FAMILY OF DEAD GIRL SKEPTICAL OF LOVE THEORY Miss Jean Braswell, Killed in Mys tery Shooting. Braught to Charlotte for Burial. 1 Charlotte Observer. _The body of Miss Jean Braswell. 15-year-old girl, who w*as shot and 1 under mysterious circumstanc es Wednesday nighy near Saluda, was brought to Charlotte Thursday ■ for burial. During the afternoon yesterday a constant stream of visitors called at the North Tryon street residence to express their sympathy to the be reaved family. Members of the family spoke of the difficulty in ‘bringing themselves to believe that the girl was dead. That the tragedy was the result of a tri angular love affuir they declared was hard to believe. Her extreme youth and carefree manner made them skeptical of the theory of a serious love tangle. They also/ex pressed disbelief in the theory that there might be a third party in the shooting. 1 When found by residents of Sa luda, they said, the girl was sitting in a like-like position in the stripped down autoinobUe with her hands folded. Her jSmipanion. Q. C. Son ner, was found some distance away, dangerously wounded, i The. Sonner boy, who is said,.to be 21 years of age, was removed at once to a hospital. His subsequent utter ances have been incoherent for the most part, with reference to a “Jim mie” as the person who fired the bul lets. Dispatches from Tryon Thursday indicated that Sheriff McFarland has given up the search for “Jimmie,” believing that there is no such per son. Greensboro-\Y i Imington Car.

Within die past several weeks a I number of, Concord apd , Cabarrus, county people have been working oni U 'vropositiqn to get, an extension of j the Wilkinson Boulevard from Char lotte to Canard, the, route to follow the old Concord-Charlotte highway via tin 1 county homes of the two! counties. j Wlmt progress has been made is; hard to determine but it is reported! thnt scores of residents of tie city and'.county Imvq pledged support to I the proposition, feeling tjhe heavy* truffic on tlie present one-way high-* way warrants the double-tracking of the, road. , H . , I The Wilkinsou Boulevard is being built now between Charlotte <and Gaslpiiia to relieve traffic o* the pres-j ent road which is (tie. most congested 1 in *ife state, .accprding to statistics, It is tile hope of local people, it ia said, to get this boulevard continued |on to Concord, giving the state a two-way road on the highway that ranks third in traffic. Sipfe there is one paved road be tween. this city aml Charlotte the | boulevard plan calls for the paving of th<" road that runs via the Cabar rus gind Mecklenburg county homes. This feoad converges with the State highway at a point about five miles north of Chhrlotte, so the stretch to' be paved is only about 15 miles in length. Plans for the YVilkinson Boulevard, it is said, were made when it was seen 'that something was needed to care for the traffic between Charlotte and Gastonia, said to be the most! congested road in the state. Later similar conditions arose between* Greensboro ami High Point ami that* road is to be doubled in width mak-j ing it in reality a boulevard. This road is said to rank second in traffic i volume. The Concord-l ’haijptte road, it isi said, ranks third in amount of traffic passing over it, and the agitation for tlie continuance of the boulevard was started by those persons who feel that it is only a question of time until something will have tq J»e done with the traffic here and that it would be wise to continue the boulevard which is now under construction.. One of tbe arguments being ad vanced by advocates of the boulevard plan is that the county gave the State about $300,000 to be used on the road to Mt. Pleasant aqd that the State could refund this money in the form of the boulevard. If this could be done, say, these people, then the build ing of this boulevard road would not, interfere with any ot'aer project in the county. , The fujl amount paid by the coun ty on the Mt. Pleasant road is not known, proponents ,of the boulevard plan have been told, but it is ex pected to run in the neighborhood of S3OO,OQS. One estimate was $285,- 1 (KH) and another $205,000. Much of j the boulevard in Cubarrus could be built with this sum, it ,is pointed out by those persons who hope to see the new road to. Charlotte a reality. It is : understood that Commission er Wilkinson has not been approached on the subject of extending the boule vard named for him', from Charlotte to Concord. Proponents of the plaa \ huve been told that Mr. YVilkinson ; would hardly act favorably on the .j proposition unless JJie.countj highway < commission unanimously favored the project and it is said such unanimity i is now lacking. There are other i road* in the county, it i* reported, I which mime of tbe commissioners want the State to take over and they are not’.willing to endorse the Char lotte boulevard plan to the detriment of their own plans. It js further stated by persons Who have bfien working on the proposition that there is no certainty that Mr. YVilkinson . will accept these other roads, as State highways, so that prop osition seems to be somewhat np in the air* A majority of the people of the* county unquestionably want as many roads, as possible accepted #s State highways, bat at the saipe time there are scores of people who feel that eventually the second rqad to Char lottle will have to be ittiffit and they want to get the proposition before Mr. Wilkinson without delay. , Sixteen stake events are on the u ' efr summef meeting of which -will get under way «t the Yonkers course on Jui, T. . j vi»nl the I). V. C. B. The Men's tlrotherhpod of the church promoted the school; however', the church use a whole, has co-operated ill carrying on the work. This 's the first experience, of this church, iu conducting a Daily Vaca tion Bjble School. The results have been most gratifying, and it is felt that a foundation has been laid for a great work of this nature, in the fu-. ture. The attendance at the school was large throughout. The picture above does not represent all the children that were in the school, as some were absent at the time the photograph was made. Practically every denomination in the city has been repfesented in the school by the children attending, and the children and teachers have worked and played together. They all feel that they have accomplished some thing. and all certainly had ‘/big l times’" on the picnics gaeli Friday dur ing “school days”. • , " i.i ns. ii. i i ■■ ■ | Weds Ince ; V W llh. tr ' ».&. mmR. - •; WNMR i pH K jjl I I H^r. i laSph Jince, movie producer, obtained a license to marry film actress, ' Didn’t Publish the Ad.
