HIQH POINT PHYSICIAN :
' , -AND WITS JAILED.
Caused Death of Young Lady
on
. Account of Qegal Operation. -One
of the saddest' tragedies that
have ever occurred there . hap
pened in High Point Saturday night
when a young girl by the name of
Bessie Thomas son,' of Statesville, died
at the home of Dr. W. L. Vestal, on
account of an illegal operation which
had been performed by Dr. W. L. Ves
tal last Tuesday night i '
The- police were notified about the
-condition of the young girl just
short time before she died and iwhcn
they arrived at the home of Dr. Vestal
they not only found the one who is
now dead, but also found -another
young ' girl who gave her name as
May Owen, from. Lm wood, and -who
wiii iu a serious cuuumoa. cue uaa
also gone through the same Operation.
Last mgnt about 11 o clock Urs.
Staton and McAnalty were called to
the home of Dr. Vestal to see Bessie
Thomasson and they at once taw that
the girl was in a most critical con-;
dition. They suggested to Dr. Vestal
that the patient be taken to .the hos
pital for treatment and made the ar
rangemeits but ' it was soon learned
that the girl was at that time in a
dying condition and that to; remove
her would be only hastening, her
death. At about 12 o'clock ehe died
after having a number of spasms. Be
fore she died she made a full confes
sion to the physicians telling about
the operation and her treatment..' ,
May Owen, the other girl, was re
moved to the hospital by the police
men and her condition seema. some
better, but is yet regarded as serious.
Bessie Thomasson came to High
Point last Sunday night , from her
home at Statesville without the knowl
edge of her father, to receive treat
ment from Dr. Vestal.- She was in
duced to come here by a young man
named Levey Maynard, of this city,
who it is claimed is the man who got
the girl in trouble. Maynard lived
in btatesville for quite a while, dur
ing which time he met the yQnng girl
and was keeping company with her.
An old woman by the name of Susan
Darr, who lives on Reid street, was
engaged by Maynard Friday morning
at 9 o'clock to go to the jiomof JDr.
Vestal and nurse the girl. Before the
coroner's inquest she stated that as
soon as she arrived she learned iwhat
the trouble was and also found the
girl in a critical condition. The bed
linen was badly soiled and the general
condition of the room was filthy. Mr.s
JJarr was employed to only nurse
the Thomasson girl but when she ar
rived on the scene she found both
girls in the same room suffering
trom the same trouble.
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock a cor
oner's inquest was held by Coroner
w. w. Wood, off Greensboro, - and
County Attorney John N. Wilson, of
Greensboro. The verdict of the jury
was as follows: "The deceased came
to' her death by the unlawful act of
one Dr. W. L. Vestal and that Levey
Maynard and Mrs. W. L. Vestal were
accessories to the same."
mere was a post mortem exami
nation held immediately after the
jury jnet by Dr' Fortune, of Greens
boro, county, physician, Dr. D. A.
Stanton and Dr. J. R. Reitzel. At
this examination all the evidence
submitted was substantiated.
The whole city was aroused over the
matter and all day long Main street
near the undertaking establishment
of J. W. Sechrest has 'been the scene
of crowds : of men gathered distcuss-
ing the affair.,

THE KNOXVILLE EXPOSITION,
To Be Sell September 12 to October
12 Low Saflroad Bates.
For the Appalachian Exposition, to
be held in Knoxville September 12 to
October 12, the railroads of the south
eastern territory have granted ex
tremely low rates which ensure the
success of the enterprise, making pos
sible the attendance of thousands. The
exposition being especially designed
for the States of t'ie Appalachian
region, Tennessee, Virginia, West Vir
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama and Kentucky,
Lfhere is sure to be a large patronage
of the coach excursions to be run on
Tuesdays and Thursdays during the
exposition period' for which the rate
will be approximately one cent per
mile traveled. Tickets sold for these
excursions will ; be good , only in
coaches.
Tickets at approximately 1 1-2
cents per mile traveled will be on sale
during the exposition. These will be
good in Pullman sleepers and will al
low a ten days' stay in Knoxville.
It is expected that at least 350,000
persons will visit the exposition. One
of its most enthusiastic boomers is
Passenger Traffic Manager S. H.
Hardwick, of the Southern Railway
Company, which has several lines con
verging at Knoxville. The Southern
is very much interested in the suc
cess of the exposition, as has been
its uniform policy with such enter
prises in the South, and is co-operating
with its management to the fullest
extent.
Southeastern Roads and Trainmen
Reach Adjustment.
Official announcement was made
from Washington Saturday night by
the mediators that an amicable adjust
ment of the controversy between the
railroads in the Southeastern territory
and their conductors and trainmen
had been reached. The agreement
signed provides for a substantial in
crease in wages of the employes and
improved conditions and hours of la
bor.. The adjustment also averts a
threatened strike of 10,000 men,
which would have involved approx
imately 40,000 others. The settlement
reached is regarded as a distinct vic
tory for the employes, although con
cessions weremade oy both sides.
Salisbury-Concord Road Surveyed.
Charlotte News, 2nd.
Mr. T. H. Vanderford of Salisbury
came to Charlotte yesterday to make
final arrangements with the Southern
Power Co. for the supply of power to
the new street railway which Mr.
Vandford's c ompany is building in
Concord and vicinity.. The cars will
be running in Concord at an early
date, though the agitation as to the
removal of the railway station has de
layed the work somewhat. Mr. Van
derford states that the survey for the
road from Salisbury to Concord had
been made and the right of way se
cured, and that the work will be
pushed to immediate completion. r,
