Frank Bryan, negro, wanted for the murder of James Leathers, a member of his race, was still at large last night with county officers continuing the hunt in an effort to determine his whereabouts and place him under arrest. Leathers was cut to death Friday morning at a highway construction camp on Neuse River in the northern part of the county. Bryan, who had a big jump on officers, nothing being known of the affair until the injured negro had been brought to the hospital here, was believed to have gone in the Creedmoor direction although a careful combing of that part of Granville failed to determine his whereabouts.
