Abstract:

In Nov. 1879, W. B. Paramour (Paramore), was arrested for burning his own store in a building owned by Miss Eveline Nelson in Chicod twsp., Pitt County. It was thought he burned it to allay suspicion on him for burning Mr. J. J. Laughinghouse’s property. Paramore was also arrested for hiring John Campbell to put strychnine in Mr. Laughinghouse’s well. Upon giving a mortgage on $6,000 worth of property to make his appearance at next court, Paramore was released.
