Pfc. Scotty Burns, stationed at
Frankfurt, Germany, is one of our
loyal Pilot readers—and this week
we were made very happy by a
message from him, passed on by
his mother, Mrs. Howard Bums.
Wrote Scotty, “I think I speak for
the whole crowd in saying that
the little things in The Pilot make
it worth its weight in gold to the
servicemen. You can’t help but
know that the ‘folks at home’
haven’t forgotten, and it sure
helps, believe me. Mom!”
Scotty also sent thanks for
Christmas cards which reached
him from Southern Pmes. It was
his first Christmas away from
home, and he was kind of home
sick—especially since he had to
work, and couldn’t accept the in
vitation of Major and Mrs. Ben
Bradin to spend Christmas with
them at Bremerhaven. That would
have been a touch of home, and
he says he hopes to pay them a
visit later.
Scotty is a member of the 7370th
! ^rvice squadron, doing clerical
work in the headquarters for the
European Air Command.

a mystery, as stories of the prin
cipals conflict. The shotgun, own
ed by Willie Lee (alias Harry)
Hainesworth, brother of Thomas
Earl, went off in the midst of
a struggle between Willie Lee
and Willie Ransom. Another Wil
lie, listed on the police record as
William Hancock, was the third
party in the affray.
The affair took place in front
of “Virginia Jackson’s place,” a
west side juke joint, where the
three men named Willie exchang
ed words, then blows, with va
rious weapons. As the shotgun
came into play Thomas Earl,
who wasn’t in the fight, just hap
pened by.
After “the law” was called in
dictments flew thick and fast. On
evidence and irrformation at the
scene, the police arrested Willie
Lee Hainesworth for assault with
deadly weapon, to wit, shotgun
and bottle, on Willie Ransom.
Hainesworth took out a war
rant against Ransom charging as
sault with deadly weapon, to wit,
a knife, and chasing him.
Ransom took out warrants
against both Hainesworth and
Hancock, charging assault with
deadly weapon—to wit, a shot
gun, as to Hainesworth, and a bot
tle, as to Hancock, with an addi
tional charge lodged against Han
cock of aiding and abetting in the
shotgun assault.
All were bonded for their ap
pearance in Moore County record
ers court Monday, January 28, or
as soon thereafter as Thomas-Earl
Hainesworth is out of the hospital
and able to testify.
