await trial.
Screams Bring Rescue
According to the story the woman
told the officers, Everett forced her
to drink liquor from a half gallon
container until she was intoxicated.
W^hile she \vas in this condition, she
states be beat her, forced her to dis
robe and after taking her jewelry and
ornaments picked her up and threw
her over the bridge into the yawning
w^aters below. She was unable to
swim, but fortunately she landed on
a sand bar in water up to her neck.
There she stood in what almost
amounted to quicksand for hours, ex
pecting every minute to be her last.
On hearing the approach of a* car,
she would rend the air with terrible
screams.
Finally, the woman’s story contin
ued, a passing motorist heard her sig
nal of distress, and getting out to in
vestigate, learned of her predicament.
The motorist went for help, and af
ter a boat was secured with much
difficulty, her rescue was soon af
fected.
After reporting the incident to Vir^
ginia authorities, the w’oman came
back to Moore county and reported
the attempt to take her life to the
local authorities.

Of losing your home, your business buildings or
