A human skeleton found In a
thicket In the Alert Community

o'clock In a field on a farm
owned by County Accountant
Lee Murray and operated by
Willie Carter, Negro tenant.
Powell was on a routine In
vestigation In answer to a com
plaint concerning the manfac
ture of "home brew," when he
came upon th.e skull.
The torso skeleton was found
In a dense wooded area a short
distance away by searchers 1
Tuesday morning. Officers ..
theorized that a dog must have I
brought the skull from the |
thicket to the field where it |
was found. Clothing was found
In the thicket, leading to the
Identification.
Dunston, who was born In
Philadelphia, Pa. and had been
residing in New Jersey was
reportedly on a visit to the
home of his mother, Ethel Susie
Dunston, who lives about two
miles from where the body was]
found. Walter Stokes, a tenant
on the Dunston farm, said It
had been about two months since
he had seen Willie Lee Dunston".
He said his mother thought
Dunston had returned to New
Jersey.

from the SBI are expected in |
a day or two and until he had
seen these reports he could not
say whether or not any foul
play was connected with the
death of Dunston,
The scene of the area where
the skeleton was found and be
lieved to be the place where
Dunston died or was killed, is
about fifty yards off State Rilral

Speed lopped Moss by 118 n*M
in the primary on June 30.
Moss led in five precincts and
Speed led In five. The third
candidate, Norrls W. Collins
?f Frankllnton, carried only
his home precinct.
Collins' si* hundred plus votes
In Frankllnton and his 141 In
YoungsvlUe, Moss' home pre
cinct, have been the key prize
sought by both Moss and Speed
In their campaigning In the
past few weeks
Moss, somewhat surprisingly
took the largest precinct In the
County, Lou Is burg, by 51 votes.
Speed owns and operates a to
bacco warehouse In Loulsburg.
Speed's big majorities came
from Cedar Rock, Gold Mine
and Sandy Creek precincts.
Speed is running on his re
?cord and experience In the 1961,
1963 and the Special Sessions of
the Legislature. Moss Is run
ning on his farming ability and
his prominent position In farm
ing and civic circles In this
area. Both have made public
statements, each declaring that
he could best serve the citizens
and their Interests In Franklin
County.
In the ^gubernatorial race,
county Lake leaders have Joined
forces with the Dan Moore group
publicly. Lake's campaign
manager, Walter Long, recently
toured the county on the Dan
Moore chartered bus.
Wallace Tlppett, Moore's
local manager has expressed
confidence that his man will
carry the county In the second
primary. Roger Mitchell, Rich
ardson Preyer's campaign
manager Is equally certain mat
many Lake people have switched
to his candidate. Preyer led
I Moore In Franklin County In the
first primary, but Dr. I. Be
verly Lake carried the county
by a wide majority.
In the race for Lt. Governor,
Robert Scott, of Haw River,
son of former Governor and
Senator Kerr Scott carried
Franklin County In the first
primary. The second place
man, Cliff Blue of Aberdeen
a newspaper publisher and eigh
teen year veteran of the General
Assembly, called for the second
primary run-off.
Blue has been gaining ground
on Scott locally in the past
few days, due mpstely to a
stepped up campaign by local
political leaders. Hue, says
E. C. Bulluck, local manager,
is the best qualified. He re
ferred to the fact that the Lt.
Governor presides over the
state senate and as such makes
Important committee appoint
ments, and to Blue's many years
of legislative experience. Scott,
a dairyman, has not mustered
Blue's experience, but managed
to poll a majority of 857 votes
In Franklin County on June 30.
