iji Brvson City, todiy, bound over to
the Superior Court Jt^se Brown..
Daisy Lewis anil Cash ('lark, of Jack
MKi comity, and Minnie Crowder, of
Bryson City, on a murder charge in
conn<?ctioti with the death, last April,
of Andy Bradley, whose body was
found in the Tuekaseigee River, near
he mouli of Kirkland's Creek. His
i.hroat had been eut.
! Hamp Kirkland, Deputy Sheriff
'iiorp- Sa:idli:i, and Lucy Belle Cun
tungbim, young Syivn woma.i, weie
:he three witnesses produced by thj
State; but, it is believed that Mr.
Calhoun based his judgment of prob
?ible cause largely upon the .nidence
the Cunningham girl.
Slie testified to this effect. "I was
viih Nellie Jenkins, of Brysou City,
n Sylva, when she asked nie to have
>ome Iiecr. I tohl her I had no money
uid she said she would buy it \V.-?
iVent to J ick Cooper's plate and had
i bottle together. While there Daisy
iX'wis came in and tusked if wo didi: :
I .rant to go on a trip We asked h ?r
[arUevr we were going and she siid on
i good {jnie. She told us that Ji\?*
.-Ironii had hi., truck it the Chevrole.
place and for us to come there when
we were through. Wc met them then*
jnd dmve to Dillsboro,where we stop
jN-d and Brown and Miss Lewis said
hey were ip?i:ig to get ?*>me liquo.
W :h?y returned they hid a quart
jar of whiskey. They then daov<- t ?
ward Franklin and returned in
.in hour or an hour and a hi If wi'h
Cash Carl: and Minnie Crowder. We
idl piled ruSo the seat of the truck
and started toward Bryson City. We
stopped three times on the highway
for some of the party to drink liquor.
When we came to a side roid we turn
M off the main highway and went up
tfhi.s road something like half a mil
popped, and Brown turned the track
$?band-4tuid we started back. I sakel
why they were going up this road a.i-1
why they turned and then stopped
again. Daisy 'Lewis cursed and said,
'we've got- to get the body of an old
Bradley man we've killed. Guess you
may keow him. He used to live in
Sylv.i'. Jess Brown, Cash Clark and
Minnie Crowder got out of the truck
and walked up the road a few fe t,
went into the bushes and brought out
the dead body of a man which thev
put in the bed of the truck. The y
told Cash Clark, Minnie Crowder and
mt: to hold the body rpright, 3?. t we
wf -e seen they would think it wa-?
I#?*iy going somewhcie. We st'T.c t
k.ck toward Svlva, stopping o>i the
Ki&'amVs Creek road and Brown,
Clark, and Minnie Crowder got <*uf,
taking the bc-dv. Brown said,'lay him
across my shoulder and I will deliver
him'. Then they went down a bank
toward the river. They had left h ?
body and we started toward Sylv-.
Brown stopped once and said to nu,
'If I knew you would, tell I wopld kill
vW. It was 5:30 when we left Ryl. a
and about 10:30 whim they let m?j
out tr? go home".
The defense offered no evidence ? in
the preliminary hearing.
Bradley was employed by tho Papi-r
l*>ard Plant in Sylva and made ho
hoiue here until a short time b<for?;
liis death, when he bought a farm ii
Swain county and resigned his po
sition here.
