Police investigation showed that Thomas, a tall, impressive, good natured officer more than six feet, tall and weighing over 230 pounds, had been found in the company of a Dunn housewife on more than one occasion and that police had set up watch and seen the young white mother go to Thomas’ home and stay for nearly an hour when nobody else appeared to be pre sent in the home. Another white woman complain ed to police that Thomas had been following her about town, ' made It a point to be present at stores and other places when she was there and also asked her highly personal questions while lavishing her with compliments and indicating he would like to go out with her socially despite the fact she constantly tried to ignore him. A third woman told officials that Thomas carried on the same sort of ‘‘campaign” with her, ex cept by telephone. City Manager Uzzle said he had personally interviewed one of the ladies regarding Thomas’ miscon duct toward her and that it was after that interview that he and Chief Cobb agreed immediate ac tion must be taken to avoid trou ble. FIRST ADMITTED IT Chief Cobb said Thomas at first admitted some of the charges against him, as well as an "affair" with a married Negro woman. Mr. Uzzle said he knew for a fact that Chief Cobb had treated Thomas “like a father would have” and that Thomas bad of ten related to others “how good Chief Cobb has been to me.” The chief loaned him money Just a few days before he was fir ed. Thomas received a salary of $295 a month and also worked in off-hours as Janitor at several lo cal offices. ’ “Raymond was the last man I . thought would ever try to harm me* said Chief Cobb today. “In fact, I wouldn’t have believed that : anybody could have even hired him to take a shot at me. He’s hound to have gone berserk." In fact, Cobb said he thought nothing about it when the shot gun went off the first time and thinking he had a blowout open ed’ the car door and looked back to £e Raymond behind him, al most bumper to bumper. A mo ment later, Thomas drove up be side the police chief and fired the shotgun blast at dose range. Ap parently believing he had killed Cobb. Thomas rushed on to kill his wife and commit suicide. Cobb said Thomas on several occasions had discussed his trou bles, financial and unspecified, on the fact his wife had left him. On one occasion, Thomas told a fel low officer, “I reakon what I ought to do is take a gun and kill her but that wouldn’t do.” After. Ms firing, the chlif said, Thomas apparently became bitter. He said that Just within the past few days reports had reached him of threats Thomas had made to ward Black and Nordan for in vestigating his activities and that he had warned the two officers to be careful. It appeared obvious Thomas had planned the killings. He was seen circling the chief's bouse earlier Tuesday morning, ap parently waiting for the chief to leave his home for work. He also threw his night stick into the yard at the home of Ru ral Policeman Carson Hall with a note reading, “You can hate this.” Walter Dafford, owner of the Dafford Funeral Home, said today that funeral services for Mr. Mid Mrs. Thomas probably will not be held before Sunday. No arrangements have been made as yet. Warren To Oods call, so I closed my law prac tice and wont back to school and seminary." . S That call took him to ten-year pastorate at Lexington Avenue Bap tist Church, Danville. Ky„ and five - years at Immanuel Baptist Church, Little Rock. Ark. In each state he was trustee of various Baptist institutions and served in responsible posts of the state Bap tist conventions. In 1943 Warren was called as pas tor of First Baptist Church, Char lotte. His home state soon had him hard at work. He was president of the Bap tist State Convention in 1946-47, president of the General Board for three years beginning In 1950. and chairman of a committee which raise $lt4 million through the churches for the new Wake Forest College campus in Winston-Salem. But it was in Charlotte that he became obsessed with the need for missions In saturating every com munity with the gospel. The church began nine missions which grew into churches, and kept others go ing in various parts of the city. Warren challenged his associa tion to "double its preaching and teaching stations during the nest ten years”. They exceeded the challenge. It was on the strength of hts vlctorv that, as president of the Southern Baptist Convention, he challenged the 1956 meeting in Kan sas City with the same goal. Later. Warren was asked to head the undertaking. “I am too old”, he pleaded, but convention leaders persisted and he began the wort on January 1. 1958.

Committee Chairman Emanuel Celler, D-N.Y., canceled a meet ing at which the committee was to vote on a civil rights bill far stronger than the President and many of his congressional sup ports believe can be passed.
