In this’ testimony, Dr. Chiles was corroborated by a num ber of other witnesses, who said that Mr. P'lrry, in their presence, made i . the statement that he wps shot by the lighter member of the trio. The State ilored heavily toward the close of the day’s proceedings when John McDougald, colored, who - lives in tbs Bluefield section of San ford, testified that on the Sunday night following the murder, Harvey Wallace and another Negro of darker hue, at around the hours of eleven or • twelve olclock, called at his home and asked for something to eatj. Before leaving, the tall, yellow Negro, whom he said was Wallace, told him that he had killed two men in Cumnock on ; Saturday morning.

L John C. Buchanan, local flour sales !man, was Friday bound over to the | December term of Federal court on •charges of violating the Mann White slavery act, -Buchanan, with J.C. Poole, who was also charged with the same oSfense, was .tried before U. S. Commi asion'cr j Durant C. Holler, the hearing tai&g place in the county jail, The charges against Poole.tfere dismissed. lira. Lulu Watts, of San ford and Battleboro, Vt., who prefer, red charges against Buchanan, was released but will be required to ap pear at the December term of Fed eral court in Greensboro to testify. Buchanan and Poole were arrested by county officers Wednesday evening of last week on charges of immoral ity, and R. A. Sinsel, of Washington, D, C.. an agenf of thc United State mediately to investigate the case un der the status of the Mann white i slavery act, which prohibits the carry ing of a woman from one state to another for immoral purposes. Coramissionfcr Holler placed Buch anan’s bond at $2,000. Up until to, day he had been tmable to make the required bond and is held in the Lee county jail, Prior, to the hearing both Poole and Buchanan had been held under bonds of $1,500 each on the local charges. A coincidence of the case was that Commissioner Roller, recently ap pointed to succeed John H. Kennedy, of Cumnock, and H. A. Sinsel, the government investigator, were appear ing in their first cases. Mrs. Watts testified she first met Buchanan at VPinehurst early in 1981. At that time, she stated, she Was in the employ at a hotel there as a waitress. She said she had several dates with-him following the meeting. A few weeks later she went to Sugar Hill, Mass., where She also was em ployed at a hotel During the early fall of* 1931, she stated Buchanan and Poole 'came to Sugar Hill to bring her back to North Carolina. Before returning, she said they went to her home- in Battleboro. Vt At that time, she declared, Buch anan wanted to marry her but insist ed that she return with him to North Carolina first She claims that she and her mother insisted upon the mar riage there. In defiance to her mother she said she left with the two men on the trip to this State. She alleges that at the end of the first day’s drive, she and Buchanan spent the night at a roadhouse as man and wife a few milea from New York City. Con tinuing on the trip, they stopped ,at Apex, where for several days and nights they put up at a boarding nouse under the names or Ur. and Mrs. Mills, Here, too, and later at Southern Pines, where they after wards came, both she and Buchahan, she testified, lived as man andwifU, All the time, she claims, she insisted that they get married but that Buch anan continued to place the wedding, at some indefinite point in the future. Later on, she testified, they came to' Sanford, taking up separate rooms at a local hotel. Eventually, according to her testimony, they drifted to another hotel, why re they lived for six or seven Weeks. ' -t After Buchanan had - repeatedly postponed marriage under one pre tense and another, she testifies, she became suspicious And decided t<* in vestigate matters for herself. Shp then learned he was not divorced from1 a former marriage and therefore could jabt many her. " She then .

Grady, of Clin ton, presiding. Judge Grady is not a stranger to the people of Lee coun ty as he has held court here before and will hold the next term. He be lieves in pushing the business of the court so as to clear the docket as soon as possible. An unusua~y large crowd was present for a July term of court. | Perhaps this was due to the fact that the ground was too dry for the farm ers to work their crop* to any ad vantage.
