28 to 30 Years; Pleads Guilty
PRISONER TELLS
HOW HE KILLED
BETHEL OFFICER
o
Says Policeman Jones Fired
At Him First, When He
Tried to Escape
HIS STORY DOUBTED
•
State Accepts Plea of QuOty of Mur
dar in Second Degree; Number
* Witnesses Testify
•
Pleading guilty of second degree
inurder here before Judge Smsll in
the superior court Wednesday after
noon. Togo Pulley was sentenced to
from 28 to 30 years at hard labor in
the State's prison for killing Eugene
Jones, Bethel policeman, on the night
of January 19. The case was called
at 4 o'clock, and an hour and ten min
utes later* the judge passed the sen
tence, one that apparently Pulley and
his relatives willingly accepted.
While there was some talk as to the
State asking for conviction of murder
in the first degree, last-minute ar
raagements provided for the accept
ance of the second degree charge en
tered by Pulley through his attorney,
D. L. Ward, jr., New, Bern attorney.
Throughout the day numbers of spec
tators followed the court procedure,
and when the case was called the au
ditorium was crowded with spectators
anxious to glimpse the notorious mur
derer. Pulley's 19-year-old wife and
her 10-months-old baby were seated
by him, while Mrs. Jones, the widoW
of the murdered policeman, and her
oldest daughter, both bearing the
marks of sorrow and grief over the
loss of husband and father, heard the
case from their sests just back of So
licitor Gillian^
The case had been called a very few
minutes before the court's machinery
was placed in operation. Coroner S.
R. Biggs was placed on the stand as
the State's first witness. Mr. Biggs
stated that he was notified between 7
and 8 o'clock Sunday morning, Janu
ary 20, that a dead man had been
found on the Williamston-Hamilton
road. He left immediately and reach
ed the scene of the murder at the in
tersection of the road from Roberson
ville with the Williamston-Hamilton
highway 30 minutes later. He saw the
man Who had been identified as Po
-1 iceman Eugene Jones, of Bethel, ly
ing on his face dead. The coroner
continued, "There was a large crowd
at the scene when I reached th£re, and
an examination of the body was start
ed. I discovered that it had been shot
in the upper part of the chest, in the
left aide of the abdomen, through one
finger on the left hand, through the
left hand and left arm, in the left side
of the back, in the left hip and a last
one in the back. Several bullets fired
frogi a 38-caliber pistol were removed
front the body by Bethel doctors." Mr.
Biggs offered a diagram of the spot
whvc the murder was committed,
stating that it appeared as if one or
two people had been standing in the
road and mentioned the signs where a
mail's hand had struck the ground,
leaving a print of all the fingers and a
hole made apparently by the stock of
a pistol. The coroner stated that 14
feef from that spot the first sign of
blood was seen, and that
blood splotches leading to the place
where the body was found.
Chief of Police S. H. Martin, of
Bethel, was the next to take the stand,
and hi* evidence dealt more with the
detail* just prior to the killing. Mr.
Martin stated that he saw Jones in the
Chevrolet car near a cafe in Bethel
late Saturday njght, and Pulley was at
(he wheel. Pulley had no coat on at
that time, he having placed it on the
back of the *eat. "I went to the car

