UNIVERSITY STUDENT KILLED.
Graphic Acconit of Fatal Hazinj at
university.
(By E. B. Jeffress in Greens
bor6 News.)
Chapel Hill, Sept. 13. Isaac
William Rand, aged 20 years, son
Of 0. R. Rand, nf
it .
J IIIAtllll V1U
member of the Prchmon a1oc P
- W - U !,, VlUdO Vl
the University of North Carolina,
is dead and four sophomores.
A. H. Styron, of Wilmington; W.
L, Merrimon, of Wilmington; R.
W.Oldham, of Raleigh, and A.
C. Hatch, of Mt. Olive, are under
arrest at Pickard's hotel here to
night charged with manslaugh
ter. The sensational affair, which
has stirred staid old Chapel Hill
as nothing has in many years, is
the outcome of a hazing jaunt or
little joy party of the sophomores
in the early morning of J Friday,
the 13th.
The coroner's inquest, with
Magistrate Barbee presiding,
Solicitor Gattis, representing the
State, and Victor Bryant, of Dur
ham representing the University,
lasted until nearly nightfall. It
did not take the jury long to de
cide what it wanted to decide but
more than two hoars vvere ne
cessary to say ir. the verdict just
what they thought fitted the case.
Tragic, Gruesome Death.
The tragic, gruesome death of
young Rand, the most promising
of a bright family of boys, is due
direqtly to ths old system of haz
ing which for years has existed in
colleges and likewise which for
years the public has been assur
ed semi-annually, at least, that it
had been stamped out for all
time.
The sophomores, according to
the reliable evidence, have mis
year been a little more boisterous
than for a year or so in the past,
this disorder becoming so great
last Sunday night from firing
pistols, etc., that residents could
not sleep. During the early
hours last night a few of the boys
decided to have a little special ex
hibition and going to the room of
Rand, dragged hfm and his room
mate, Robert A, Wellons, also of
Smithfield, from their beds, alow
ed their petition to put on their
shoes and while in their night
clothes they were hustled to the
athletic field where they were put
through a series of stunts,
jmg nome, aweei nome, uamn
it c 1 ii n
You."
Near ihe old entrance to the
athletic field the hazing party
found an old oil barrel which had
been used for liming the athletic
field and Wellons was placed on
the barrel. He got through his
stunts without serious mishap.
Rand's time came next. Uncon
scious of the short time of his
life, the youth was hoisted to the
barrel and shivering in his night
clothes, was told to sing. He
said he could not. 4 'Sing Home,
Sweet Home, then damn you,"
shouted one of the masked men.
"I cannot sing," replied Rand
"We will make you sing,"
came the retort from the1 sopho
more who lighted his flash light
and gave the barrel a push. The
barrel upturned, Rand's feet went
forward and his head backward
to the ground. One old bottle
was lying near the barrel and
when the boy fell the side of his
neck struck this bottle and a gash
more than an inch deep - and ex
tending from his ear to throat
was made.
Deserted Their "IVictim,
'I havrTOOTisaid bne of
the ' mob Whb'iain -flashed
his'
light.
Yes,
you have killed him,"
replied Wellons.
The member of the mob then
hastened to pick up the dying boy
and carried him to the gymnas
ium, a short distance- away, whert
they lajd him on a plank and un
der the pretext of. seeking medir
cal aid deserted the dying boy to
the lone care of his room mate;
Wellons' frantic cries for aid
soon brought A. R. Parsley, a
student and the college began to
be aroused.
But Rand's bright life was
gone. He never spoke a word
after being kicked from the barrel
nor did it take long for ' his life
blood to stream out.
In the excitement young Wel
lons, who is a son of J. A. Wel
lons, of Smithfield, best known
to Nonh Carolina as a good roads
"crank," recognized one or two
of the boys and gave clues upon
which and officer from Durham
aided by the Chapel Hill force
found out four who were arrest
ed, thouglj not formerly charged
with the crime until after the in
quest.
The Coroner's Jury Verdict.
The official verdict of the cor
oner's jufy is, "The jury finds
that Isaac William Rand, of
Smithfield, came to his death
from a cut on the throat caused
by a fall from a barrel while
forced to dance on the barrel by
a party of hazers and the jury
recommends that Ralph W. Okk
ham, of 'Raleigh; C L. Merri
man, of Wilmington; A. C. Hatch,
of Mt. Olive, and Arthur H. Sty
ron, of Wilmington, be held for
investigation by the grand jury
of Orange county." The solici
tor fixed the bond at $5,000.
Third Death From Hazing.
At the inquest today there did
not seem to be much doubt that
the barrel was kicked over while
Rand was standing on it but the
one who did the kicking was not
settled upon. Wellons would not
swear positively that the barrel
was kicked over but knew some
thing happened to his room mate
just as the flash light was extin
guished. This is the third death from
hazing in the history of the uni
versity according to old resi-
"V.
dents. A man named Pries was
killed many years ago and ihere
was another death but none so
tragic as this.
