Sept. 22 United States Marshall J. B. Hollo way spent Monday at his home hei'e md talked freely of the unfortunate tragedy at Jonas Ridge, this county Friday morning, when Gus Avery was killed by Mr. Holloway as he ran from his bme attempting to es- f cape arrest. The officers version of the affair is substantially as follows: Accompanied by Deputy Sheriff L C. Shell the deputy marshal having a capias for Avery under an indict ment served last November by the grand jury of the United State dis trict court, went to the Avery home bout daylight Friday morning. They found the man at home. He. suspect ing their mission, pushed past - Mr. Shell, who stood in one door of the homd while Mr. Holloway blocked the other, and attempted to run away. The deputy marshal yelled to the man to halt but he kept running. While continuing? the chase the of ficer fired twice into the ground, hop ing, he stated, to scare the fugitive and halt him. As they ran Mr. Hollo way tripped, he says, and as he stumbled forward his gun was dis charged. Regaining his feet he could see nothing of the runaway and de ciding that it would be useless to try to find him in the thicket into whicli he judged that he had made his es cape the deputy marshal rejoined Mr. Shell remarking it is said. "Well, I rave him a good chase even if he did get away." Still unaware that he had killed Avery, Mr. Holloway came to Marion Friday and went to Ruth erford College Saturday to visit there the family of his wife. He did not know that Avery was dead until Saturday nihgt. As soon as he could get in touch with officers here he le them know where he was, saving he would come to Morganton if he were wanted here. Sheriff Johnson went to Rutherford College Sunday and bond was arranged for his appearance at a hearing here today. Yesterday it was agreed between Solicitor Huff man and Spainhour and Mull, whom Mr. Holloway has employed to re present t'm, to postpone the hearing until Saturday, it being necessary for the solicitor to be out of town to day on other business. It is thought here that Mr. Holloway will haVe no difficulty in proving that the shooting was entirely accidental, since Mr. Shell, who was with him. will corroborate in every detail the statements he has made.