TO STATE PRISON
♦
14 Hacksaw Blades Taken
From Him After Being
Put in Jail Here
—•
Togo Pulley, sentenced from 28 to
30 years in the State's prison for the
murder of Eugene Jones, started his
service there last night shortly aft
er 10 o'clock, Sheriff Roebuck ami
Deputy Grimes leaving here with the
prisoner about 8 o'clock. "We had no
trouble whatever in carry him there,"
Sheriff Roebuck stated this morning.
"Pulley talked freely, stating that he
was through," the sheriff continued.
Pulley stated that he had no desire
to attempt to escape, but the officers!
did not try him out when he stated
that they could give him an opportun
ity to escape aad ha would not run.
Prison officials stated that Pulley's
record had beat him to Raleigh, and
that they would take care of him.
Srtipped of 14 hacksaw blades,
the murderer enters the prison help
less. Before his capture in Henderson,
the man had gathered the blades ami
had them while in the Greenville jail.
Other prisoners in the Jail saw the
blades, but they were afraid to tell
officers until Pulley had been remov
ed to the jail here. He was searched
here, Sheriff Roebuck stating that the
14 blades were wrapped in as neat a
package as any he had ever seen. The
blades were placed next to one of his
legs wrapped in a piece of blanket.
Pulley stated he made no attempt to
saw his way out while in the Green
ville jail or the one here, for he
knew the bars in the two jails were
not to be sawed very easily.
that he had Pulley under arrest, that
the arrested man wanted the police
man to go with him to Robersonville,
where Pulley stated he could get bond
from hi* uncle, Silas Jones being Riv
en as the name of the man. I - told
Jones not to go and stated that I would
not go 10 feet with that man (Pulley)
to get bond. I did offer to assist in
placing the man in jail, but Jones said
he hated to put him in jail as he had
acted very clever. Pulley then .said he
would have Jones back in 30 minutes,"
Mr. Martin continued. Pulley with
the policeman left shortly after mid
night, and the police chief said that
he began to look for Jones about 1.30.
Mr. Martin was up all night and the
next morning he and a Mr. White
hurst, of Bethel, came to Williamston
in an effort to find some trace of the
missing offioer. We were told by
Mrs. A. L, Roebuck that a man had
been found dead on the Hamilton-
Williamston road. When we reached
there we found a large number of
people at the scene.
A search of the policeman's clothes
\va# made, and the officers foupd the
warrant and the unsigned bond'in the
sum of SIOO which was to have been
given for Pulley's appearance before
Justice of the Peace C. M. Burton in
Bethel the following Monday morning
at 9:30 o'clock. The pistol carried by
the policeman when lie left Bethel was
missing, though his watch, and 25
cents in change was still in Ms pock
ets. Mr. Martin concluded his evi
dence by stating that Jones was about
35 years of age, weighed about 170
pounds and was 5 feet and 9 inches
tall. '
C. M. Burton, jsutice of the peace
in Bethel, talcing the stand next, stated
that he was called about midnight of
January 20, to give J'ulley, charged
with stealing a small wire, a hearing.
He also stated that bond was fixed at
SIOO and that Pulley, alias Wilbur
Jones, asked the policeman to go with
him to get his uncle in Robersonville
to sign the bond. The justice of the
peace advised the officer not to go,
but Pulley told Mr. Jones th*t he
I would pay him well if the favor was
rendered..
The fourth witness, Miss Ruth
Rouse, who near Butlers Bridge,
testified that she heard 4 or 5 shots
the night the officer was murdered. A
few minutes later she heard a car
leave, going toward Williamston or
Robersonville.
Learning of the trouble early Sun
day morning, Sheriff Whitehurst, of
Greenville, the next witness to testi
fy, stated that he left for Bethel,
where he wai joined by Mr. Staton,
the two going to Robersonville. The
first clue in the case was established
through the State automobile license
bureau, where it was learned that the
license of the car had been issued to
Mrs. Lillian Pulley, of Greenville.
Continuing with the evidence, the sher
iff stated, "Pulley was arrested in
Henderson Saturday night, a week
•go, by J. L. Cash and others. I had
notified the officers there to be on the
lookout for Pulley. I learned that
morning that Pulley's wife was going
to Henderson, and the arrival of Pnttey
was suspected. Immediately after the
arrest, I was notified and went there

Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics Urges Planting
Selected Seed
•The Bureau of Agriculture Eco
nomics, in its weekly report March 13,
l'>2B. says as fnlli>w« ■ .
"In order that peanut growers may
obtain as much bent-fit as possible from
the increased tariff rates on peanuts,
which are now effective, it is essential
tor growers to plant seed that will pro
duce as large a proportion as possible
of extra large Virginia shelled. This
is because of,the fact that most of the
imports have been of the extra large
size, and it is these that must be re
placed, so far as possible, in Virginia
and North Carolina, by increased plant
itigs, but primarily by planting more
carefully selected seed. Not only
should plantings be restricted to Vir
ginia Bunch and Jumbo varfcties, but
the seed peanuts should come from
fields or sections of fields that ran heav
ily 'ist year to vigorous high-produc
ing plants. I'lie method of screening
out large sue kernels regardless of the
productiveness of the strain is not suf
ficient. The use of lime will also tend
to increase the yield of large peanuts
on most farms in this area. The De
partment of Agriculture is joining with
commercial interests in Virginia anil
North Carolina to point thelie facts
out, believing that much increase in
acreage this year without a correspond
ing increase in the proportion of extra
large in 'the crop may prove unfor
tunate to the industry."

When asked how the birds released
last year were thriving in this section,
Mr. Hincs slated that the introduction
of the quail is proving highly satisfac
tory, that covies ranging from 1 to 12
birds in each have been spotted. Sev
eral hunters state that the birds do
not Hush as easily as the native quail,
that many in each covey run along on
the ground after others have taken

benefit, (or not as many birds can be
killed at a time.

search of more excitement. It had
been reported in the courthouse that
a man had been killed up town, and
many of the spectators rushed up
he re to see for themselves what had
happened, Upon learning that the
krtler of the Southern Pines man was
expected to come through here and
that nothing had happened here, the
crowds returned to the courthouse to
hear the criminal proceedings there.
The report coming from Bethel was
apparently unfounded as the killer of
Kelly' was reported seen near Char
lotte yesterday where he abandoned
a Buick car to take to the swamps.
