Six thousand short of its $34.

Campaign Chairman Hal Jordan
expressed a belief that the *28,000
count would be improved on by

a final turn-over of collection*
could be expected to boost the to
tal. he said.
“We are so very near the goal.”
said Jordan. "1 hope we can get
over it. or at least reach the quo
ta”
While a number of North Caro
lina communities, both larger and
smaller than Dunn, quickly bang
ed to the top. this city has moved
turtle-wise at its goal.
Rea«on for stopping the drive
Friday night is that workers have
to get bade to their own affairs,
and the Fund collections have been
made already over a long period
of time.

EVIDENCE POINTS TO VISITING NEPHEW
Angier Womans
€lothes Ripped Up
Investigating the latest of two wild and apparently
senceless attacks on an Angier woman’s wardrobe, Rural
Policeman Leon Smith has come up with an odd but hu
man solution.
Smith traced the attacks to a
12-year-old hoy, nephew of the wo
man whose clothes were slashed.
The telltale ehies were some beg
gar lice. ttbo0dly distributed
through the ruined clothes, and
minor bloodstains.
The SBI is now checking some
SfTeasy fingerprints to see if these
also will point to the 12-year-old.
What first turned attention to
the nephew was the law officers’
old standby, "opportunity.’' On the
occasion of "both attacks, one of
which occurred two months ago
and the latest, last Saturday, the
nephew was staying with his aunt
and uncle. Ordinarily he lives In
Raleigh.
Tn both cases, the crimes were
committed with great thorough -
ness. "Every stitch was torn up.”
said Smith, describing the first In
cident. "The second time she had
some gowns and some maternity
clothes, and he slashed those. Then
he went outside to the clothesline
and tore up the undergarments.”
LEFT PLENTY OF CLUES
But it was not a perfect crime.
There were mile-wide clues. For
one thing, the ruined clothes were
full of beggar lice, and inquiry dis
closed that the nephew had been
rabbit-hunting with his uncle.
When he returned from the woods.
hi« clothes were full of the lice.
Another good clue was the blood
stains. When Smith talked with
the nephew, after finding blood
stains on the tom clothes, he found
that the boy had a nip on hi*
finger which had been bleeding.
Finally, there were the greasy
fingerprints which seemed to have
some connection with grease on the
handle of the boy's scout knife.
“Far as I can make out, he likes
his Aunt fine." said Smith, “but
there must have been sort at agi
tation or something in his mind."
Smith believes it was a crime of
love. Love for his uncle, and Jea
lousy for the place that the aunt
seemed to hold in his uncle’s af
fections.
The boy has not admitted the
crime, and in fact denies it. but
the evidence appears to be strong.
Depending on the outcome of the
SBI investigation of the finger
prints, the case will probably be
turned over to Juvenile authori
ties.
“He's a nice little fellow, too.”
said Smith.
