Wilson on the telephone that she didn’t want to take the dog away from the boy if he want ed it. At that time the dog had been shipped and Mr. Wilson-did not appear to be worried about parting the boy and the dog, she told The Pilot. On arrival in Southern Pines, the puppy was turned over to Mrs. Dwight Hoskins, executrix of the estate of Calvert Wilson and recipient under his will of half of his estate, because Mr. and Mrs. Wilson had no facilities to care for the dog. The puppy is happy in its new home, Mrs. Phipps said. While the clippings received by The Pilot, in letters from over the nation, did not list the mother of the dog’s former owner by name, captions on some of the photos published elsewhere did list the mother as Mrs. Frank Wilson of Straight BoURBON Whiskey QGHT AEARS OLD NINETY PROOF years old MeIjROSE (^huu^At BOURBONj Southern Pines. Mrs. Phipps showed The Pilot a sheaf of let ters her mother had received with comments similar to those received by The Pilot, some of which, Mrs. Phipps said, were “very mean” and which had upset her mother considerably. Neither Mr. or Mrs. Wilson are in good health. Mr. Wilson, in a statement for The Pilot made through Mrs. Phipps, said that the puppy was sent to Southern Pines, “as it was our son’s wish,” since he had said that he planned to bring the dog here with him in the near future. Mrs. Phipps said that she hates to see her mother maligned and criticized and thinks that the news photo created a false impression about the situation. She said that there are no plans to send the dog back to the boy—which is what most of the letter writers, many of whom did not sign their names, said ought to be done. One of the letters cEime address ed to Mayor Voit Gilmore and was turned over by him to The .Pilot. A. C. Reed, manager of the Bel vedere Hotel, brought in a clip ping of the photo from The New York Daily News, but made no comment on it.
