Page Eight THE PILOT—Soutbern Pines. Nortb Carolina HENRY BRADFORD (Continued from Page 1) Christmas. We are going to have a good Christinas dinner: pork, chicken^ fish, doughnuts and sev eral other things. We have a big Christmas tree, all fixed up. We will have a very nice Christmas. We will have to thank the Chi nese for it alL “We also had a nice Thanksgiv- ^ing, had our pumpkin pie. Guess * we will have it for Christmas too. *I hope you have a very merry » Christmas and a happy New Year. ^ For Thanksgiving we had apples, i pears, peanuts, candy, cookies. We will have them for Christmas too. Well, darling, tell the rest hello ' and give them my love. So long ' for this time. A1 my love. Your husband, Henry Bradford.” “If he coud have said what he wanted I know he would have sent messages to the children,” : said Mrs. Bradford, mother of two little daughters. “Why, Tink le was just a little more than a Friday.

I shall ever be grateful for her service and loyalty to me. “I regret exceedingly to have to accept Miss Davis’s resignation, but I wish for her the very best tof everything in the years to come.” C.

The sheriff would like to that much, that he would just. man sent here instead write about food, when he would Kentucky, to save the time know there were so many other things we wanted to know,” sigh ed his wife. “Why he doesn’t even LIKE pumpkin pie!” Eecognizing the preciousness of this particular letter, the post of- I fice gave it special service, tele- . phoning Mrs. Bradford at 7:30 a. m. Friday that it was there. She practically flew the few blocks to the post office to get it, One of the first things she did on receiving it was call Corporal Bradford’s brother at High Shoals, Ill. Two brothers and a sister live there. Only one has a telephone. His parents are dead. In the week since it arrived, the penciled note has been almost worn out from being passed around among Mrs. Bradford’s , relatives, her fellow workers at ■ the (Central Carolina , Telephone . company, and other friends of * ttem both. “I’m going to have to '* frame it or something,” said Mrs. * Bradford. “This is something we’ll want to keep forever.” She hopes, though, there will be others to add to it—or better still, that the truce talks at Pan- munjom reach a better stage of negotiation soon, and she will see her big husband come walking in the door. The return address penciled on the letter’s plain envelope was: Cpl. Henry Bradford RA 36305824, POW Camp Korea, c]o Chinese Peace Committee For World Peace and Against Aggression, Peking, China. and expense of a trip, but it seems that isn’t the way the Army does things. All the men are said to have confessed to their part in the crime—which, however, does not mean that it will be a simple case, in the sheriff’s view. He said he had hoped the Army, which con ducted the investigation leading ceeded to give chase. Two Injured Just south of Scotties Motor Court, about halfway to South ern Pines, the patrolman reported, she hit a car containing several Negroes. The crash flung the Ne groes car 180 feet along the shoul der, buckling up the rear. Injur- jed were the driver, Winston Cov ington, 48, of Tatum, S. C., and Cora Mae Gillis, 24, of Rocking ham. Mrs. Henry drove right on— with John Ferguson right behind. He told the patrolman later she flashed through Southern Pines as if it wasn’t there, nar rowly missing a couple of cars. Chasing the Studebaker about nine miles in all, he twice caught up with it and twice forced it to stop—^but it got away each time, and would probably still be going if the radiator hadn’t burst and the en gine quit. Patrolman Lights Out Mrs. Henry turned into the Bill. Dot station, and Ferguson phoned the Southern Pines police station from there. Mr. Poe, on night duty, alerted the police car by radio, and they went to the wreck scene near Scotties and notified Patrolman Deal, who had answer, ed the wreck call. By then an ambulance from Southern Pines had picked up the injured, and he lit out pronto in BETTER HURRY Only about 2,200 motor ve hicle licenses out of an esti mated 9,000 for this area have been sold since December 1 at the Southern Pines Cham ber of Commerce office. Prospects are that a lot of vehicle owners will have to stand in line, and maybe miss out entirely, unless they quit putting off this essential pur chase. The 1951 license tags are good only through Janu ary 31, when the 30-day period of grace expires. Mrs. Emily Redding, Cham- Tuesday that 1,778 1952 auto ber of Commerce clerk, said licenses have been sold here; 368 truck licenses, 80 trailer licenses and five motorcycle licenses. That leaves a lot more to go. The local office is open from 9 a. m. to 12 noon, 1 to 4 p. m. QassiBed Ads WANTED: Saleslady for clerical work. Apply The Quality Shop, Aberdeen, N.

