Warsaw, N.C., Sept. 6—The search for a man, reported to have attacked a prominent young woman near here last night, was practically abandoned early today when a doctor, who examined the woman, expressed the belief that she had suffered an hallucination, it was stated at the police department here this morning.
The young woman was heard to scream a few minutes after she had gone to the back porch to get a drink of water. She told those who came to her rescue that she had been attacked, but could not give a description of the man. A posse with bloodhounds was quickly organized and the surrounding country was searched until early today. No arrest was made.
