sell Weiss, 21, was to tell Marine
officers here today why he was de
layed nearly 48 hours in returning
to base. He says he was forced into
sexual relations with three girls at j
the point of a razor, robbed and
left on a highway clad only in a
pair of shorts.
Marine officers said Weiss' story
"better stand up” or he might be
in "pretty bad trouble." But auth
orities. at Asheville where Weiss
reported the incident, promised to
write his superiors here attesting i
to some of the facts.
Detectives at Asheville said some
of Weiss' statements were "conflict- }
ing” and that he was unable to
give them a complete description of
a "beautiful blonde," two brunettes
and the car he said they used.
Police were searching for the wo
men and the ear.
THREATENED WITH RAZOR
Weiss said the girls offered him '
a ride, then threatened him with ;
a four inch razor that “looked like
a bayonet" unless he complied with (
their orders. He said he had re- i
lations twice with each brunette j
and three times with the blonde.
One of the girls drove the car.
one weilded the long razor while the
other forced her attentions upon |
him. Weiss said.
When he tried to grab the razor,
one of them slashed his shorts, he |
said. Finally they robbed him of
SSO and left him on the highway, j
Marine officers here said Weiss
had been in trouble before and has
some marks against him. He was
placed on the absent over leave list
and was restricted to quarters when
he arrived here, pending a hearing.

him with a knife, when McKay!
heard the warrant had been taken j
out. "You know damn well I ain’t j
never been about you," McKay told
him. according to. Holliday.
Holliday, who runs a small store
told the court that McKay was j
familiar with the fact that he kept!
the receipts in a purse on his per-!
son. He said he had the money at
the time of the burglary but that
the burglar did not get it.
On cross examination by defense
attorney D. C. Wilson, he bad con
siderable difficulty in pointing out
the defendant ana admitted that
his eyesight was impaired.
Wilson also challenged his .cred
ibility on religious grounds and got !
him to admit that hd belonged to
no church but was an infidel.
"I knowed his head,” he main
tained, when asked how he wa*
certain that McKay was the in
truder. He said he could not des
cribe how he was dressed because
"he went out too fast.” He admit
ted that the door was not locked j
and prying the window open was!
not necessary to get in.
FATHER TESTIFIES
Casper McKay, the defendant’s
father, said his son was at home
ip bed on the night of the burg- ;
'.ary. He said the door between his
room and that in which his three
sons were sleeping remained open,
and he would have known if any of
the boys left the house.
He said Irvin was at home when
he came in at about 12:30 and that
he heated water, took a bath, and
went to bed. He insisted that none
of the boys left the house during
the night.
Irvin’s brother, with whom he
sleeps in the same bed, also test

crawled about.

costs if ’he’d drop the charges. He
refused to do so, however.
In passing sentence, Judge Strick
land explained the procedure. “Due
to the publicity which has been
given this case,” Judge Strickland
told the spectators, “I feel that you
are entitled to an explanation of
what is being done.”
Whether or not Aikens will be
reinstated on the police force is a
matter yet to be decided.
Police Chief George Arthur Jack
son, who suspended Aikens before
serving the warrant on him, didn’t
care to comment after the trial.
Aikens was employed qy City

say whether or not he thought Aik- j

he didn’t think the Chief of Police i

has stated that every department

The company’s efforts to develop
improved traction and stopping
ability were intensified, he said, by
reports from across the nation
which revealed that in accidents
involving skidding, approximately
48 per cent cf the vehicles involved
skidded before applying brakes, and
52 per cent skidded after applica
tion.
The new tire also retains the
puncture sealing and blowout proo
tection safety features of the origi
nal tubeless tire which was first
introduced by B. F. Goodrich in
1947. Mr. Weilons said the company
has recently been granted patents
