Convict Negroes
Stealing Cotton

Summons To Court Joel li. |
l ee. Who Bought The Cot- j
Ion
-4
A case in Recorder’s court here
Wednesday in which William and
Percy Boylan, neg-roes of Cleve
land township, were convicted of
stealing seed cotton, seems to have
more implications than were at
fast apparent. Two more negroe;,
Raymond Wilkinson and Arthur
Sanders, have been brought to jail
a warrant has been served on
B. Lee to whom the negroes
the cotton.
Wednesday morning when Kirby j
p. Rose of this city, who super
intends the Myatt farm in Cleve
land township for W. P. Rose of j
Goldsboro, went out to the farm, j
he found missing about 300 pounds
of seed cotton which had been left j
in the held over night by a
ngero tenant. Mr. Rose with Dep- j
uty I*. L. Wood of Cleveland town- j
ship found tracks of what appear- j
ed to be three persons near where j
the cotton was in the
cotton patch. These tracks j
were followed and William and
Percy Boylan were arrested. They
were brought immediately to Re- I
corder’s court and were tried, the
judge finding them guilty and im
posing on each a sentence of six,
months on the roads.
The officer had reason to believe ;
that all the offenders had not been
apprehended, and during the day
continued work on the case. In
the afternoon, Raymond Wilkin
son and Arthur Sanders were ar
rested and by one of these a con
fession of the theft was made.
The whole story of how they took
the cotton and carried it for some
distance and of how later they
sold it to Joel B. Lee for five
cents a pound, was told the offi
cer. This case was tried in Re
corder’s court yesterday after
noon, and each defendant was giv
en also a sentence of six months
on the roads. Counsel for the de
fense, however, asked the judge to
preserve the right to change sen
tence after hearing the case of
Joel B. Lee which has been set for
Tuesday week.

COMMISSIONERS POWER
RALEIGH. Nov. 12.—The idea
seems to be prevalent that the
11)27 session of the General Assem
>ly broadened the powers of tho
■ounty commissioners in respect
o issuing bonds, this idea is er
roneous.
The old laws allowed sales of
>onds without a vote of the peo
>le unless there existed a local
niblic law governing the sale of
>onds in the county proposing to
ell bonds, and very few counties
lad such a law. The 11)27 session
)laced safe guards not only around
he issuance of bonds but on giving
short term notes.
Bonds may be issued under the
027 Act for two purposes with
>ut a vote of the people. First, for
he purpose of refunding* bonds
vhich are due or to become due in
he near future; second, to fund
he valid indebtedness outstand
ng on July 1, 1027, at the time
he new county government law
vent into efect. In neither of these
'ases is new indebtedness created.
?or any other purpose, the law

nissioners to submit the bond is

Mystery Veils
Death Of Mrs.
Elsie Snipes
Former Princeton Woman Is
Shot In Her Richmond
Apartment; John W. Faison
Is Held In Jail
RICHMOND, Va„ Nov. Hi.—
Coroner Whitfield performed an j
autop.sy this afternoon in an ef-,
fort to ascertain whether Mrs.
Elsie Holt Snipes, pretty music
teacher of this city, formerly of
Princeton, N. C., victim of a pis
tol bullet wound in the head, was
in a delicate condtion or not. He
announced after the operation that
it failed to disclose any evidence
that she was in such a condition, j
Decision to perform the autop- J
sy was reached when John W.
Faison, 35, secretary and manager 1
of the Hermitage Country Club, a
married man with five small chil
dren, held on suspicion of having
murdered her, told police that he
was under the impression that she
was in that condition.
HUSBAND IN PRINCETON.
According: to the police, Faison
also said that he was planning to
divorce his wife so as to clear the
way for marrying her. Papers
found in Mrs. Snipes apartment,
where she received the fatal wound
about an hour after midnight, in
dicated that she had already been
divorced from her husband, I. A.
Snipes, of Princeton, and that she
had two small sons living with '
their father there. Faison had
been going with her since last
June and, according to letters ad
dressed to the woman bearing his
signature, was deeply infatuated
with her. In her trunk were found
half a dozen or more blank checks
sig-ned by him. When questioned
by the police he insisted that she '
shot herself. He told them that im
mediately after she fired the fatrJ
shot into her temple he picked her '
up and rushed her to Stuart Cir- '
de hospital in his automobile. She
arrived there in an unconscious
condition and remained in that
state until she died at 4:50 a. m.
rALKEI) WITH FAISON’S WIFE
Police learned that she had \
talked over the phone with Mrs. J
Faison just before she was shot. 1
A pool of blood under a chair near
the phone indicated that the fatal
>hot was fired while she was seat
?d in the chatr. The blood was
’till dripping from the back of it
when police detectives arrived on 4
the scene. In his investigation,
- oroner Whitfield found that the ]
bullet entered the forehead just
aver the right eye and that the '
eyebrow was powder scorched. On !
the floor near the chair lay a big 4
.38 calibre red Spanish special re
volver with one chamber discharg
ed. Another small weapon of the
vest pocket automatic type was
found lying on the bed. Its cham
bers were all loaded. The bullet '
pierced the woman’s head and fell
on the bed. 1
FAISON OWiNEI) REVOLVERS. ,
Faison admitted ownership of
both revolvers. Examination of !
the phone disclosed that the re
ceiver was off the hook. The
phone operator told the police that
it had been off the hook since 1
a. m. She declined to say whether
she heard the report of the re
volver, explaining' that she was ■
not permitted to disclose such in
formation. Mrs. Faison denied
that she heard the pistol shot. She
told the police that Mrs. Snipes
had called her in response to a
request from her made earlier in
the night, that she be advised
when her husband arrived there.
Faison said that he was in the
act of placing a record on the
phonograph when Mrs. Snipes shot
herself.
Mrs. Snipes came here several
iyeara ago from Princeton. She
was apparently about 35 years old.
Arraigned in police court today
Faison was remanded to jail in
default of $10,000 bond. Coroner
Whitfield was undecided tonight as
to when he would hold an inquest.
Mrs. Faison indicated today that
she would stand by her husband
until his guilt or innocence is es

all his time to the lecture plat

newspaper editor. The information*
he has and the suggestions he
makes are the result of years of
practical experience in solving the
community problem^ he talks
about.
Following his appearance before
the Advertising-Selling League of
Omaha, last December, Secretary
F. O. Malm wrote that he had
scored one of the biggest hits of the
season. “We have had numerous
letters and telephone calls,” stated
Secretary Malm, “asking us to set
aside our rule and repeat Mr. Plat

this as the highest possible compli
ment, because it is the only time
this has happened so far this year.
Mr. Plattenburg* is just the type
of speaker that our members en

their chairs for an hour. His mes
sage is timely, covers lots, of ter
ritory and is delivered in excel
