Temple Peace Confesses to Attacking Girl Near Carthage, May 2, 1925

Say Negro Confessed to Attack on Girl. . . Temple Peace Is said to Have Confessed That He Attacked Girl Near Carthage

By the Associated Press

Raleigh, May 2—Temple Peace, negro, of Moore county, was lodged in the state prison here today on charge of attacking a white girl near Carthage about two weeks ago. The state prison authorities say they were informed the negro had confessed to the crime.

Two other negroes are in the state prison as suspects in the case which aroused much excitement in Moore county. Governor McLean has named the date for a special term of court to try the two negroes, but in the face of the confession of Peace and the absence of the governor from this city today, it was not known what course would be pursued. It was believed, however, that Peace would face trial at the same term.
