RICHMOND COUNTY POSSE
KILLS MAN IN RANDOLPH
NEAR MICH FIELD
BOLD HIGHWAY ROBBERY BY
TWO WHITE MEN RESULTS IN
DEATH OF HIGH POINT MAN.
W. R. Clinard, aged 23, son of Mr.
and Mrs. A. C. Clinard, of Hifeh Point,
was shot and killed by one of a posse
from Rockingham, at Michfield, elev
en miles south of Asheboro, in Ran
dolph county, last Friday night at
12:30 o'clock. The body was taken to
Rockingham soon after the killing and
coroner's inquest held, verdict being
that he came to his death at the hands
of Robert Steele, Jr., J. F. Diggs, P.
C .Markwater, James Allred and Con
stable Ed Rogers and that the killing
was justifiable self defense.
An account of the robbery says,
about dusk Friday night Robert Steele
in his Ford coupe passed a Hudson
speedster stalled in the sand about 12
miles south of Rockingham. The
stranger, J. Kent Greer, got in
Steele's car and pressing a pistol
against Steele's side ordered him to
drive to a neighboring house to secure
help to extricate his car. After get
ting the car but it apparently went its
way.
A few minutes later as Steele and
Henry Harrington-were driving home
ward a short distance from where the
Hudson had been stalled they were ac
costed by two men who threw a pistol
in their faces and commanded them to
stop. When they got out of the car,
the man hit Steele across the head
with the butt o fhis gun and stole
from him his pistol, keys, etc. Har
rington remonstrated when they took
his watch, and he, too, was knocked on
the head. The men then entered the
car and drove in the direction the
Hudson had gone.
Steele reached the Diggs store and
phoned the alarm to Rockingham, the
coupe and the Hudson had both been
seen to pass through Rockingham.
The sheriff of Richmond county orga
nized a posse of a score of cars to
scour the country. The citizens of El
lerbe were phoned where an effort "was
made to barricade the street with box
es and intercept the Hudson but the
car with fearful speed burst through
the. edge of the obstruction to the ac
companiment of shots and sped north
ward. ,
Posne'Overtakea Men
The pursuing cars returned, except
the five persons charged with the kill
ing came on to Seagrove, four miles
this side of the Montgomery county
line, where the Ford coupe was found
near the railrdad with the rim of one
wheel off and the spokes worn off two
or three inches. The radiator was still
warm, showing that they were close
on the trail. About three miles fur
ther they passed two men and stop
ping asked them to ride.
Said Steele to the men: "You don't
know me, do you?" "No," was the re
ply. "I'm the man you held up, knock
ed in the head and from whom you
sitole a watch and car.," and drawing
his pistol commanded the men to hold
their hands up. The dead man, Cli
nard, sprang backward, raising as he
did so his right hand, which was
clutching something in his overcoat
pocket The click of the mans pistol
was heard, testified Steele, and sim
ultaneously a gun was fired from the
car and Clinard fell with a hole torn
just under his left temple.
In the meantime the man's partner,
Bob Greer, was endeavoring to pull a
weapon from his pocket, testified
by Witness Allred, but the men in the
car covered him and made his hands
come up. On being searched the
watch stolen from Harrington was
found on Greer and a pistol just be
hind him on the ground, where he had
dropped it as his hands came up. In
the right pocket of the dead man's
overcoat was found the pistol he had
stolen from Steele and his hand was
tightly clinched around the weapon.
Also on him was found Steele's bunch
of keys.
Bob Greer is in jail at Rockingham
awaiting a preliminary hearing on a
charge of highway robbery. J. Kent
Greer is in jail in High Point to also
answer to the highway robbery
charge.
When interviewed by a reporter,
Bob Greer stated that his brother, J.
Kent, on Tuesday bought from Jettle
Garland at Hih Point Hudson
speedster that was recently traded in
by J. El-vood Cox, that the three men
with two show women of Greensboro,
left that city Wednesday for Colum
bia, They spent Thursday in Columbia
and were returning to High Point,
when as Greer expresses it, the entire
bunch got drunk and the car stuck in
the sand where Steele found -them,
that he remembers nothing whatever
about the robbery and that he did not
attempt to draw a pistol when "halted
by the men in the car later, on the
night
The body was shipped to High Point
Sunday morning and waa interred In
Oakwood Cemetery in High Point on
Monday.
J. Kent Greer has riven bond for
13,000, while Robert Greer-i m jail

Antidote for Bolshevism .
In view of the state in which the
wo.'-:d xiuy finds itself, with labor in
every country discontented and rest
less, could any work be more important
'nan that ot husiness sanitation con
ducted by Government officials intent
oniy upon a great constructive policy
of building up sound, successful, leg
itimats business? It is openly, stated
on every side that business men are
agitated and apprehensive about the
possible spread of Bolshevism in this
country. If there is any such danger
today, how much greater would that
danger have been but for the con
structive work of the Wilson Adminis-
tration in the matter of eliminating
lllegimate business interest"
The outstanding distinction between
the Democratic party and the Reoub
lican party is that the former is an
unentagnekl party y; it owes no allegi-

It is itherefore, free to devote its ener-
gics to legislation i:i the interest of the
whole American public and, of course,
service of .s'.cck.l .-jioups. Wo havc.i.a
many illustrations in the past of the
' danger inherent in methods of that

Extreme conservatism begets ex

apt to swing from one extreme to the

safety of business lies in the continu-
ance of the policies . of the Democratic
party. Our party has done rnore for
the business of America than the Re-
