THREE OR FOUR BOYS CHARGEDIWITH
HOUSEBREAKING, ASSAULT AND RAPE
PRELIMINARY
HEARING MARSH
ALL WEDNESDAY
VICTIM'S ; HUSBAND R E
MANDED TO PRISON FOR
CONTEMPT OF COURT
If evidence sufficient to convict,
can be brought out, at least three
boys face the electric chair for the
, most atrocious crime ever committed
' in North Carolina if not in the whole
nation. Three boys whose names we
hesitate to give for the reason that
-i ' should they not be the jonea guilty;
such publicity might do them harm,
are charged with going to a man'4
house on Big Laurel in Madison
County, breaking in, and taking the
woman living with the .old man into'
the woods where she was subjected
t oall kinds of indecencies, each of
the boys committing rape and leav
ing her stripped of her clothing after
having dragged her through a creek.
This crime was brought to the atten
tion of this newspaper last week, but
was withheld from publication in or
der to have the matter investigated
and if possible to appprehend the cul
prits. The woman in the case, ap-
shows that her advantages have been
exceedingly, poor, which makes the
crime even more brutal. The man,
with whom she lives, looks to be up-
wards of 60 years and for the paltry
sum of (50.00 swore "that he would
not go on the stand and testify as to
what he knew about the case. A pre
liminary trial was held Wednesday
afternoon before Justice of the Pence
C. M. Gage. Solicitor Robt. Wells
was called from Asheville to protect
the State while the defense had em
ployed Messrs. John McElroy, Guy
Roberts and J. Coleman' Raimspy.
- Considerable pressure was fcranght to
bear on the State's Tihief - witness,
Sam Moore, to get him to testify but
he preferred to take a jail sentence
rather than testify, after having ac
cepted $25.00 in cash and about
$25.00 in merchandise not to swear
in court. The difficulty in the case
is in fact that the woman is not
able to identify her assailers. The
crime is said to have occurred just
after night, possbily 9 or 10 o'clock.
The warrants first charged house
breaking and assault, but at the trial
the Solicitor had the charge changed
to rape and at first asked the court to
hold the, three boys in jail without
bond. To this the attorneys lor the
defense strenuously objected on the
ground that; there was no sworn evi
dence that the three boys in jail were
the perpetrators of the crime. The
final outcome of the preliminary trial
was that it should be continued one
week, or until the State's chief wit
ness would agree to testify and the
three boys then in jail were allowed
to give bond in the sum of $1000 each
for their appearance in Marshall
next Wednesday . at one o'clock, at
whicH time all the witnesses are to
appear, .
The courthouse was almost filled
when the case was taken up, the
court ruled that all should be exclu
ded except witnesses, relatives, : offi
cers and lawyers. The trial consumed
about two hours. The woman's sworn
evidence was that she' was. snatched
from the old man by four men whom
she did not know, in the dark. The
erime is alleged to 1tave taken place
the first of last week. '
THE COMMENCE
5IENT OF WALNUT
SCHOOL
My Dear Mr. Story: - -
X have read with, interest the ac
counts of the commencements of oth
er schools in 'the county but', have
seen little about Walnut. Some of
v na sholud have sent in reports at the
time. Perhaps it may not be out of
, place to write a tew observations ev-
cv.at this late aay. ; -. .'tvv?i;."c
We are proud of our Walnut school.
We are proud of its rapid develop
ment from a number or six months'
school with over-burdened teachers
trying to teach too many grades at
once to an eight month r consolidated
, school with a faculty of twelve fully
qualified teachers a full high school
course, and an elementary school able
to pass the rigid requirements of the
State Department of Education and
,be admitted to the list of standard
schools, and we are proud of the way
In which our school has stood by the
churches In all that they are trying
tiV'Io to promote righteousness and
high standards of Christian character
and eonduct.
The first of the series of programs
preceding the Commencement 'proper
was the music recital given on Friday
night. April first. The four chornset
sur.j by grammar grades assisd
by those high school pupils who were
taking music were excellently done
and showed the benefits of, the public
school music during the . year. The
piano numbers showed careful train
ing and attention to detail from the
beginners who played their little ele
mentary pieces but who played them
carefully and accurately, up to Miss
Pansy Chandler and . Miss Jane Mor
row, who were the most advanced.
The recital -did credit to Miss Home.
The program by the grammar,
grades on April 8th and that by the
primacy grades on April 15th were
excellent and deserve a detailed ac
count that space forbids.
The Commentement sermon was
preached Jn the auditorium on Sun
day evening, April 17h, by President
Oscar E. Sams, of Carson-Newman
College. A large congregation was
oresent. Special music consisted of
two choruses. by Juniors and Seniors.
The combined Recitation and rec
lamation Contest was held on Thurs
day. April 21st. Seven girls compet
ed: Marian Morrow, Annabelle Allen,
Margaret Leake, Grace Stines, Kutn
Guthrie, Odessa Henderson, and Wil
ma Davis; and three boys, Malley
Roberts, Harrison Payne, and Hubert
Davis. The iudsres were instructed
to decide which was the best in the
girls' contest, and which was best a-
mong the boys, and men to aeciae
which of these two should receive
the first prize and which the second.
