Found By Brother and Com

Near Her Home
NO CHANCE OF RECOVERY
Morganton. June 22. ? The sheriff's
of ice here early today received a re
port that a Neyro believed, to be
Broadus Miller, nought, in connection
with an attack upon a young white
girl here late yesterday, had -been sur
rounded tn a thickly wooded section
a tew miles from this city in -the vK
^ cinity. of . Asiibiisy Road.
More than 2.000 citizens, many
armed; were closing in on the place
believed to be the . Negro's hiding
place. Among them was the . brother
of the girl.
Physicians hold out no hope for
the victim, who lies in a local hospi
tal with a crushed skull at the point,
of death. ? ?
No assault was committed lipori.
the girl further than tlip blow, with
some heavy instrument which
crushed her skull like an egg shell.
The theory is that the Negro at
tempted to force ? the to submit
to him and that when -vARistgd he
struck her with a heavy stick or
other object. '
Miss Kincaid Worked for the Gar-''
rori Hosiery Mill and was On her w-a.v"
home after the" Uay's work wheir. at
tacked. When she failed to -arrive at
tlie usual hour, search was instituted.
Her brother and a companion in go
ing alongr the road which she usually
traversed in going to and from -her
work, heard groans as they passed
along. Ooing a short* distance ihto
the woods" from the road Ihey found
her with what is expected to prove
a mortal wound on her head. She
was unconscious and had not re
gained consciousness tonight. Phy
sicians at Grace hospital where she
was carried said that she could hard
