Raleigh, April 25—Governor McLean has ordered a special term of court at Carthage opening May 11 to try Wil Tyson, negro, accused of attempting to attack a young white girl near Carthage last Monday. The negro at present is confined to the state prison for safe keeping.

The Governor also has indicated that he will call a special term of Burke county court to convene at Morganton to try Arthur Montague, negro, who was placed in state prison last night for safekeeping after his arrest on a charge of attacking a young inmate of the deaf and dumb institute at Morganton. The attack is alleged to have occurred during Thursday night, the negro being captured early Friday morning while asleep in the child’s room. The negro had been employed as a waiter in the dining room of the institution.
