HEARING HELD l IN CHARLOTTE Bost Tells Story of Shooting, Declaring He Was Defend ing Himself—Mrs. Vander burg Gives Statement. . Martin Bost. took the stand in his own defense at the habeeas corpus hear ing in Charlotte Tut-day ufternron be fore Judge Thomas Shaw, the hearing having been sought by counsel for Bast as a means of securing bail for him un til he is tried in Cabarrus Superior Court for the death of Jesse .1. Vander burg. Other witnesses were presented 1 by the defense and they were followed by a number of State’s witnesses, the hear ing continuing several hours. Judge Shaw has not yet made his decision. The testimony of Bost, Mrs. Vander burg. Sheriff Caldwell Ed. Riggers and; Dr. I. A. Yow was given especial atten-1 tion net only by Judge Shaw btit by j counsel. It developed from the hearing that the State in trying to break down i the defense plea of seif defense will -try I to show tha t the shooting occurred in I. some woods near the Bost home instead j of near the back porch of the home as'; Bost declared. "I’m sorry I had to do it, but he was,! coming on me with an a*xe and I had, to do something.” That, according to Bost in his testi mony at the hearing, was his reason for j, shooting. He and Vanderburg had been together the night before the sliootipg, ' alf the day of the shooting and thsre , had been no trouble. Just before dusk, however, Bost said, Vanderburg told Idm he was going home. Later the witness 1 said he saw Vanderburg coming to his J house again. Vanderburg, according to ] Boat, laid down and started kicking. 1 “Don’t kick the wire in the door,” the defendants said he told Vanderburg, and Vanderburg later said “I’ve got a gun ’ in my pocket and I’m going to shoot you.” Vanderburg left the house then, Bost said, and in a few minutes he saw him j coming toward the porch with an axe in hand. It was then he shot, Bost said, and when he shot Vanderburg.had ' the axe raised as though to strike. Van- 1 derburg was right at the porch steps 1 when he fired, Bost said. ' Bost said that he was standing in a door of his dining room when he shot. 1 The door was about two feet from where 1 Vanderburg was standing. < Bost said that he shot twice and laid 1 his' pistol back in the room where he stayed most of the time. He unloaded ] it and placed the cartridges on the fire board he said. He declared that he did not know what became of the pistol later. 1 After the shooting he went to the home of Bd. Biggers and got the latter to take him to the home of Frank Smith. Bost said. At the Smith home he said he told them of the shootißg. but did not j tell them at first who had been shot. ] He said be told Biggers and Smith that ( the man he shot was coming on him , with an axe and this statement was corroborated later by Biggers. ( On cross-examination Bost said Van- ( derburg brought, a jug of wine to his , home on Monday night before the shoot- | ing on Tuesday night, and that Vander- ( burg was drinking Monday night and , Tuesday. | Asked if he took any of the wine Bost replied that he took just a swallow to ' show Vanderburg that he was not mad | with him, as the latter had charged whets-. Bost refused to drink at all. Vander burg spent Monday night with him and j was there all day Tuesday, Bost said, j The prosecution during cross-examina titon asked Bost if he shot Vanderburg * in some woods near his home anil the < defendant replied “no.” The defendant s also declared that he saw an auto or ' buggy in a blind road that leads behind i his barn, and that he heard no shots ex- 1 cept the he fired. > i Bost under cross-examination stuck to I his story that he and Vanderburg had been friendly during the day but he ad- j mltted that he had called Biggers and Smith on the night of the shooting be- ■ cause his closer neighbors were “kinder mad” with him. Bost also declared th'at to him it’ap- . peared the axe dropped over Vander- : burg’s shoulder after he shot and he de- - nied that he touched the axe after the shooting. Borit said when he saw Vanderburg coming with the axe be picked up a pis tol off of table in dining room where he kept it 'most of the time.

LA FOLLETTE CALLED “ARCH-DEMAGOGUE” Says People : Must Resist Such Attempts as Senator La Follette Has Made to Weaken Power of Courts. i Chicago, Oct. (By the Associated Press).—The political views of Robert La Follette independent candiate for President, were attacked at today’s ses sion of the American Bankers Associa tion general convention.

Edgertoa, president of the Na tional Association of Manufacturers. Mr. Edgerton declared “the elements of distrust and suspicion, prejudice and hatred, discontent ami vengeance have been multiplied and are being brought together in a dangerous power, by an enterprising genius from Wisconsin who is never happy except when conspicuous as either a destructionist or obstruction ist.” Except for the human element of re sponsiveness of the egotistic to the ap peal of the demagogue, he declared “that arch-demagogue, LaFollette, and all oth er demagogues would be compelled to find some useful employment for their mis applied talents.” “If there is anything against which the citizenry of our country should hurl its resistance,” he continued, ”it is the im pudently recurring attempts of charla tans in various disguises to weaken the arm of our, courts by cunningly devised statutes and amendments to the consti tution. “One of the proposals which embody the.evidence of these fatal tendencies is the so-called child labor amendment. It ■fer meant ♦o resttti?rwwfiuction mid com-, pel uneconomic advances in wages and to expand powers of tiie federal govern ment so as to require creations of more public offices and further excuse for raising the cost of government.” EASTERN CAROLINA IS RECOVERING FROM FLOODS Beeiieved Most of Largest Rivers Have Reached Chest of Flbd (By the Associated Press.)
