' SOLICITOR JOHN R. JONES SAYS CHILDRESS GIRL WAS MURDERED TO HOLD AUTOPSY. North Wilkesboro, Jan. 8 So licitor John R. Jones today count ed upon an autopsy and reports from handwriting experts \o prove his contention that Lcotri Childress, 18-year-old girl found mysteriously shot to death, was murdered and did not commit sui cide. The body of the girl, the solici tor announced, would be exhumed Wednesday to trace the course of a .22 rifle bullet which ended her life more than a week ago. Bv that time, he said, he also expect ed to have reports from experts on specimens of her handwriting. The solicitor also has sent spec imens of the penmanship of An drew Smoot, 27-year-old textile worker held in jail on a murder warrant sworn out by him, Smoot, who now lives in Schoolfield, Va., but who formerly resided near here, is described as the girl's erstwhile suitor. The girl was found shot to death in the home of her foster parents Mr. and Mrs. Warwick Tilley. A weird note found in her apron pocket said robbers had en tered the house .and .threatened te.-ed the house and threatened her life, and that she had refused to tell them where her foster father's money was hidden. Sheriff's officers had accepted a theory that the girl had killed her-self and written the note to make her death appear a murder when Solicitor Jones announced evidence indicated a suicide the ory as "out of the question" and swore to a warrant for Smoot's arrests. In advancing a theory of sui cide, the sheriff's officers said they had been informed that the girl had been disappointed be cause Smoot, who is estranged from his wife, had not obtained a promised divorce by Christmas. Smoot, quesioned by officers, said he was asleep in his father's home near here at the time the Childress girl was killed. RE-SALE OF VALUABLE REAL ESTATE.

Law n j eo pa id $2,175,- 000,000 In matured endowments, annuities, surrender values, div idends and interest to living policy holders, the largest amount of any year In their history. This sum compares with $2,156,000,000 in 1932 and is nearly twice as much as waa paid policyholders in 1929. Payments to widows, orphans and other beneficiaries of policyholders amounted to $925,000,000. "In making this Immense dlstrii> ution of money," Mr. Law said, "the life Insurance companies placed In the mail checks fpr an average of about $10,000,000 a day throughout the year. If we were to Include loans to policyholders, the daily average of payments would be still larger. "Two things enabled the institu tion of life insurance to make these unprecedented payments and at the same time increase their assets by more than a third of a billion dollars. "Ono of them Is sound manage ment. In the Interest of safety, the companies intentionally under estimate their earnings and over estimate the amounts they will bo called upon to pay in death benefits. That leaves n margin of safety to meet unusual demands such as those of 1933. "The other is the very nature of life Insurance. The constant flow of premiums 83 well as raceipts from investments is r-ufflcient to permit these gigantic payments without forcing the sale of ••ecur ities. Not only that, b-;i. even in 1933, the companies were alio to add a third of n bi;!!on doltv.rs to their assets which 10./; auftra t'aan ?21,OOi),OOD,OO n ."
