THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina
Man Burned To
Death In Blaze
At Addor Sunday
A 48-yea>-old Negro man of
Addor burned to death in his
home early Sunday morning, ap
parently after going to bed with
a cigarette.
Ralph Steed, Moore County
coroner, identified the victim as
Roy Matthews. He said that Mat
thews’ father, Juby, who is in his
middle 80’s, told him that his son
came home drunk Saturday
night and went to bed.
Later, the elder Matthews said,
his soil got up for some reason
and returned to the .bed with a
burning cigarette. In a short
while, about 9:30 Sunday morn
ing, the four-roomj dwelling
was on fire but Matthews was
unable to arouse his son.
He told Steed he climbed out
the window to save himself, as
sisted by Mrs. Arthur Little, a
neighbor who had discovered the
(fixe and caused the Pinebluff
Volunteer Fire Department to be
notified.
The fire department answered
the call but was unable to save
any of the building. The fire
crew exhausted its supply of
water and fire-fighting chemi
cals and was unable to locate an
other source of water near
enough to the blaze to help.
Many home fires are due to
overload or short circuits, often
between the walls of the home.
