Lewis, a' young negro,- was fearfully, cut hT the neck, -and prob ably fatally wounded by Gaston Moore. Moore made his escape after , the. cut ting and at last accounts had not been apprehended." Lewis was carried 'to the James Walker Memorial Hospital in' the ambulance arid It is hardly be lieved that he will be able -'.to "survive the effects "of his horrible wound. : From the evidence in the matter as gained from v bystanders it appear that Moore did the cutting in self-defence and to protect himself.-' It seems that lie and Lewis were quarreling and the latter started at Moore. Moore retreated,- and Lewis struck him on the. head three times with a he"avy stick he is said to have had in his hand.f ' Moore broke into s. - run when he found that Lewis intended to strike him with the stick, and at the third blow the stick broke. Moore then had run a short distance, and it is stated he turned to' protect himself, drew his knife and made a lunge at his assail ant; The - weapon embedded itself in Lewis' : neck in the ; back, : and at' the base, of the head,-" and was ' brought around, to the middle of the throat in f ront,'lnfllctIng. a 'horrible r wound about two'iriches ""deep. Lewis" fell to the ground bleeding profusely, and, his as sailant hastily made his escape, going into Brunswick county "across the Hil ton bridge. : Information concerning the alterca tion was telephoned to Sheriff" S. P. Cowan at the court-house, and he summoned , Constable W. B. Savage, both going - to the scene of the affair with the county: bloodhound.- After an examination of the surroundings it was deemed useless to try .to trail the fleeing negro with the dog, and there fore no attempt was made to do so. On account of the nature of the wound received by Lewis, it is hardly probable that -he will, be able to re cover from its effects.
