
