J. L. Townsend, former county road
superintendent, with conspiracy, ended
here this afternoon when motion for-

Harris of Raleigh.
The state showed that there had
been irregularities in the accounts of
the road board, for which Townsend
was largely the buyer, to the extent
of. $23,326, which amounts had since
been refunded through uncancelled
checks issued to the Carolina Trading’
Company, of Charlotte, of which A.
G. Yelton was manager,, through re-
tuim of invoices and notes Yelton
held against the county, and a re
fund of $10,200 by Yelton’s brother-
in-law.
Quantities and prices were padded,
evidence showed. Practically all of
the bills were passed for payment by
Townsend, and the secretary of the
board issued vouchers therefore. The

day before his death. His condition
was .critical from the first of his
sickness and all that loving hands
and medical skill could do were of
no avail. He was the son of the late
Jackson and Catharine Shaw and
spent his life in the community in
which h e was born and reared.
He was born September 23, 1871
and was in his 59th year.
He was married to Miss Minnie

Joel Horne Turner,
Springs’ leading business men and
president of Turner Stores, Inc., fur
niture dealers of this city, was al
most instantly killed Tuesday night
about 8 o’clock, when his car left
highway No. 70 and plunged into the
swamp just north of town. The
news of his death spread rapidly over
Joel
town and the immediate surrounding
community and citizens of every walk
of life were hot only, shocked buc
visibly grieved over the passing of
one of the town’s leading citizens.
The exact cause of the accident
probably will never be known. Mr.
Turner had been suffering from dizzy
spells at intervals during the past
several weeks and it is understood
had one of these fainting spells on
Tuesday morning. Tuesday after
noon he went to Raeford to transact
some business and on his return trip
is when the accident which cost his
life occurred. Where highway No.
70 crosses Little Raft Swamp, just at
the northern limits of Red Springs, is
a concrete bridge. The car failed to
take the bridge,' but instead, plunged
off the right side of the embankment
and apparently sailed through the air
for a distance of about 20 feet com
ing to a stop on its wheels in the
middle of the stream. When the car
left the highway it evidently struck**
the retaining wall at the side of the
bridge causing it to leap into the air

minutes before the position of the
car and body could be made out.
When help finally got to the unfor

being due to drowning. The deceas-.
