Young Woman Seeks Aid Here After
Relating Strange Story Of Events
Forced To Drive
All Night In Rain,
She Tells Officers
An attractive, well dressed
young wife and mother of Rich
mond, Va., in the Southern Pines
police station Friday sobbed out
a story of all-night terror which
had left her dazed, not even
knowing where she was.
Mrs. John E. Wolfe, 29, said
hysterically that a Negro who
had hidden in her car made her
drive him all night from near
Richmond along back roads, in
pouring rain.
She was in the police station for
help, which Wcis given to her.
There were no charges of any
sort. Since she said she could not
under any circumstances identify
the Negro, and the events she
described had taken place she
did not know where, but many
miles'away, there was no action
to be taken. Police contacted her
husband in Richmond and he
came Friday night and took her
home.
her 11-year-old son there to visit
his grandparents. Her other child,
a six-year-old girl, she had left
with hen sister at Richmond. She
had gone to Lexington prepared
to drive on further and visit her
othey sisters at Roanoke, Va., but
then decided to turn around and
go home instead.
She said she became faint while
driving and stopped her car be
side the highway; that a patrol
man came to her aid, took her to
the patrol station, gave her some
medicine and let her rest there
for a couple of hours, when she
felt well enough to resume her
journey.
She estimated she was about
30 miles from her home when she
stopped at a small village to tele
phone her husband and tell him
she was on the way. Returning to
her car, she had driven just a
little way further when, she said,
the voice of a Negro man spoke
up from the back seat, telling her,
“Do as I tell you and I won’t
hurt you.”
Terrified, she said she did not

by State Highway Patrolman E.
Shomaker from whom she sought
help. She told Mrs. Cornelia
Vann, police clerk, that she
“came to” in a dazed condition
at a service station and asked the
proprietor to call a patrolman,
which he did. This was Moore’s
Service Station between South
ern Pines and Pinehurst.
Mrs. Wolfe said she was on her
way home from Lexington, Va.
Thursday evening after leaving
following his directioijs, which
took her and her unwelcome pas
senger off the highway along
country roads.
This went on all night long, in
poiiring rain, at times circling
about as, she said, she recognized
certain places she “knew they
had passed before.”
She spoke to the Negro only
one time, to tell him, “If you
touch me I’ll speed up to 100
miles an hour and crash into a

tree.” This, she declared, she seri
ously considered, and at one
point actually made the effort to
cause a crash as “fehe neared a big
bridge but found she could not do
it. However, the naan did not
touch or otherwise harm her.
Just before daylight, she said,
he made her stop the car for him
to get out. He asked her if she
had any money and she gave him
$10, telling him she had more but
“that was all I could give him or
I would not have any money to
get home.” At that time she
glimpsed him for the first time,
but only briefly.
He left her then, at a point in
the country where no houses
were in sight. She continued to
drive, not knowing where she
was nor in which direction she
was going. She thought she went
through the city of Durham twice.
Appsirently thinking she was
headed north, she was in fact
driving south. She did not “come
to” from her fright and hysteria
until she reached the nearby
service station about 10:30 a. m.
While there were several
strange angles to the story, Mrs.
Vann said there was no doubt of
the woman’s upset emotional con
dition, which she described as re
sembling a state of shock.
Reached by ' telephone at his
place of business, the Universal
Ford plant at Richmond, her hus
band planned to fly to Relaigh at
once but could not do so. There
were other phone calls, as first
one plane flight and then the
next was grounded because of
weather conditions. He finally
took a bus to Raleigh, where he
was met by a Raleigh Ford dealer
whom Mrs. Vann called at his re
quest, and who drove him to
Southern Pines late at night.
In the meantime Mrs. Wolfe ap
peared to recover somewhat from
her fright and said she felt able
to drive to Raleigh to meet him.
Officer Rogers said he would ac
company her to Highway 1 to
show her the way, b«rt as she
started fo step into her ear she
appeared all at once completely
exhausted, handed Mm her keys
and said, “'1 just can’t do* it.” He
tcok her to a local hotel where
she slept until her husband! came.
