BY LEONE HART KOSTER
Brigadier General Joseph W.
Stilwell, Jr., deputy commanding
general of the U. S. Army’s John
F. Kennedy eCnter for Special
Warfare, Fort Bragg, was the
featured speaker at the luncheon
meeting of the Sandhills Kiwanis
Club Wednesday and his topic
was one of vital interest to the
United States and the Free
World—the war in Vietnam.
His message was a personal one,
illustrated by slides he took in
South Viet-nam. He returned to
Fort Bragg just a few weeks ago
from Saigon where, from August,
1962, to July, 1964, he was the
commanding general of the U. S.
Army Support Group Vietnam,
USARPAC, and special assistant
to the Commander, Headquarters,
U. S. Military Assistance Com
mand. Just recently he was
awarded the Army Distinguished
Service Medal for his “eminently
meritorious service” there, pre
sented to him at Fort Bragg by
General Hugh P. Harris, com
manding general of the Continen
tal Army Command, Fort Mon
roe, Va.
This award, with others he has
received—the Legion Of Merit,
the Combat Infantry Badge, the
Purple Heart with Three Oak
Leaf Clusters, the Bronze Star
with V- Device and Oak Leaf
Cluster, Air Medal with Oak
Leaf Cluster, the Soldiers Medal
and numerous foreign decora
tions such as the Croix de Guerre
with Palm and Star and the Or
der of the British Empire—attest
to his outstanding service before
and during World War II and in
the Korean conflict.
The son of a distinguished offi
cer, the late General Joseph W.
Stillwell affectionately called
“Vinegar Joe” by his contempor
aries, the younger Joe lived at
of the Orient,” and some very
grim ones of downed helicopters
and shattered villages. Though
claiming to be just an amateur
“shutterbug,” General Stilwell
made pictures more vivid than
most war pictures done by pro
fessional photographers. In his
running comment on the slides,
he gave not only concise and def
inite information on the Ameri
can participation in the war in
Vietnam, but also some delight
fully amusing comments. His
sense of humor captivated his au
dience, just as it always has those
with whom he served and friends
who know him well.
General Stilwell’s appearance
here is considered an outstanding
event by the members of the
Sandhills Kiwanis Club and by
the specially invited guests who
were privileged to hear his talk,
Robert S. Ewing, president of the
local club, is a former Na-vy of
ficer, now editor and publisher
of the Moore County News. R.
F. Hoke PoUock, who arranged
'for General Stilw^’s ap'pear- j
ance here, is an Army Reserve
colonel, and an attorney in
Southern Pines. Many others in
the capacity crowd that gave
General Stilwell a standing ova
tion after his talk, have served in
the military forces. Every person
there is vitally interested not
only in the outstanding military
post so close to Southern Pines,
and the men it trains, but in our
country’s participation in an area
beseiged by Communist troops.
Among those especially appre
ciative of General Stilwell’s talk
were the invited geusts who,
each in his own way, has contrib
uted to this country’s military su
premacy. 'These retired officers
included Lt. Gen. George P.
Ha.yes, a Medal of Honor winner;
Lt. Gen. A. D. Bruce; Major Gen.
I. T. Wyche who served as In-
Three Questioned In McMullen’s Death
Tried This Week For Larceny, Assault
Glimpses into the mystery sur
rounding the death of Arthur Mc
Mullen, Pinehurst bachelor, on
August 16 were seen in misde
meanor cases against three de
fendants called in Moore Record
ers Court Monday, at Carthage.
The three were those who had
been jailed on suspicion and for
interrogation into the death,
which, judging from the condi
tion of the body, officers said,
could have resulted from a beat
ing. All three were later released
on bond and none had been for
mally charged in connection
with the McMullen case.
However, when the trio came
into court, it was on petty lar
ceny charges, also for two of
them, assault.
James D. Hartley, 41, of Lin-
ville a tall, quiet and scholarly-
looking man who had been Mc
Mullen’s companion at the time
of his death, and for weeks pre
viously, at McMullen’s home on
Linden Road, pleaded guilty to
charges of larceny of items from
the Fairway Motel on August 14.
'The stolen items were listed as
two blankets, three plastic trash-
baskets, one bedlamp and one
glass coffeemaker.
Charged with the theft of
sheets, towels, shirts and under
wear belonging to McMullen, on
August 15, also assault on Hart
ley, were Laylon Prevatte, 24,
then of near Hoffman but now
giving Greensboro as his address,
and David Hancock, 22, of West
End. Prevatte and Hancock had
visited McMullen at his home the
evening before his death, officers
said.
All three defendants testified,
also Chief Deputy Sheriff H. H.
Grimm, who had interrogated
them extensively in investigating
McMullen’s death, and from the
testimony arose an impression of
an evening of drinking, fighting,
more drinking, and more fight
ing, all in the presence of or cen
tering around the mortally ill
or injured McMullen.
Hartley accused Prevatte and
Hancock of breaking into the
house, taking McMullen from his
sickbed and even outdoors into
assaulting Hartley when he tried
to intervene.
Prevatte and Hancock denied
having touched McMullen, who
they said was already bruised
and cut up when they entered on
his invitation, but it was admit
ted that Prevatte and Hartley
had exchanged blows. Both said
McMullen told them “a friend
from Charlotte he hadn’t seen in
three years” had come there the
night before and beaten him.
They said they wanted to call a
doctor for him but he wouldn’t
let them.
Prevatte denied having used a
pair of brass knucks which
Grimm said had been found on
his person. He admitted having
taken the linens and clothing,
which had been packaged in
fresh laundry, “out of a box” but
both he and Hancock denied hav
ing cut off McMullen’s initials
and laundry marks. 'The items,
with cut-out places, were exhib
ited in court.
Hartley and McMullen had vis
ited both the Fairway Motel and
Holiday Inn that weekend before
returning to McMuUen’s home.
Testimony revealed. There, early
Sunday morning, several hours
after Prevatte and Hancock had
left. Hartley found McMullen
dead, he had told investigating
officers.
In court this week. Judge J.
Vance Rowe sentenced Hartley
to four months on the roads for
the petty larceny, suspended for
two years on payment of $100
fine and costs, and on strict good-
behavior conditions.
Prevatte and Hancock, plead
ing not guilty, were both found
guilty of petty larceny and also
of assault and battery, and sen
tenced to 60 days on each count,
or four months on the roads
each; the sentences to be sus
pended on payment of $100 fine
and one-half the costs each, on
good-behavior conditions for two
years. The sheriff was directed
by the court to return the stolen
items to their rightful owner or
owners.
What further action that may
be taken in connection with Mc
Mullen’s death was not indica-
a rainy night, beating him up and I ted by the sheriff’s department.

