BODY OF WATERFIELD FOUND
Lying In Boat Where He
SoughttoMakeEscapej
From Sheriff and Posse
Coroner's Jury Impanelled to go
^ to the Spot Where Body Found
* and Make Investigation of Cause
of Fugitive's Death
The body of (Jeorge Waterficld, alleged sell' confessed
slayer of Herlha Ausell, 17-year-old Knolls Island girl, was
found in his own .boat near a little island in Black Hay on
the north end of Knolls Island at 1 1 o'clock this morning, ac
cording to a long distance telephone message from Currituck (
Courthouse received by The Daily Advance shortly after 12
o'clock this afternoon. ? 1
Indications were, according!
to reports reaching Currituck
Courthouse, that Waterfield
had been dead for some time)
but apparently not more than:
a few days. He has been |
missing three weeks.
A coroner's Jury is now boine :
impanelled to go to the spot wlien-1
the body wan found and hold all
luquest over it with a view lo a*- '
Certaining the cause of Water- j
Weld's death. The bod), reports i
froui Currituck nay, ha* not b.*eii i
touched or examined In auy way
since lis discovery and it is not
known whether the Investigation
of the coroner will show that Wat - :
erfleld came to death by violence,
by hi* own hand or otherwise, or ,
whether death wan the result of
natural raui.es.
The discovery of the body, It is
said, rani'' about purely as the re- I
suit of accident. Joe Lltchlleld of |
Knotts Inland, employe of one of I
the Currituck shooting clubs, was
ep?a^ed In some work In his boat I
?a the marshes this morning and I
feeing the boat adrift investigated
Vnd found Waterfield 's body.
Discovery of the body of Water- ?
field Tuesday afternoon brought to j
an end a search for him that be
gan in the gray dawn of Wednea- '
day, July 14, when a sheriff's'
posse came upon the body of Iler- i
tha Atisell, her head almost afloat I
in a pool ?>i blood In a wheel rut .
of the road in front of Water
field's home and her feet at the |
edge ol another pool where lb
hours earlier had lain her sweet
heart, Willie Tatem, the blood '
pouring from a wound as big as 1
a man s fist in the bark of his ,
neck. Tatem was later removed ?
to a hospital and recovered.
Tatem and Mfss Ausell, accord- !
lug to reports of the shootlim cur
rent on Knotts island, went to the
Waterfield home shortly before 7
o'clock on Tuesday evening. July 1
13, to remonstrate wit li Water
field about certain reports of a
damaging nature to the character
of the Ansel I girl, in which lur
name was linked with Tatein's to
the discredit of both. 1'pbraidini;
Waterfield about spreading then,
reports about a girl of good char
acter and motherless, Tatem is i
said to have threatened to let day
light through Waterfield II his
slanderous remarks about the girl
were repeated.
As Tatem made the foregoing |
threat, It is said, Waterfield '
reached in the corner of the fence
of his yard, in which he was stand
ing at the time, and brought forth
the automatic shot gun which he
used as a duck hunter. Shooting
L down Miss Ausell lirst, he then
shot down Tatem, the lead grai
ing t he young man's shoulder.
Then as Tatem started to rise Wa
terfield shot again, the wound this
time taking effect in the back of
Tatem's heck. After that Tatem
rose no more until Waterfield was
out of sight.
Waterfield had stalked by the
bodies of his victims as they layi
In the road no less than four
timea before he disappeared that
night. A crack shot :ind armed to
'.lie teeth, he made his Ketaway ,
vithout opposition, none daring to ,
oolest him.

