Appeal Notice Filed
Jn Trespass Conviction
Margaret Hahn was fined $25
and costs following her conviction
in Magistrate J. S. Black s court
here Tuesday afternoon on a
charge of trespassing.
Her attorney, Mr. Jones of Char
lotte, immediately gave notice of
appeal to Haywood Superior Court.
The charge grew out of the in
cident of about two weeks ago in
which the bodies of four dead dogs
at the new town dog pound were
dug up. 1
The state took a nol pros as to
Lloyd Shelton after evidence indi
cated that he had acted in "good
faith" in going into the pound and
removing the dead animals from'
the holes in which they had been
buried.
Shelton testified as a state's wit
ness. Other witnesses were Chief
of Police Orville Noland and Town
Manager Grayden Ferguson.

Triplets .
(Continued from Page 1)
Their births were about an hour
apart ,and in ordor to tell them :
apart, the nurses used the letters
"A", "B" and "C" on .wrist bands
for identifications. For the one with
"A" the nurse nicknamed "Apple
4umpHng". The "B" stood for .VBil-ly-Boy"
wliile "C" was just Jeng
thened to "CCC" as the conserva
tion camps were in full swing at
that time.
The boys led normal lives, ex
cept for constantly confining their
neighbors and friends as to which
was which. Even their parents, and
sister, Vclma. severaj. years jolder,
'could not1 tell one from the other
until they were a year old.' I
At first it was thought that It
would be easy to identify Roy be
cause of a small mole on his left'
temple. It was not lone before that
theory exploded, as It was found
each of the other two boys also
had moles on their left temples.
Mrs. Singleton has found it only
necessary to take one of the bovs
with her on a shopping tour. She
fits the one. and then calmlV tells
the clerk: "Give me three-exactly
like that." The average clerk won
ders whv three of a slnelp item fnr
one boy, and then Mrs. Singleton
explains: l nave two other sons
the same size." Tbls explanation,
however, often just adds to the con-1
fusion. -,
Not so long ago she was buvine
shoes for the boys. The clerk gave
her two pairs the right size, and
for the third pair gave her a size
narrower. The next day the smaller
iPuir was returned. .
The bovs are in the eiehth erartf
and are interested in basketball
andfootball for their sporting ac
tivities. If all ( three bqys should
make eiJier team, it would be a
jiightmare for the opponents as
well as the spectators in trying
to keep track of their activities.
In all their school work, it is
said that Mrs. George Patrick is
the only teacher who has been able
to positively, identify them. As a
rule, it is a matter of confusion
in trying to tell them apart.
The b6ys are interested in farm-
ing and machinery. They spend
most of their time after school
working on, the three farms which
their parents own. The .three
farms, comprising about 50 acres in
an, nas about 14 head of jcattle,
and the usual amount of farm
work.
Mr. Singleton is a general pipe
fitter at Champion Paner and Fihre
Company, and has rounded out 22
years at his job. The boys come by
their love for machinery naturally,
because of his vocation.
Velma, their only sister, and a
pretty member of the Bethel 10th
grade, found life a little compli
cated when the three brothers were
small, but. jiow phe has managed
to "hold er own with them".
When asked if the boys teased
as much as just one brother, Vel
ma just smiled and said: "They
have their fun, but I have learned
to meet them half way."
The boys always team up togeth
er, and have pranks which pnly
three identical brothers could pull.
Mrs. Singleton was asked: "What
about the time when they start
courting?"
' She laughed, and said: "Did you
ask when why they have already
started." : A'."' I;
Neither of the three boys made
any comments, apparently they
felt that their courtins is a matter
J of personal privilege, and that if

a different brother wants to go see
the same girl under disguise of
being "the other brother" then
that is their business.
The boys are members of the Mt.
Zlon Baptist church, and their
father is superintendent of the
Sunday School.
Somewhere, sometime, someone
might find a slight difference be
tween the boys, but thus far, it
takes more than a mere visit with
them to find that difference. It
certainly is not in looks, size, voice,
and according to their mother,
their appetites ar identical.
The group of six make a very
happy family and with three 14-year-old
boys around, there are

boys are not the Wnd that are al
