His mother, Mrs. Stella Rubin stein, sat in the patio as if she were the grand duchess looking ov er the assembled peasants it pleas ed her darling son to invite to his home.

Wilson, young white man of the Mamers section. Wilson was charged with firing two bullets through the closed door of the home of W. T. Ferguson. The first shot pierced the foot of Mrs. Ferguson who is now in ser ious condition in the Lee County Hospital in Sanford. The second lodged in the facing of the door, testified Ferguson. The husband of the injured wo man was the first state witness. He told the court that after his wffe was shot, he cracked the door to “give him his baiby.” Wilson’s wife and child were at the Fergu son home at the time of the shoot ing, the witness said. On cross examination by defense attorney A. R. Taylor, Ferguson admitted Wilson had been to the home “at least a half dozen times earlier” that night. He denied he opened the door to admit Wilson. “Somebody did,” Ferguson said. “But I was busy with my wife.” Attorney Taylor asked that the court dismiss the breaking and entering charges and amend the warrant to charge assault with a deadly weapon. Solicitor Neill Ross argued, “You don’t have to kill a person behind closed doors to show intent to oommit a felony. This was supple mented with a drawn weapon.” Wilson was ordered held without bond by Judge M. O. Lee, who overruled the defense motion. The defendant had an arm h-oken i'i two places and suffered several heart attacks after his confine ment in jail last week. He was treated at Veterans Hospital and returned for the hearing.
