Arthur Montague Accused of Crime Against 12-Year-Old, April 27, 1925

Negro Commits Horrible Crime on Child

Morganton, April 24—A horrible crime was perpetrated on a little 12-year-old deaf girls at the school for the deaf here this morning by Arthur Montague, a negro employe of the school, who was found about 6 o’clock asleep in the bed which had been occupied by the child. The negro was immediately place in the county jail but excitement became so tense the officials thought it wise, out of an abundance of precaution, to remove him to another county for safe keeping. Sheriff Michaux hurried him off to Catawba county but later information is that Solicitor Huffman ordered him taken to Raleigh.
