Goldsboro, N.C., Jan. 29—Andrew Clark, negro, died in a hospital early today from gunshot wounds received yesterday when he attempted to escape from a posse after being charged with stealing an automobile and 135 revolvers from Camp Bragg at Fayetteville, N.C.
On his deathbed Clark made full confession, according to deputy sheriffs, that he and three white men stole the automobile.
Clark was captured in Duplin county and escaped yesterday from the jail in Kenanville. He was hunted and captured by a posse late yesterday and it was while attempting to escape that he was shot.
