PAGE TWO Ed Powell Takes Over Reins Os Henderson Tourists Pahlman l akes Post At Rocky Mount As Pilot Pettis Terrell Joins Club to Play First Base; New Pitcher Coming After being connected with base ball in Henderson for the past five or six years, Otto Pahlman today gave up the managerial reins of his Hen derson Tourists, an entry in the Cen tral State League, to Ed Powell, long a familiar figure in baseball here, and went to Rocky Mount, where he will manage and play first base for Purol Pep team in the Central Caro lina League. Yesterday was to be Pahlman’s fi nal appearance in a Henderson uni form before taking over his new du ties but a last minute cancellation of their game with Jalong in the league robbed him of his chance ;Ed Powell, the new manager, has been working out and playing with the club for sometime, and is very fsuniliar with the club He has been in baseball for a number of years and has a real baseball head on his shoulders. The team will remain practically intack with the exception of Pettis Terrell, a semi-pro star in local fields, who will take over the first base berth vacated bv Pahlman. Ter rell is a fast runner, a nifty fielder and a fair hitter, and it is felt that he can occupy Pahlman’s shoes with out materially weakening the team. Pahlman reached his decision in go ing to Rocky Mount when that team approached him with a favorable of fer carrying considerable cash, to gether with expenses, to come there in a managerial capacity. Powell plans to continue the en try in the Central State League, and will honor all passes sold by the for mer manager at the gate. The play ers will share the proceeds of the gate as their salary and the team will not be responsible for any debts in curred by the former manager. Pow ell asked for the support of the fans in his undertaking, and he stated he Would appreciate it if fans would tear up their season tickets and pay the regular admission at the gate to aid in financing the team.

Advices from the sheriff’s office in Louisburg to the Daily Dispatch to day said that witnesses for the inves tigation were being summoned, and that Sheriff J. P. Moore was in the vicinity of lhe crime making further inquiry and looking into various phases of the slaying and the lynch ing for whatever evidence he could discover. .Nothing new had been learned, so far as the advice went, however, and there was no word that the lynching was condemned by resi dents of the vicinity where it hap pened or by others in the county. The view was expressed that some Vance county citizens may have been in the mob that took the prisoner away from Sheriff Moore and depu ties some five miles east of Louis burg as they were trying to get him to the Nash County jail at Nashville, 25 miles from Louisburg, for safe keeping. Jt was said that probably five or six automobile loads of infur iated citizens made up the mob that wrested the Negro from the officers who said they did not recognize any of those in the party. Meantime, Governor Ehringhaus today had offered a reward of S4OO for the “arrest, delivery and convic tion” of the “unknown person; or per sons” the coroner’s jury ; assembled by Franklin county Coroner R. A. Bobbitt found did Ward to death The investigation tomorrow morn ing will be conducted by Solicitor W. Y. Bickett, of Raleigh, in charge of the seventh judicial district consisting of Wake and Franklin counties, be fore Judge W. C. Harris, of Raleigh, resident judge of the same district. There was no indication as to how long the injuiry would take, whether one day or two, or maybe more. Governor Ehringhaus has express ed ’ills regrets at' the lynching and tbfe horrible crime that preceded 1 it, and has said that he believed had he been advised of the situation in time he could have sent sufficient troops and State police to the scene to have prevented it. Ward felled Mr. Stokes with a rock and then went to his sis ter’s home and obtained an axe, which he later chopped off the head of his victim. Hg then took it under his arm, together with the axe, and re turned to the house, where he laid it on a chair and sat down to look at iit.i He had previously attacked Spurgeon Ayscue, well known young Vance county man of the Epsom com munity, inflicting an ugly wound in his forehead with a bottle when Ayscue told him to get out of the car after he had given him a lift. Ward also later attacked and seriously wounded his sister, in whose home he is understood to have been living, and who is the mother of several children. Funeral services for Mr. Stokes were held this afternoon at 4 o’clock at New Bethel Baptist church, of which he had been a prominent mem ber for many years, and interment followed in the church cemetery. Rev. Charles Gillespie, the pastor, was in charge and the rites were attended by an immense throng of people. The Vance-Franklin line runs along a highway that lies between the church on the one side and the cemetery on the other. In addition to Rev. Mr. Gillespie, a number of ministers in other churches in tl\e vicinity assisted in the services. Masons had charge of the ceremony at the grave. Mr. Stokes was a highly respected and widely known farmer of his com munity. He had been a member FRANKIE PARKER’S BEST SHOT b .... ■ ~~ . V..

He was also secretary of the John H. Mills Masonic lodge at Ep som for many years, and was a regu lar attendant at its meetings. He was an outstanding churchman, and friends said that his church came next to his home and his heart, and that he was a man who had always a,ided in bettering the community in which he lived. He was well known in both Henderson and Louis burg, and in parts of both Vance and Franklin counties.

Surviving also are the following children: Mrs. Kearney Southerland, Mrs. Norman, Edwards, both of Vance county; Mrs. Nick Stainback, of Henderson; Walter Stokes, of Fuquay Springs, and Miss Fannie Stokes and Billy Stokes, the latter four years of age, and both of whom lived at the home. Two other children, Mrs. Paul Hudson, of Louis burg, and Clifton Stokes, a resident of the section where the deceased lived, were also reared in the Stokes home.
