Reidsville, Nov. 13—John Nunally, negro, who was arrested Wednesday following the finding of the skeleton of a woman in the woods on the Stokes farm about two miles northwest of Reidsville by H.C. Summers and Jesse Talley while possum hunting Tuesday night, is still held by the local authorities for further investigation. He is the husband of the negress whose skeleton was found.
According to reports going the rounds, the negress disappeared about the middle of August and it was thought in the neighborhood that she had left her husband and disappeared to parts unknown, the two not getting along well together, according to reports. Her disappearance caused no excitement among her acquaintances and the matter had practically been regarded as an accepted fact, that the woman had gone elsewhere to live.
Nunally has made no statement concerning the matter since his arrest, further than that his wife left about the middle of August and had never returned. No legal action has been brought against him or any time set for a preliminary hearing, should a charge be preferred. In the meantime, the officers are working on the case and trying to solve the mystery.
