Headless and Footless Charred Body I Recovered at Albemarle. Albemarle, Nov. I.—The headless, j footless and charred body of a white *%an lies today in a local undertaking parlor, with no evidences of its iden tity. The body was found on the old Mabry place, about two miles north of the city. All. present evi dences and circumstances point to the fact that the man was murdered, led, placed in the barn and the barn I set on tire. Sheriff Furr and his deputies have *pent the day in an attempt to learn I iome>hing of the identity of the j body and some clue to the person or j persons who committed the crime, if ! crime it is. The body presents noth ing by which it may be identified. The head is gone. Some shells like bones may have been parts of the skull, the feet and, bands and arms are gone. The bones of both j legs are severed jiust above the ! knees. Sheriff Furr, who helped recover : the body, says that in his opinion j the body was nmltilatod and packed j into some kind of container and ear | ried to the barn. At knee, where the leg was bent, the fles«h was not charred, and it was thus learned that the person whs white. The body was found in the shed, where the heat could not have been/ so intense, it is said, i No one lives on the "farm but the owner of the barn states that the main barn was locked. No word has come from any sec tion roundabout of any person be ing missing. No suspicion rests on any local person for having eommit j ted the crime. The only clue found Iby Sheriff Furr are footprints of ; some persons leading to the building I from a nearby railroad, and the same j footprints leading from the building I across fields. But this gives no clue of the person making the footprints. The trunk, legs and stubs of arms indicate a body of a rather small man- All circumstances point to a ghastly murder, undertaken to be covered by arson. It is stated that the body will be held a short time for possible identi fication. Seaplane. Skimming Surface, Hits Submarine Periscope.

THE Al TO RACES Speed Kings to Return, to Charlotte Speedway November 11. Charlotte, Nov. 2. —Fortified by a ' string of victories on the motor speed ways from coast to coast, premier -speed kings of America return to the Charlotte speedway, November 11th. Armistice Day, primed for a contest ; wriieh will test t tie skill of drivers and the performance of the fastest cars in racedom. Drivers who were placed far down the list of winners in the first two Charlotte rades since (have had o taste of victory. They are coining back able to point to achievements on the other speedways as proof that theirs is no disputed claim to the victor’s crown. A setting has been given the ap proaching race entirely different from the way the speed demons stood prior to the last Charlotte race in May. Pete DePaolo is fresh from his ter rific of 500 miles in the In dia-napqris event, but will be hard pressed by a coterie of daring aces who have tuned their speedy mounts in gruelling contests that brought fresh laurels to who could net the fastest pace. The youngsters Bob McDonough, clinched his claim to a place in racing annals by capturing the Labor .Day classic at Altoona. The Fresno race, produced a victory for Fred Comer, always among “the also rank” at Charlotte. Harry Hartz. wrio makes a special ty of stirring second place finishes, i was second at Syracuse and fourth i at Altoona. Bennett Hill gave Com er a run for his money and was placed second at Fresno. Two other {mights of the roaring boards, who were forced out of the ! ast Charlotte race by engine trouble, have been “in the money” on other trackls. Dr. William Shattuc, mil-, lionaire racing physician, drove a! smashing race at Fresno, wriile Jerry | Wonderlich, the daring “Sheik of | Hollywood”, was among the first few j at Syracuse. Hartz, by virtue of his ownership of the car piloted by I Comer and Du ray, in three races saw his fleet gather in one first place, two seconds and a fourth. If recent performances count for anything in recokning possibilities in the next 255-mile championship fea ture at Charlotte, it will be far from a one man victory. Success in re cent racing ventures will materially heighten the thrill of the dash for a ■share in the $25,000 in prize money and a higher standing in annual championship of motor racing. Reserved seats for trie Charlotte classic have been put on sale at the S. & W. Cafeteria in Charlotte. Mail orders are receiving prompt atten tion from Osmond L.

OTHER OFFICIALS TO BE CALLED | Name of President Cool idge Did Not Appear on List of Witnesses the De fense Wants. Washington, Nov. 2.—(/P)—Col. j Win. Mitchell, on trial by court mar tial as a result of his criticism of the conduct of the government air scr- today asked the court to sum mon Secretary Davis, of the War De- j partment, and Secretary Wilbur of the Navy Department as witnesses. I Several other high officials of tlioj two departments, several members of Congress and more than sixty army | and navy officers also were named by the defense in a Fst of those it would like to question. The name of President Coolidge did not appear on the list. The Colo nel and his counsel after assessing the legal obstacles that would stand in the way of a subpoena for the Presi dent, had made up their minds not to try to summon him. It was apparent from the Colonel’s action in seeking to bring cabinet offi cials and members of Congress into the trial that he hoped to thresh out in court the whole range of issues in-] j volved in the air controversy and thus ; present a justification for his charges that the air services had been admin- ! istered with criminal and almost trea- j son able negligence. Whether the court will admit that proceedure is ques tionable. The court proceeded with the ac tual opening of the trial without in dicating whether it would /-ufnmon those named on Col. Mitchell’s list as j witnesses. Another motion by Mit-j ehell’s counsel to dismiss the charges on the ground that the court had no jurisdiction was quickly rejected. Then the prosecution called* to the stand as its first witness A. W. Yea ger. reporter for the San Antonio Tex as Light, to whom Col. Mitchell gave a copy of his San Antonio statement containing the accusations that led to his court martial.
