y?n HaiiiuIpH WlflM llvUIIUvtVb By Tragedies Dies la Blast Morganton, Oct. 17.?A leak In* gaa store exploded at a rural tilling station, today, killing a 3S-year-old man whose life had been hounded by tragedy for more than a year. The body of Jimmy Boyce Mltchem was found In the shat tered wreckage of his Twin Oaks Pilling Station, about 15 miles south of Morganton near the Cleveland County line. Sheriff's officers, attributing the explosion to a leaking gasj store, quoted neighbors as saying' Mltchem had noticed the leak i yesterday and remarked that he; would hare it repaired today. ' The blast shook neighboring houses and levelled the concrete! block building which housed the1 filling station. Officers found a late model pickup truck a few feet from the front door and theorized that Mltchem was loading the truck prior to returning to Oastonia. Approximately $75 in silver was found in the front seat. Several cases of beer were found in the truck and officers said a quantity of whisky had been in the front seat, but was destroyed by fire which damaged the truck. Mitchem's wife was found shot and their 6-year-old daughter Rhonda Pearl, was found dead near Gastonia in the Summer of 1948. Mitchem was held under bond for investigation of the case but he was released when police produced a note alleged ly written by his wife. ?The note, indicating that Mrs. Mitchem had killed the child and shot herself, said: "f- had to do it. 'I* didn't want her to live like the rest of us." Mrs. Mitchem, wltose trial was delayed while she gave birth to twins, pleaded no defense to a charge of murder in Gaston Su period Court this year. Judge Wilkin^ P. Horton directed that she be held in the State Hos pital at Morganton until proven mentally competent. mm oil m Delivers dependable comfort to keep your home snugly, com fortably. warm.
