The item yesterday about the great amount of sickness at Caraieigh nat urally attracts attention. The.

Council and J. D. Council left Apex with George Mills, white, who stands charged with the murder and attempted rape of his niece, Miss Iana Wimberly. The offi cers drove through the oountry and the reason they left at such an hour was that if Mills had remained there last night he would have been lynched. Mills is about 45 years of age, and is of a low order of intelligence. His eyesight is very poor and he is small in stature. His character is not good. Some years ago he was charged with an outrageous assault upon a white woman, his cousin, then married, and the proof of her bad character alone saved hi in. It is alleged that he has made several attompts of the kind at various times. Mills stayed a good deal at the home of his niece, Miss Iana Wimberly, who was a stoutly built and attractive young woman, 17 years old. They left the place, which is a little over four miles from Apex, about sunset Wednesday afternoon, to go to the house of Mr. John Jenks, a mile or so distant, after some flowers. Mills was next heard of about 2 o'clock that night, when he appeared at Mr. Wim- berljc-'s house. He aroused the family and tittis is in substance the tale he told: He s?id that as he and Miss Wim berly wenthlong they came near the old Vaughan,house, now vacant, and she propoftto go to the door and look in; that as they stood at the door, he on one side, she on the other, she was struck on tlfc head by some per son in the beuse and knocked into the house; btfti of them at the time stand ing outside the door; that he sprang back and'Sonie person said "Leave or I'll kilfyu." Another voice was then heard repeating the threat. He then ran and became lost in the woods, so it was late before he reached the girl's home. He said further that as he left the deserted house he heard Iana cry out "0, Lord, have mercy ! Don't kill me!" He says it was then dusk and that he wandered about for hours. He told the Wimberlys he reckoned Iana was at the Vaughan hous, dead; that somebody had certainly knocked her in the head. The Wimberly' s aroused their neigh bors and a party of eight went to the old Vaughan house. They found it in a freshly ploughed field, and there were plainly visible the footprints of a man and a woman leading to the door, while only the tracks of a man were found leading away from the house. About two feet inside the door lay Miss Wimberly. To all appear ances she was dead. Her head was literally beaten to pieces. Her temples were crushed in and there was i ghastly hole in the side of her head The entire rear of the skull was crushed and the brain was visible There were evidences of a struggle. On the floor were found the prints of five nails made by a footstep. It was found that Mills' shoe made just such an impression, having the five nails Just outside the door was found the instrument with which the poor young woman had been struck. It was a dog wood stick, forked, and on it was fresh blood. Drs. Moore, of Apex, and A. T. Cot ten, of Morrisville, were at once sum moned. They saw that there was no hope of saving the girl's life They removed some bone from the side of her skull. She never spoke, but occasionally moaned. It was evident that she had been struck several powerful blows. It was also clear that an attempt had been made to outrage her, but the physicians are of opinion that this did not succeed. Mills was yesterday afternoon taken before justices L. D. Bauoom and John Burns and given a" full hearing He went on the stand and his evidence was about like the story he told Peter Wimberly, the girl's father. The piece of wood with which she was struck was a harness rack which was on the wall of the deserted house. Hills has told several stories about the affair It was about 10 40 o'clock last night I when the deputies left with him. Soon after be was placed in jail he was made to rhange bis old clothing for ne. This was done to have the old clothing as evidence, as there is blond on it. The pockets are bloody, this being eaused by his handprints. It is said that Mills is weak minded. He said today in jail that if the guard 1 had let him go .by his home last night he would have got other clothes. lie was then told that if he had been taken there he would not have needed any clothes for he would have been lynched. At this he laughed and said "They can't get me now, can they ?" News reached here at 10 o'clock this morning of the death of Miss Wimber ly. A great deal of sympathy is ex pressed for her family.
