$5,000 BOND IS
NAMED IN CASE
(Continued from page o^e)
first ever to occur within the
town of Elkin.
Ashley died in Hugh Chatham
Memorial hospital here between
7:30 and* 8:00 p.m. Thursday,
several hours after receiving a
fatal injury allegedly at the
hands of Marlowe.
It was brought out at the hear
ing that although no one knew
what the trouble was between
Ashley and Marlowe, it was
known in the shop that the two
did not like each other.
According to the evidence,
Marlowe, by his own admission,
struck Ashley with his fist. Wit
nesses testified that although
they didn't see the blow struck,
they did see Ashley stretched up
on his back on the cement floor
with Marlowe standing over him.
Marlowe, it was testified, said:
"I hit him with my fist."
It was also brought out that
Ashley, upon gaining conscious
ness at the hospital, said: "He's
killed me," claiming that Mar
lowe struck him on the head
from behind.
Ernest Ashley, a brother of the
deceased, w&s the first witness,
stating that his brother had been
placed in a car for transit to the
hospital when he reached the
scene. He said he asked his
brother what was the matter, but
got no answer. He said he then
turned to Marlowe, who, he testi
fied, had a Coca-Cola bottle in
his hand.
Roby Casstevens, an employee
of the shop, stated that the first
he knew of the occurence was
when he turned around upon
hearing "an unusual noise" and
saw Ashley stretched upon the
floor. Rushing to him, he heard
Victor Waddell, another em
ployee, ask what was the matter.
Marlowe, Casstevens testified,
said: "I hit him with my fist."
He also testified that Ashley was
lying stretched out upon his back.
Victor Waddell confirmed Cas
stevens' testimony. He said that
he was under a car when he
heard an unusual noise. Crawling
out, he found Ashley lying upon
the floor. He testified that Mar
lowe told him he had bit Ashley
with his fist. Ashley was bleed
ing at the mouth, he said. Both
Casstevens and Waddell stated
they did not know what the
cause of the trouble was between
the two men.
R. C. Freeman, owner of the
garage, testified that he was at
the hospital and heard Ashley
say: "He's killed me. I was bend
ing over working on a fender
when he hit me in the head."
Mr. Freeman said Ashley was ap
parently in pain, mumbling his
words and groaning.
Dr. C. L. Haywood, who made
X-rays of Ashley's injury, was
not present at the hearing, hav
ing been out of town at the time.
Mr. Freeman said that neither he
nor Dr. Haywood considered
Ashley's injury as serious at the
time of the examination. Ash
ley's death was said to have been
caused by a skull fracture.
Attorney Parks Hampton, who
appeared for the defense, is of the
belief that Ashley struck his head
against the cement floor when he
fell, the blow resulting in a fatal
injury, and that his death did
not result from the blow struck
by Marlowe.
Marlowe is the son of Larry
Marlowe, a farmer of neir
Mooresville. He secured his Job
with the local firm after making
a good record with the ,Surry
CCC camp. He was at his father's
home, in ignorance of Ashley's
death, when he was arrested. ■
The deceased was a son of Mrs.
Rose Ashley and the late Sanford
Oreene Ashley, of Boonville, route
1. He had recently moved his
family from Jonesville to a coun
try place two miles away.
Surviving are the widow, Mrs. 1
Ruth Simmons Ashley; a one
year-old son, Kenneth; his moth
er, the following brothers and sis
ters; Paul, Clarence, Ernest, and
Virgil, employees of Elkin auto
mobile firms; Harvey, William,

Betty, Patty, Era Mae and Versa
Ashley, at home; Mrs. Robey
Garner, Winston-Salem.
Funeral services were conduct
ed Saturday at ll o'clock at

which he was a member.