ThA firet nrlze. a srold meaai. was
won by Ruth Guthrie with "The Soul
of the Violin," and tne secona, a nye
Hnllnr mid niece, by- Harrison Payno
with "The Death of Benedict Arnold.'
So few bovs. in comparison witn tne
number of girls, have sufficient am
bitiott and enterprise to enter these
contests seriously that I feel like giv-
lnr nanadnl mention to the tWO Who
did not win this time. Hubert Davis
and Malley Roberts showed ability
that should be further developed next
year. , ' - .
The graduation exercises occurred
tti f Allowing nisrht. April 22nd. After
tha Invocation y eVr W yde J
Sr., and a piano soio; "i tiove i nee,
Grieg, played by Miss Jane Morrow,
the Salutatory was given by Miss
Pansy Chandler. After the Class song,
the Valedictory was given by Miss
Jane Morrow. Then followed the Com
mencement address by Superinten
dent R. C. Reynolds of Buncombe
county. Diplomas were presented by
our Principal Mr. H. D. Pegg, to the
oTaHimtino- class as follows: Misses
Jane Morrow, Pansy Chandler and
Agnes Brigman; and Messrs raui
ShMtnn. Hubert Roberts. Clarence
Freeman, Albert Fortner, John Chan
dler, Thomas McDevitt, and Otto
McDevitt. The prizes won at the con
test of the oreceding night were pre
sented by Rev. James L. Hyde.
The Senior Play on Saturday night
was attended by a large and appreci
ative audience. The title was "Out of
Court." It was a decided success.
An interesting ' incident between
the acts was when Rev. B. E. Guth
rie, Chairman of the Sshool Com
mittee presented diplomas to the fol
lowing who were graduating from
the seventh trade into High School:
Sandy Anz, Gypsy McDevitt, Irene
Gof orth, . Inez Henderson, Ketherine
Morrow, Carl Brooks, Walter Gold
smith, Herman Randall, Donald
Stines and Roy Thomas.
The comnaratlvelv, small number
passing from the seventh grade into
the nigh school , may; require a few
words of explanation It would be im
possible to raise the educational stan
dards of a school as rapidly as ours
have been raised without encounter
ing some difficult problems, These
difficulties are not peculiar to the
Walnut School but must be faced in
every school that is going through
such a- process of development. Many
minil are certain1 to he found in
grades for which they are not ade
quately' prepared. Sometimes there
has been irregular attendance or
lmlness and indifference on the part
of these pupils but -often it is not
their fault but the fault of the- six
months schools, But whatever tne
cause these pupils are not able t do
satisfactorily the work of the grade
they are in because -they f are not
thoroughly grounded in the Work of
the -earlier, grades. In many cases
these, pupils . have been, , squeezed
through, ill prepared, f on one grade
to another at the earnest desire of
innA hut misguided narenta who do
not realise that what they ask is con
trary to the best interests of their
children. What is the teacher to do
with such pupils? The temptation is
to take them through the work of the
year in such a manner-as to. give
them-just enough superficial; know
leHire'of it to enable them to pass ex
aminations and slip through into the
next grade. It' requires courage and
conscientiousness on the Part of the
teacher to insist on thorough work
from these pupils, to spend her time
drillinar them on work cf an earlier
grade, and to incur unpopularity with,
parents who do not understand the
circumstances. But only so can the
standards of the school be raised.
These problems . accumulate - and
reach their climax in the . seventh
Trade. Here it is that any deficiencies
if the earlier grades must oe maae
up if they are to be made up at all.
So important is it to maintain the
standard of both the high school
and the elementary school that the
examinations are given and the
papers are graded ..by the Coutty
Superintendent. It is easy to see tha$
the teacher of a seventh grade has f
difficult' position. But our seventh,
grade teaoher this past year was
faced with the impossible task jo?
covering nearly a year and a half i
work in one year. She deserves praise
for the conscientious faithfulness and
ability with which she has done her
work in the face of certain unpopuy
larity with some who would liketo
see their children slide easily and
gracefully into the high school, wheth.
er they were qualified to do high
scWol work or not. f
Whlie there may be a few who
are either lacking in natural ability
or who are not willing to apply
themselves yet with many others- n
nnt. tn their discredit if they failed
to pass. It merely means that they1
need an extra year to make up for.
deficiencies which may not have been-
their fault. Mrs. Wardroup has gen
srnnalv offered to srive of her after-
nnnnfl to helninir them make up these
HofiMPTiripR and Mr. Dillard has
agreed to give them another exarefin

months school into the bargain, ana.
we ae attemDtine a good deal wnen
we undertake to do the work in seven
grades of eight months and keep our
standards up to tneirs. . -
I would like to say many things,
including some words of appreciation
of our principal, Mr. Pegg and his
wife but I feel that I should apologize
for the lensrth to which this has
grown. It is a personal letter and ex
presses merely my own views, uu
they are tie views of one who has
bei in very close touch with the
school.
