Investigation The article which appeared in the Saturday Charlotte Observer concerning the 29-year-old search for the killer of Louis M. Davies stated that the search may soon end. Louis Davies was a resident of this community at the time he was shot while raiding a still in Pamlico County in 1930. Mr. and Mrs. Davies built the house which is now the A. J. Hanner residence. He was a brother of Mrs. Donald Eifort. Mrs. Davies, who now resides in Sebring, Ohio, is a sister of Mrs. David Wilson. The man who shot Mr. Davies was identified as Solomon Guion, a Negro, who fled and disappeared into the woods fol- lowng the shooting. Donald Eifort, a special inves tigator with the Federal Alcdhol Division, asked for and received permission to search for the Ne gro and has been doing that whenever possible for the past 29 years. Last week a crippled Negro, Solomon Williams, was taken into the Queen Anne’s County jail of Maryland by a State Trooper on a charge of va grancy. Donald Eifort and the Sheriff of Pamlico County are now checking residents of the county who remember Solomon Guion and will take them soon to Maryland to try to identify him.
