lWATERFIELD hunt unavailing Girl's Alleged Slayer Believed to be Miles Away from Island Now Sheriff Bob Flora Returns to Cur K rituck Courthouse Weary and Empty Handed, After Having Run Down Available Clues Empty handed, and wearied by many hours of unavail ing search, Sheriff Bob Flora, of Currituck, returned to Cur rituck Courthouse at noon today on his way home from Knott's Island, after having run down every available clue to the whereabouts of (Jeorge Waterfield, sought in connec tion with the fatal shooting of Miss Bertha Ansel I. aged 17, and the wounding of her escort, William Tatcm, in front ol Waterfield's home early Tuesday night. In a long distance tele-' phone message to The Daily Advance here this afternoon at 1 o'clock, E. R. Johnson, of Currituck Courthouse, merchant and member of the State General Assembly from that county, stated that Sher iff Flora went directly from the boat which had brought him from Knott's Island to a waiting automobile, and left apparently headed for his home in Shawboro. Others in the party stated that 110 def inite trace of Waterfield had been found. Hiding In Virgin!*? II In believed now that Water /l?ld made his way In a small boat B from the Island to the Currituck , "Vach. and probably later crowd \ back to the mainland In Virginia. His boat Is Maid to be mlxxlng from I the landing at which he kept it | moored. It is a small craft, with out a motor. Koporta from the Coast Guard Btatlon at Kalscape, 10 to 1 2 miles from Knott's Island, state that a small boat of the general descrip tion of WatcrAcld'a was sighted in Currituck .Sound, near there, but Was not observed to make a land ing. This lends color to the the ory that the alleged fugitive made hla way to the mainland. Persons familiar with the terri tory around Knott's Island say that It would have been next to Impossible for Waterfleld to have made his way across Currltuek Sound, and that his escape from the Island to the north would have been blocked by Great Marsh, a deep morass. They de clare. however, that, being thor oughly familiar with the shallow waters around the Island, he could readily have made his way cant wardly to the beach, and thence cpuld have gone north to the head waters of Currituck Hound, where ha could have reached the main land without difficulty. New l.igtii cm Motive Late reports from Knott's Isl and tend to cast additional light on the motive behind the shoot Ing. It Is claimed that Water field's wife had carried a suitcase filled with clothing to the home of the slain girl's father. Samuel Anaell, and (hat later Waterman JKarned of It, and went to Ansell's Vome, there accusing Miss Ansel! of having had something to do with it. Tatcm and the girl are said to have gone to the Waterfleld home on the late afternoon of the shoot ing, to "have It out " with Water fleld over the eplnodo. Waterfleld was last seen in his little boat, headed for the beach, according to reports crurent at Currituck Courthouse. These re- I ports are given little weight by many at the courthouse, however, the doubters inclining to the the ory that Waterfleld made his way Into Virginia aa quickly as ' he could.

PLAN TO FINISH HOTEL FINANCING SUGGESTED NOW Ilontelry of Thoroughly I Modern Type lo Tout Half Million; More >lo my I* Badly Needed BOND ISSUE MKKI.Y O. KohinMHi, l*re*i<lriit of f,or|>oratio!i. Would I^'t Wingn of Hotel Harry the Burden As plans fur the in w Vlftliili I?are Hotel near t liolr final King**. j It Ih becoming apparent that to erect it hostelry of the thoroughly \ modern type desired will require till* expenditure of half a million dollars. Instead of the $.t."iti.ooo which It was thought at first , would In* sufficient. according to1 I*. O. IIoIiIiinoii. president of thej Kllzabctli City Hotel Corporation, 'which will build and manage the hotel. Th?? corporation is determined to const r lie t a hotel whlcli in ar chitectural design and Interior ap point mcnts will he a real credit to ICIizaheth City for jnany yea rs to i come. Mr. Itoblusou nays. Instead of skimping In variouH ways to ' keep the cost within the amount subscribed In the huge communi ty financing campaign conducted during the spring. In all. $355.-' 000 wan raised In the drive. At a recent meeting, the hoard of directors of the hotel asked the hotel executive committee to nu li mit a plan whereby the additional money needed may beat be ralsnd. The committee ban not reported yet. In discussing the situation. Mr. ' Roblnaon stated that he felt sure the money could be ralaed with- \ out in any way Jeopardizing the Interests of the original stock holders ? In fact, he offered posi tive aHRiirance that their Interest* would not be jeopardized, lie of- ' fered a plan whereby the proposed ' arcade from the hotel to Main at reel, and stores, a hotel garage and a filling station on the Poln dexter and Fearing street aides of the hostelry, might he made the security for a bond 'Issue to supply the additional funds required. Mr. Robinson figures that an Investment of $100,000 in these, properties, separata from the main , hotel building, would bring in a ! yearly revenue of $12.0110 to $14.-' 000, thereby taking care of the In terest and retirement of the bonds, i and contributing substantially to ; the income of the hotel also. In detail. Mr. Robinson esti mates that the stores and offices In the Main street arcade should bring In $7,000 to $!i.ono H year, on and Investment of $?0.000. On1 I I he Polndexter street aide, the ho tel corporation has received op tions on the entire property, from , the McCabe it (Irlce department .store to the Intersection of Fear-' Ing street, at a total of $27.fion. Mr. Itoblnson declared a bulld j Ing housing three stores and a ho-1 tel garage can be built for $12.f?nn, making the total Investment there $40,000. In addition, he believes the corner could be rented for a filling station, and the entire prop erty should bring in at least $400 , a month, or close to $f?.ooo a j year. Thus a total revenue of $12, 000 to $14,000 annually would, accrue from that original invest-' , ment of $100,000, he says. im?h;i<am of hacks AT FAIR <;IMH!!NI>S The borne racing program .which rouM not hp hpld on July I 6. on account of rain, will bp flv 1 en tomorrow afternoon at 2:'?0 [o'clock at thp fair grounda.
