Raleigh, Dec. 26—Two killings and an alleged incendiary burning of a home took place in and near Raleigh Sunday and yesterday.
Manchester Debman, an 8-year-old negro boy, tried to aid his father in putting a negro out of his store and received a load of buckshot in the breast and died instantly. Joe Stephenson is in the Wake county jail charged with the murder of the boy.
The second slaying occurred Sunday afternoon at Caraleigh village, near here, when John McNally shot and killed Joseph Upchurch following an argument over a dice game, according to the police. McNally was arrested on a charge of murder.
James Perry, a farmer living in Cary township, reported to county authorities that someone set fire to his home during Christmas night. The house was completely destroyed. No arrests have been made in the case.
