Beam Heirs Ask
$50,000 In Damage
A suit for <50,000 against the
First National bank has been filed
with the clerk of superior court
here. The suit was filed by Pey
ton McSwaln local attorney and was
brought by A. A. Powell, trustee for
Enos L. and Zeb E. Beam.
The suit alleges that the First
National bank obtained from Enos
L. and Zeb E. Beam possession of
the Carolina theatre through an
alleged Indebtedness of <37,500 and
for a cash price of only <3,000.
The suit also alleges that the
bank had an agreement to sell the
theatre to W. H. Webb of <37,000
prior to a foreclosure sale of the
property and thus profited by <io,
000.
The long complaint Involves a
series of transactions between the
bank and the Beams, in which it ii
set forth that Enos L. Beam execut
ed a deed of trust to the bank on
November 3, 1939, with the Caro
lina theatre as security, for <14,
6«5, and another such deed in trust
on March 31, 1931, tor an alleged
indebtedness of <38,687.
Then, says the complaint, aftei
the bank had accepted the theatre
In full payment, the bank fore
closed all the notes, and itaell
bought in the theatre for <37,800.
The Beams allege further that
bank collected rents amounting to
<25,000, which sum, they say
should have bean credited to the in
debtedness of <38,687. In addition,
they claim that the bank received
from Minnie L. Beam a lot on Trade
street worth <8,500.
Will She Marry?
It Now Question
(Continued from page one)
probably nobody on earth knows
except King Edward and Mrs.
Simpson:
‘‘Will she marry him? Or won't
she?"
In any event, the first step in
Mrs. Simpson's attempt to cast off
the shackles of her second matri
monial venture was expected to be
reached late this afternoon—as soon
as the stem-visaged Mr. Justice
Hawke could dispose of the four
cases docketed ahead of the half
dozen divorce actions on the cal
endar.
The “afaire Simpson” came first
on the list, with the pretty and
"ageless" Mrs. Simpson—as her
friends have described her, recall
ing her debut to Baltimore society
some 30 odd years ago—expected to
tell her story of alleged misconduct
on the part of her husband to a
sharply-restricted court room audi
ence.

T oday’s
Markets
By VICTOR EUBANK
STOCKS EAST
NEW YORK, Oct. 3«.—(AV-Quiet
but persistent selling lessened prices
fractions to 2 or more points in to
day’s stock market.
Offerings of leading steels, mo
tors, oils and rails were large at the
opening, but the trading volume
dwindled thereafter and near the
fourth hour the ticket taper moved
slowly.
Brokerage quarters found little
discouraging in business and indus
trial news and most were inclined
to attribute reactionary tendencies
partly to the desire of some traders
to stand aside pending the elec
tion. Others through the continued
unsettlement of European affairs
might have been a retarding in
fluence.
Secondary bonds emulated shares,
but dealings in this department
were comparatively small. Com
modities were mixed. Foreign cur
rencies were narrow in terms of the
dollar.
COTTON STRONGER
After selling off to net losses of
8 to 12 points, declined to 11.80, the
market encountered renewed trade
buying and prices at mid-day were
up a point or two from the lows.
