A coroner’s jury was empanelled Tuesday afternoon by Coroner Frank Hovis to investigate the death of Della Logan, a young negro girl near Pineville, who died after having been stabbed with a knife by Mary Darby, a girl schoolmate of about the same age.
The verdict of the jury was that the Logan girl came to her death by knife wounds inflicted by Mary Darby. The evidence was to the effect that, as the two girls were going home from school, the Logan girl stepped on the other’s foot. She a moment later repeated this and the Darby girl stabbed her.
The jury was composed of J.C. Darnell, E.S. DeLaney, K.B. Crandall, J.S. Turner, C.G. Eping and R.B. Johnston.