ed with the 15th Infantry Regi
ment in Tientsin, China, in those
days the “farthest from home” of
any U. S. Army unit. This assign
ment paved the way for his duty
during the second Warld War in
the China-Burma-India area, and
then with Advance Northern
Combat Area Command in Bur

Later duty assignments inclu
ded service in Canada, Alaska,
Japan and Europe, as well as

Colo., with “time out for study
periods” at tip military schools
such as the Army and Navy

College. His military assignments
and his specialized education,
plus his experience in numerous
foreign countries, have given
him a unique background to un
derstand and evaluate the prob
lem of our Armed Forces today
stationed in many countries of
the free world.
In his talk to the members of
the Sandhills Kiwanis Club and
their guests General Stillwell was
eloquent in his praise of the
Americans serving in the jungles
and rice paddies of a country
that is the only bit of the South
east Asia continent, not either
neutral or dominated by the
Communists. The pictures he had
taken illustrated the type of ter
rain, the kind of villages, the
sites of battles and the native
troops of South Vietnam.
Especially graphic were the
ones of the men, weapons,
planes, helicopters and ships
which the United States has there
to support the defenders of the
government of South Vietnam.
There were some beautiful scenic
shots of Saigon, called “the Paris
er, all of the Army or Air Force.
Also among the distinguished
guests invited were three retired
Navy Admirals, Felix Baker and
Thomas C. Ragan of Pinehurst
and C. Critchton of Southern

well likes best to talk of his fam

In a brief interview before the

Crash Bound Over
For Grand Jury
A hearing into a highway col
lision and death of last January
11, north of Robbins, was held
Moore County Recorder’s
Court Monday, delayed nearly
nine months because of the serf'
ous injuries of the two drivers
and problems of investigation.
While the actual cause of the
crash remained a mystery, the
evidence brought a finding of
probable cause against Kelly Don
Burgess, 19, of Robbins, Route 2.
Charged with careless and reck
less driving resulting in death.
He was bound over for grand
jury action under $1,000 bond.
Killed in the accident on NC
705 near the Howards Mill Road
intersection was a year-old-Ne-
gro boy, Melvin Wilbert Davis,
Jr.. Injured were his father, and,
less seriously, his sister Mary,
four, and brother Robert, two.
Burgess, who suffered a se
vere head injury and, like the
senior Davis, had prolonged hos
pitalization, did not testify.
State Highway Patrolman Jer
ry Cain gave details of the po
sitions of the crashed cars but
said he had not been able to de
termine the actual point of im
pact, nor its cause. A car which
had been waiting at the scene
to make a left turn had moved
by the time he got there.
Mrs. Anne Dowdy, owner of
that car, told of seeing Davis’
car pass and hearing, though not
actually witnessing, the crash.
