JONES: A PROBABLE MURDER
An old man named JONES, lately living at Strickland's Depot, Duplin County,
died one or two evenings since in a house in the lower part of this town, as
we are informed, and his remains were placed in a coffin and carried to his
place of residence above, where the coffin was opened and the appearance of
the corpse was such as to justify the belief that the deceased had come to his
death by violence, whereupon the body was brought back to this place, and an
inquest will be held over it today. -- Wilmington Herald
