held in jail until Monday after
noon. He was cleared of any re
sponsibility in the death.
Arrested Late Monday
Holleman was arrested here
late Monday. He had been heard
to remark in a Statesville res
taurant Sunday afternoon, "They
have the wrong man in jail,
ran over him, and I can't drink
enough to make me drunk with
what I have on my mind."
Cass was arrested at the Ma
haffey home, where he had gone
to sit up with the corpse.
According to testimony, Cass
was a passenger'in a car driven
by Holleman; on Highway 115,
near the Silver Moon Cafe, they
saw two men on the side of the
road; one of them lurched in
front of the car.
Testimony la Dispute
Cass said he felt a bump, they
drove on for a short distance,
stopped, returned to near the
point of impact, and saw a man
running from the scene. He tes
tified that they agreed to say
nothing of the incident,* but Hoi
leman denied this .statement.
An autopsy report from the
Bowman Gray School of Medi
cine, Winston-Salem, showed that
Mahaffey suffered a fracture of
the skull, multiple rib fractures
an the left side, a kidney hemor
rhage, and a ruptuned spleen.
Clean Up Fly
Breeding Places
By E, R. Spruill, Sanitarian
Since the weather has been as
warm as it has thus for this winter
it appears that the insect infesta
tion for the summer looks dark.
Therefore, the Health Department
is asking that everyone take extra
pains in clearing up fly breeding
places in and around your premises.
From time to time the depart
ment gets calls concerning dumping
dead chickens etc., into small creeks
and streams. This is- a health haz
ard to the community, in that cat
tle all along these streams and
branches drink the contaminated
water and can pass on to humans
diseases from drinking the milk
from such cattle.
All such dead birds should be
burned or buried. If each person
will take just a little time and clean
up fly breeding places around their
local living area, then the whole
community would benefit and dis
ease outbreaks would be lessened.
