Salisbury, March 4—A negro supposed to be Charlie Correll of Salisbury, was killed in an affray at Lynchburg, Va., yesterday. He was identified as Correll by a man who viewed his clothing but did not see the dead body.
Relatives here, when informed of the death, asked that the body be sent to a Salisbury negro undertaking firm. When the body arrived today and was viewed by the sisters of Correll, it was found to be the body of someone else and not Correll. The local undertakers are trying to get the tangle straightened out so disposition can be made of the body.
