The Semi-Weekly Messenger (Wilmington NC) April 1, 1898
Indicted for Murder
(Special to The Messenger)
Raleigh NC, March 28 - Matters took a queer and sudden turn here tonight in the
case of Browning, the young farmer who last month shot and killed Strickland,
his old father-in-law, in this county. Browning directly after the killing came
here and put himself in the sheriff's hands, saying he had either to kill or be
killed. He was given a hearing last week, and admitted to bail in $500. The jury
tonight returned a true bill against him for murder in the first degree. The
bill as so drawn charged murder in the first degree, a very unusual procedure.
Browning was immediately arrested and put in jail without bail privileges.
