Events leading up to Hall's death Sunday, November 8, 1947, as recounted by Williamson: He knew Hall because years ago Hall stayed with the William son family in Belhaven, N. C. The previous Wednesday and Thursday Williamson had been Hall's guest at the cabins. At that time Hall spoke of having a lot of money. Williamson went to Wilming ton, N.

They told Ciesillski they planned to ' shoot a deer on the drive down, i and it would be easier with a shotgun. 1 ( Williamson testified* tint the j ι plan was for him to spend some J time with Hall again. Then, he * added, Martin was to stage the robbery anil tie up Williamson' and flail. Ciesillski, -"till knowing noth-j ing ol the- robbery, was to wait in the car a short distance away and drive off when Martin re turned, Williamson told the jury.

The pub lie is invited to attend. The Tabor City town board Wednesday night ollered R. E. (Pete) Reynolds a •'trade'1 in which they would pay Reynolds $1.700 less than called tor in contracts between Reynolds and the town if Reynolds would fin ish all work on plans and specifi cations for three civic projects. Reynolds rejected the offer completely. The board offered $850 upon completion of plans for a sew er project and another $850 upon completion of street pav ing plans. A water project al ready has been completed. Declaring that ho had exhaust ed his personal funds in carry ing on the work so far, Reynolds said the board, in refusing to ad vance money Which Reynolds claims is now due, is "making it impossible for me to go ahead." Commissioner Robert Soles made the motion that Reynolds be paid "half of a $3,400 balance on the projects and the motion was seconded by Commissioner Horace Roberts. The third commissioner, H. D. Stevens, voted against the proposal with the statement: "I'm against it." The dispute between Reynolds and the town board has been simmering since the present board took office last July, the board contending that Reynolds had resigned all connections with the town prior to its taking of fice; and Reynolds contending that a contract between the town and his firm of Eutsler and Reynolds, Engineers, is still valid. The engineering firm was re tained by the town two years ago to prepare plans and spec ifications for three improve ment projects—water, sewer and streets. Under contract - signed after the work actual ly got underway, the engineers were to be paid 6 per cent of the projects for preparing plans and specifications—or a total of $6.800 on the three projects. A total of $3,400 has already been paid and it was the re* maining $3,400 that the town board offered to split with Reynolds. All funds used for paying the engineers so far and any funds paid them in the future would come from the Federal Govern ment under a Federal Works Agency program. None of the money is refund able until and unless the town goes ahead with one of the pro jects—whereupon the engineer ing fee would have to be repaid the FWA. . As things stand now, Reynolds has received an advance of one half on the three projects and claims he is due another $1,200 for completion of the water project. ine ιο\νη ooara says ntrynoius has received $1,000 more than rntitled to because his fee on the water project is $2,400 and that is all the work he has com pleted. The board stated in offering ihe proposal that it considers the original contract with Eut slcr and Reynolds as expired and that a continuation of the work by Reynolds would be under an entirely new contract. The members also emphasized the fact that they were proposi ti.aim« Reynolds to finish the plans and specifications and not for any engineering wovk in carrying out plans. In making the proposal, the board expressed the opinion that the original estimates on ihe proposed civic projects had been set too high and that doing ill I of the work was out of Ta bor City's financial range. Although indicating that it is ready to proceed with the wa ter project, the board expressed the belief that.it would not use l.he sewer and street project plans—certainly not at any time in the near future.