< C.uir'iiol. by Th*
Washington, Auk. 3. ? Calvin i
Coolidge starts mh week hisj
fourth year a.s President of the'
United States. The outstanding !
i acter folic of iil.M a<lttiinlsi ra
tion Ih a paradox- what it lack*
In sensation ha* been made up in '
Importance of achievement*.
There is nothlnK ?o undramatlc
a? economical uud efficient admin
istration. Yet the a pet t;i< le of the
(Sovernment of the United States :
eight years after the war operat- j
inn not only on a balanced bud- 1
Ret but actually absorbing a sur
plus year after year to pay off Na-j
tlonal debt* offers a contrast to j
the real of the world, which eon
id it ut en the principal accomplish- I
.ment of the country.
Mr. Coolidge by standing firm- "
ly behind the budget system and'
at the name time - recommend ing
continuous cut* In taxation, has I
placed the Imprest* of bis own
i thrift on the whole administra- i
ition In the last three years.
To no small extent has the Pres. (
, blent been aided by a powerful
public opinion to which the Hern- i
ocratle members of Congrcxn have 1
been as responsive as their Itepub- ,
llcan brothers. Itut as Is customary
In politics, the man nt the helm
of responsibility derives credit not
only from the achievements of bis
own parly but from the coopera
tion given by the minority party.
Next in importance in catalogu
ing the principal phrases of the
Coolidge administration In the last
three years Is another thing about
which the public hears little, but
'which counts a great deal In the
efficient management of Govern
mental affairs. The ('resident has
permitted his cabinet members a
maximum of latitude. This has
I been especially true of the Secre
tarles of States Treasury and Com
merce. The policy of settling tho
foreign debt as rapidly as possi
ble has been shaped to a large ex
tent by Messrs Kellog. Mellon and
Hoover. Kach one of these three
men has In a sense made the pol
Icy of the Coolidge administration
in his respective field Mr Cool
ld*e has shown a disposition to.
delegate responsibility to his cab
inet.
There are many unsolved prob
lems. some of which may yet
prove a thorn in the poltlcal side.)
but there rarely has been an ad .
ministration which represented so |
much the viewpoint of ten differ- ;
ent executives, each one of whom '
Is really a chief executive so far !
as his department Is concerned.
Agriculture has been very much
III the public eye as an unsolved !
cont ri*versy. The difficulty Is en
tirely one of economies. Mr.
Cool id Ke and his advisors have not
yet become convinced that th** '
jcorn belt school of thought should
prevail. Nevertheless the pro- 1
gress of the Government In cop- j
ing with farm problems has not |
been insignificant. Secretary Jar- i
dine hns developed the Idea that!
. t lie Department of Agriculture j
, shall use Its machinery to the nt- ;
most for the farmer'. Congress
has provided credit machinery for j
I the financing of the farmer and,
the next step unqueatlonably will j
be an expansion of exlatlng gov j
ernmentai agencies so as to assist
in the coordination of farm groups [
j and organizations.

Co iti mission pi s next week. with a
view to determining upon the type
of cuui tlnm.'f to in* elected here.

board ytsit-idaj, a luotu.n wu?
passed constituting all tin mem
bers, oi such pail ol thrni as
would go. a commit tee ol investi
gation.
Tbi- commissioners plan to leave j
Tuesday in autoniobih a, and ex
pect to (,*' tl> Wilson. i{:tlel?h and
other points, perhaps traveling a>
fai as Kayettevillu before return- '
ing home. The expenditure of!
close* to a quarter or a million ;
dollars on a new courthouse here i
is contemplated, and the Commisl
Bioners lake the stand that iheyj
should familiarize themselves with
what other counties have done
along the same line, before arbi
trarily deciding upon the design 1
of the new structure.
Definite steps toward the build- j
lug of a new courthouse here wer
taken last March, when Judge
Henry A. Grady, in Superior Court, i
supplemented a recommendation'
by the grand Jury that a new
courthouse be l?uili. with a letter
strongly calling the al.teutitm ot
the commissioners to tiieii legal
obligation to be guided b\ the
grand jury's suggestions in that
and other matters.
I'neasy over the prospect of in
dictment in the event they failed i
to act on the recommendation, the j
commissioners promptly went to
work, first threHhlng out the ques
tion of a site. W. T. Love. Sr.,!
chairman of the board, expressed
himself as strongly in favor of lo
cating the new Structure on the
Oveiman property, a Mix acre tract
several blocks from I lie present
courthouse site, on the grounds
that it was better suited to the
purpose, and that the present
courthouse property could In- sold 1
for enough to buy the Overman
tract and apply a substantial
amount on the new courthouse as
well. This suggestion finally was
voted down, the commissioner!! de
ciding to rebuild on the present
location.
In view of large recent Cuunly
expenditure,! for roads and other
purposes, and by reason ol much
larger city outlays for various im
provements, a growing sentiment
is manifesting Itself in both city
and County, against too hasty
action in authorizing a large ap
propriation for a new courthouse. I
Thero are many who freely ex- 1
presn the opinion that the County
should wait a few years, ami
"catch it* breath," before under
taking any further large projects. 1
There is a strong feeling, too,
that if l he commissioners rendered
a full report, setting forth that
th^y had made a thorough inves
tigation, and had decided It was
inadvisable to put up a new court
house at present, that report
would be accepted by Court and
Karnd Jury as evidence that they
had done their duty In th<* matter,
and no steps would be taken to
prosecute them.
Having gone so far as to em
ploy architects who have submit
ted tentative designs for the new
courthouse, however, the commis
sioners are evidencing a dispoHl- 1
tion to cairy the project through
to completion, though individual 1
members of the board express
themselves as flatly opposed, per
sonally, to undertaking it at the
present time.
