“Be with you in a jiffy,” grin
ned Curtis Bettini to a waiting
customer as he filled the strang
er’s tank. His partner, Gene
Fields, was attending a funeral
and his helper, Hubert Weather-
spoon, was grabbing a hasty
lunch.
In the brand new service sta
tion a mile south of Southern
Pines on Highway 1, Bettini
wiped the stranger’s windshield
and headlamps, swept the^ floor
mat, checked oil, fan belt, radia
tor and battery, added , three
pounds of air to a tire, then
wiped the rear window clean.”
“You’ve made a big sale,”
smiled the stranger.
“I don’t understand, sir. It took
only $2.02 to fill the tank.” .
“Fill out this blank and you’ll j
understand when the $50 in cash
arrives from Raleigh. I’n^ your
distributor’s ‘mystery man.’ My
understand people. I carried the
Greensboro Daily News for four
years when I was a boy, living in
Vass,” said Bettini.
“Sure, the $50 bucks will be
split three ways. If Gene or Hu
bert had been here, they would
have done the same,” he said.

Robert Lee Westmoreland, a
41-year old Negro of Brooklyn,
N. Y., will be brought back here
to face charges of assaulting and
attempting to kill his wife about
10 days ago. Chief of Police C. E.
Newton said earlier this week.
Police at present do not know his
whereabouts, but think he may
be at liberty on bail.
Westmoreland, a janitor in a
Brookly apartment house ,arriv-
ed here by train Sunday, Novem- [
ber 11, and made his way im- [
mediately to the home of James |
Hunter at 620 W. Connecticut
Ave. where his wife, Louise, was |
staying. Hunter is her grandfath
er.
According to a statement given
police by Mrs. Westmoreland, she
was called to the door about 8:05
and told by Westmoreland that
he had come either to take her
back to Brooklyn or kill her. She
refused, she said, and he whipped
jout a pocketknife and started
stabbing her.
She related that she finally
got' away and ran back into the
house. She was taken to a hospi-
ta> where the wounds were diag
nosed as serious but not critical.
Chief Newton said that about
25 minutes after the stabbing
Westmoreland apparently stole a
car from W. L. Baker of North
Bennett Street. Mr. and Mrs.
Baker had just returned from'
church and did not miss it until
the next morning.
Police also said that Westmore
land attempted to call his wife
from Vass about 11:20, but was
unsuccessful. He did reach a
neighbor, however, and instruct
ed her to tell -Mrs. Westmoreland
that he would be back.
Last Thursday police received
a report from New Jersey State
police that they had recovered
the automobile Moiiday on the
New Jersey Turnpike with West
moreland and his brother, Hal,
in it.
A telephone call to the local
police department from Charlotte
Monday morning from William
Bauknight, brother-in-law of
)Robert Westmoreland, inquired
if Westmoreland was in jail here.
Upon being told that he wasnt,
he brought his wife, Westmore
land’s sister, to the phone. Mrs.
Westmoreland, who was in the
station at the time, talked to each
of them and was informed that
Hal Westmoreland was there and
would also like to talk with her.
He disclaimed any knowledge of
the affair here, or in New Jersey,
and said he had not been out of
Charlotte at all.
Robert Westmoreland was giv
en a citation for having an im
proper registration but the new
Jersey police did not know at
the time the car was stolen.
Later after officials here had put
out a bulletin on the theft
through the State Highway Pa-
