(By Associated Press.) Winston-Salem, March 7. Napol eon Spencer, colored, 18 years pld, wag arrested at midnight last night at the home of his father, Henry Spencer, in the eastern part of the city on a charge of murdering Mr. and Mis. Harvey Hester, the white couple shot and killed Tuesday afternoon at thiar home two miles east of this city. The capture of Spencer was made ly Deputy Sheriff . Flynt and Chisf of Police Thomas, who did not brinp the prisoner to this city but hurried him through the country in an au tomobile where he is being taken to the state penitentiary at Raleigh. This action was deemed advisable owing to the sentiment prevailing in this community. Spencer, who had a bad reputation, was found in bed by the officers with a 38-calibre pistol under his pillow. While the evidence against him so far is circumstantial it is' regarded as strongly incriminating. Spencer is alleged to have been seen by various people in the vicinity of the Hester home home Tuesdav afternoon and is charged with having fired a pistol several times. He also answers the description by two white "men on the Byerly farm of the man seen leaving the Hester home ufter the shooting. Baby Was Calling Dead Mother. Winston-Salem, Mar. 6. -Completing the double murder, perpetrated by an unknown man near this city yesterday afternoon, Harvey Hester, aged 24, died early this morning as the result of a pistol shot through the head when he looked into his win dow where his young wife was dead as the result of three pistol shots through her body. Officers are hold ing two men, a negro and a white, on suspicion. When two men working nearby ar rived at the home a few minutes af ter the shooting, one little daughter, aged about 18 months, was on her mother's breast calling her, while an other, three years old, was calling her father. Feeling is runing high, as the man and woman killed were highly re spected and no motive can be found. The funeral of Mr. and Mrs. Hester will be conducted from Oak Grove Moravian, church, five miles east of the city, tomorrow afternoon. They are survived by two daughters, aged hree and two years. Mrsj Hester was found dead across a bed, three bullets having been fired into her. body, one penetrating her heart. No motive for the crime can be assigned. .