Others in the clerk of court’s praise, however, for the manner in which the investigation was conducted, and the brilliant de ductions which led to the location of five out of six of the accused men, and the arrest of four. The fifth man, Breland, is said to have taken the role of a state’s witness in the confessions. He is said not to have taken part in the mass at tack on the young woman, and to have protested the acts of the others, interfering to bring them to an end. Full briefs in the case have been submitted by the investiga ting CID to District Solicitor M. G. Boyette, who will handle the case before the grand jury and rf it comes to trial. ' The NAACP is said to have em ployed two Negro attorneys as private prosecutors, to assist Sol icitor Boyette in his work. The Sheriff said he did not think this was necessary. ■'We expect to con duct a fair trial in all respects, without prejudice either way,” he said. Difficulties Aliead That there are many difficulties ahead for the prose^ion, even if a true bill is found, is admit, ted by all concerned. Mrs. Lula Mac Artes, victim of the alleged rape, and an I8-year-oId eye wit ness, Paul Williams, have both said they would probably not be able to identify the attackers.

The following announcement of Miss Davis’ resignation, and per sonal tribute paid her by her su perior officer, was received by The Pilot; “I am very sorry to have to an nounce the resignation of Miss Ethel Davis as assistant clerk of the Superior Court of Moore county, effective January 12, 1952. “Miss Davis has been connected with the Clerk of Court’s office, in various capacities, for 23 years and during all of that time she has served the office, the lawyers, court officials and the general public most faithfully and effi ciently. Following the death of ‘the late John Willcox, she ably served as Clerk of the Superior Court from March 15, 1950 until December 4, 1950. “I dare say that Moore county has never had a more hard-work ing, earnest and efficient public servant. It is well known that dur ing the past several years she has worked many extra hours in an effort to keep the work in the Clerk’s office current, and never has she failed to carry more than her part ofr the load of the office since I have been Clerk. “I was so impressed with her ability and sound judgment that I recommended her appointment as Assistant Clerk of Superior Court, thereby conferring upon her the same power and author ity as the Clerk. “I am personally indebted to Miss Davis for the able and cour teous assistance which she has rendered me since I was elected Clerk of the Superior Court. She has been most cooperative and the two had just emerged after at tending service. Others in the group with them fled in fright when the Army truck, with its soIdi«“ occupants, drove among them, separating some from others. The soldiers are said to have grabbed two women, one of whom got away and ran. The other, with the teen-age youth, son of the church pastor, were seized and placed in the truck. Threatened With Gun The alleged attack took place in the woods nearby, close to a lighted home. They made no out cry, they said later, because the men threatened them with a gun, and even fired a couple of shots to show they weren’t fooling. The woman admitted she was confused about how many men there were, and how many attack ed her. A two-day interval elaps ed before a report was made to the sheriffs office. By that time the attackers had faded into the polyglot background of 110,000 men on maneuvers nearby. The Army’s Criminal Investigation department took over, but before much progress could be made the maneuvers ended, and the serv ice units dispersed to bases all over the nation. Mrs. Artes, mother of three young children, is the wife of a soldier. She lives in Baltimore, and was visiting relatives in the county when the events occurred. She has been subpoenaed in Balti more as prosecuting witness, and “I expect she’ll be here,” said Sheriff McDonald. Miss Mary E. Doyle Passes At Dorchester Word reached Southern Pines this week of the death of Miss Mary E. Doyle of Dorchester, Mass., a winter visitor here for a number of years.

While the cars she hit are said to have suffered considerable damage, her own, “built like a bulldozer,” is said to have come practically unscathed through the swift sequence of crashes. Covin^on’s car was reported totally demolished. At Moore County hospital it was learned that Covington was released Tuesday, with a badly brufsed-up right shoulefer; But that Cora Mae Gillis was still a patient, with probable internal i and back injuries.
