Word has eonie to my office of the very solendid manner in which you and your committe- and others received the children of our Sine"' Class on their recent visit to your town. I just felt an urjre to < "Thank you" t0 your prood people. If is indeed a comforting thought to us to know that while our little one3 travel around the Stat* they arc in the rands of friends The** enjoyed their stay with you immenseh* I want also t0 thank -iu for the check for $.>?.60. which represents the Pro cee do f?-om the concert these chil dren pave I know if meant hard work on the part of von and your committee to m?ke it this amoun'. and I am grateful to all who had a part. Como to see us some time, and *>iuo.00 lor i liifeuou s capture, the county w.li bo asi.t.u to supplement by i o.uo the vo ai.tfauy posted oy tne county to matcn tne vkfo ou oilereu oy David iv. uu, tauitr, ot tne victim, and Mr. .\Oernathy stated tnat it ihis was aoi.e ne wou.u personally put un an other $10U.U0, mau.ng the total re ward $325.00. bnexili Abernathy and a posse oi men took up the hunt for Higdon shortly alter ihe tragedy occurred bat u ran y July 13th, and trailed him irom his home down the river ami through the mountain fastness ail night Saturday, Sunday and Sunday night without avail. They were on a hot trail se\erai t-lnes, but due to the density and ruggedness of the country, and the enveloping darK. ness of Saturday night, Higdon elud ed his pursuers and escaped. Through bunda" the hunt continued, every {.oss.ble clue and tip being run down. Oft .cei's were placed at stragetic points, all bridges were guarded, bu* somehow or other Higdon slipped through th?. dragnet. Some believed he swam the river, while others be lieved he remained in hiding on this side until the officers, haggard and worn from trudging the mountains for two d&vs and nights, abandoned the hun* Monday morning, leaving deputies of the district to continue J the rch. Seen ^ev^ral Times Higdnn was reported ?to have been ; t'en several times Saturday afte-. I noon and niirht at places widely sep :? rated. Officers were only about thirty minutes behind him when ho left his home and fled. He was trai-iied through fields, across ridges. up and down eoves alon>* trails by a peculiar mark in his trad: caused by a small piece of leather taiked on the sole of one of hi* shoes, which officers discovered by the t:acks ht? made as he left the house. When nigh' fall made tracking dif ficult, flash lights were brought int ? use, and thc search continued, and was lost way down below Una'r.a on the road toward Appalachia The flash light batteries gave out, and darkness kept the officers from fol lowing the track which was said to hav> been so easy to follow. Hig-don is reported to have spent the night only a short distance from the trail which officers were on and which they werc following when the flash light batteries went dead. No Arms and N0 Money It was said that he did not seem ill jit ease or worried in the least. So far as our informant could ascertain, he di'l not carry anv arms and did not. have anv money. It was sta'ed that be was dressed in a sort of bla'-k suit, wh'te sh*rt, sleeves rolled un and his coat off until shortly before he left Sunday morning. When asked how hp slept durine the night. Hip-don renlied that * he p'ept a ? sound as a lo?\ He sat out on the front porch with his host Sat urday n;^ht until about two h"?nrs after davk. and onlv casuallv looked | down the road up which he had come, as if he did not expect pursuit. Another report was to the effect that he called at a restaurant in Ap ralachia about 1 or 2 o'clock Sunday morning for something to eat, and when he learned that officers were in the vicinity, left. Another report was to the effect that he was seen going toward Benton, Tenn., in an automobile Sunday afternoon. From meager reoorts gathered here and there it is H:??dor. claims that he shot Kidd in self de fense. According to Higdon's story, when Kidd and his party reached the snot of the tracedy. he stepned out in front of Kfdd and told him to throw h;s gun down and he (Hiedon) would throw h'"s- down. He said Ho. berf was carrying his gun on his shoulder, and he fired when Robert was in the act of bringing his gun ?o a firine position. Says He ^Vas Not Mean to Hobert's Wife David Kidd, father of the victim. AMBUSH VICTIM Hobert K'dd who was shot from ambush as he walked a'on^ a lonelv mountain trail with his wife and son.
