Found unconscious on the Norfolk-Southern tracks near Knightdale Tom Murphy, colored, 18 years old, died yesterday morning in the St. Agnes Hospital. The boy ran away from home here Saturday night. He was thought to be suffering from fits. When found Monday morning he was lying on the track near Knightdale with an ugly wound in his head. He died without regaining consciousness and the cause of his death will probably never be known. It is thought that he was struck by a train.
