awaits trial. It is understood that
he has retained Moody and Moody to
defend him.
I: will he remembered that Waldroup
is alleged to have shot and
killed Sam Burgess in the Unaka

It appears that W'aldroup and Burgess
became estranged over the matter of
the disposal of some liquor the two

th" public road near Unaka and began
shooting at one another. Wnldroup
himself bcinjr shot three times
and seriously wounded.
Waldroup made good his getaway.

Graham County, where he lived for
about two years. He later went to
M\ Ho'.lv. vhere h reraa* nod under
the name of James Stewart until apprehended.
Sheriff Morrow stated
that the officers of Mt. Holly were
