VOL. XL Truth, Honesty of Purpose and Untiring Fidelity To Ou r Country and I YADKINVILLE, YADKIN COUNTY, N. C., THURSDAY. FEBRUARY, 15. 1934 TILLEYS EXPECTED TO WAIVE HEARING IN MURDERMYSTERY Each of Those Held To Be Charged In Four Counts TRIAL IN MARCH Rather than submit to a pre liminary hearing, the five members of the Tilley family now being held in jail at Wilkesboro for the death of Leoda Mae Childress, 20, on Dec ember 30, are expected to waive a hearing and leave their case in the hands of the grand jury at the next term of Wilkes superior court which convenes March 5. Although no orficial announce ment has been made to this effect, the information is thought to have come from a reliable source. Solicitor John R. Jones, when questioned Wednesday as to wheth er or not a hearing will be held, sta ted that he' did not know. Eugene Trivette, counsel for Mrs. Luther Tilley, one of the five de fendants, has said that he cannot state positively that a hearing will not be held or that habeas corpus proceedings will not be instituted, but said an effort to obtain release of any member of the Tilley family under bond was improbable. Members of the family now held include W. W. Tilley, 60; his wife, 59; Luther Tilley. 32; Mrs. Luther Tilley. 30, and Clyde Tilley, 18. They will face charges of conspiracy to murder Leoda Childress; aiding and abetting in the murder; murder, and accessory after the murder. Although five are now held in jail. Solicitor Jones has not given up the investigation in search of new evidence. It was learned through Detective P. G. Sides, who is aiding Mr. Jones, that a number of wit nesses will testify at the trial that Rev. Levi McCann was heard to make the statement that Luther Tilley was at the Tilley home around 12 o’clock the day of the murder and that he remained there for about half an hour. He was said to have told Mr. McCann that “Oda has been killed,” when he joined his father in-law near the home, all this pre sumably occuring before Nathan Tharpe reached the home in response to a telephone call from the girl for aid. Mr. McCann’s latest statement concerning the whereabouts of Lu ther Tilley are said to be to the effect that Luther was out of his sight for only a few minutes.

SIGNS ORDER FOR REORGANIZING BANK Commercial & Savings Bank of Boonville On Restricted Basis Raleigh, Feb. 13.—Commissioner of Banks Gurney P. Hood today signed an order providing for the reorganization of the Commercial and Savings Bank, Boonville, oper ating on a restricted basis since the March 4 banking holiday, under a plan of reorganizaiton submitted by the directors of the bank, a plan identical with that under the Bank of Yadkin, at Yadkinville, is au thorized to reorganize. In fact, Mr. Hood said that the conditions of the two banks are as identical as two peas, except that the Bank of Yadkin is some larger, and that the plan of organization of both banks is the same, having been drawn in both instances by Attorney Avalon E. Hall. Both of the banks will open with insurance of deposits, as Mr. Hood requires now of all state banks opening for business. Neither of the two banks was per mitted to reopen because of large deposits both had in the Farmers National Bank and Trust Company, which closed and has not been per mitted to reopen on an unrestricted basis. Both were in excellent shape, if they could have recovered these deposits, Mr. Hood said. The plan of reorganization pro vides tor immediate payment of half of the amount of deposits to deposi tors and setting aside other assets of the bank in the hands of a trustee or trustees, who will liquidate the assets for the benefit of the deposi tors. If the second half of the de posits are not repaid within five years, then capital stock of the bank will be sold and any balance of de posits paid. The meeting of the directors on February 9 approved the plan, all of the five, F. W. Day, A. S. Speer, W. T. Fletcher, T. W. Shore and J. W. Shore, being present.
