Headless and Footless Charred Body HerWeml at Albemarle. Albemarle, Nov. I.—The headless, footless and charred body of a white man lies today in a local undertaking parlor, with no evidences of its iden tity. The body was found on the old Mabry place, about two miles north of the city. All present evi dences and circumstances point to the fact that the man was murdered, ed, placed in the barn uud the barn set on fire. Sheriff Furr and his deputies have spent the day hi an attempt to learn something of the identity of the body ami some cine to the person or persons who committed the crime, if crime it is. The body presents noth ing hy which it may be. identified. The head is gone. Some- shells like hones may have been parts of the skull, the feet and- hands anil arms are gone. The bones of /both legs are severed just above the knees. Sheriff Furr, , who helped recover the hotly, says that in bis opinion the hotly was multilated and packed into some kind of container and car ied to the barn. At the knee, where the leg was bent, the flesh was not charred, and it was thus learned that the person was white. The body was found in the shed, where the heat could not have been so intense, it is said. No one ives on the farm but the owner of the barn states that the main barn was locked. No word lias come from any sec tion roundabout of any person be ing miming. No suspicion rests on any local person for having commit ted the crime. The only clue found by Sheriff Furr are footprints of some persons leading to the building from a nearby railroad, and the same footprints leading from the building across fields. But this gives no clue of the person making the footprints. The trunk, legs and stubs of arms indicate a body of a rather small man. All circumstances point to a ghastly murder, undertaken to be overed by arson. It is fated that the body wi’ he he'd a short time for possible identi fication. No improvement is reported today in the condition of Mrs. D. L. Plott who Is confined to her home on Mc- Gill Street by Illness.

A half dozen deputy sheriffs swelled the bodyguard. All were heavily armed. The ethod used in returning t'lo prisoners to the city was not disclos ed, but it was learned this morning that both Mansel and Neely were in the local jail. Mansel had been held at Charlotte and Neely was kept at Greensboro whence they were taken to thwart mob attacks. Judge Stack charged the grand jury this mrrning that it is to investigate the case wherein Neely is alleged to have attacked a woman in West Ashe vi'le section on Thursday, Actbber 22. A special venire was ordered for the trial of Mansel who was indicted sev eral weeks ago. As the crowd was readmitted no weap'hs were fSund. %ttsnr tturn a few' ! pocket knives of large size, which were confiscated by officers. In charging the grand jury Judge Stack s*‘d he intends to see thhf the defendants receive an impartial trial, If a defendant is found guilty wheu it is manifest to the court he is not guilty the verdict will be set aside, the jadge said. Judge Stack said the time has come when file law must assert itself, and no infringement up on the scope or dignity of the law wil' bo tolerated. The court ordered a special venire of 100 men from which the jury to try Mansel will be chosen. This jury is ordered to report in court at | 2:80 ]> m. Tuesday, at which time ! Mansel's trial is expected to open. | After the prisoners liad been ; brought into court this morning three j guardsmen seated themselves about the | negroes. Other troops were in the auditorium.
