Continued from Pace 1)
ton, brought on the trouble.
Gunter saw Ford and Miss Sut
ton together, and went a quarter
of a mile to get his gun, and then
walked a mile back to the house
where the couple had gone. He saw
them through a window and fired,
hitting both with bullets. Miss
Sutton and Ford were carried to
a Newport Hospital, where Ford
lingered three days, and Miss Sut
ton recovered.
Miss Sutton had cared for Gun
ter's mother while the latter was
ill only a short time before the
shooting.
Gunter separated from his wife
about two years ago, and had two,
children. One lived with him and
one with Mrs. Gunter. Both Ford
and Gunter worked on the high
way construction job in the Mt.
Sterling area.
Ford, 23, is survived by his
wife and a child who was three
weeks old at the time of his death.
Eighty-pne of the special venire
of 100 together with the special
jurors, reported to courf Friday
morning for the start of the case.
According to estimates of county
auditor James Kirkpatrick this
morning, the Gunter case has cost
Haywood County about $1,000.
Perhaps the only person disap
pointed that the trial did not go
to the jury, was J. L. Swanger, a'
third grade student, who was nam
ed to draw the jury. For his ser- j
vices J. L. would have received a
dollar, and the bright-eyed little
fellow says he is definitely study
ing hard in school, because he
wants to be a doctor.
The Friday session of court was
"school day" because many stu
dents took advantage of the
Thanksgiving holidays at school, to
attend coiirt.

girl collecting clothes for the
cleaners was wearing shorts. But
when she knocked at the door he
gave her his wife'swinter coat and
two pairs of his trousers.
Mrs. Glick solved the mystery.
She rescued the clothing from the

were collecting "Clothes for

mond has been their home for
several years now. Miss Brock
lived happily at home throughout
the years, helping to keep house for
the three sons of the Johnson fam
ily and establishing a worthy name
as a good cook?always an asset to
a minister's household. She made
no effort to find her own family be
cause her foster parents are still
living and had been "wonderful"
to her.
Finally not'long ago, she men
tioned the story of her adoption to
good and influential friends in
Richmond, Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Rice,
saying that she would like to trace
her family. Strangely enough Mr.
Rice had a young man living in his
hou^e who had come from the same
orphanage. The boy remembered a
kindly and long-time teacher there
by /the name of Miss Sally Mc
Cracken, who, incidentally has rela
tives in Haywood County.
A letter to Miss McCracken
brought an immediate reply giving
the full record of birth, adoption
and family of little Rebecca Brock.
Another letter by Mr. Rice to his
Waynesville friend, and prominent
lawyer,.Ray Morgan, established the
last link in the chain. Through in
quiry of Brock relatives here in
town, Mr. Morgan easily traced the
family of Rebecca Brock, and about
two weeks ago her nieces and nep-'
hew, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Gilliland
and Mrs. Carpenter Gilliland drove
to Richmond to fipd their aunt
whose loss had been a source of
such grief to their parents. Miss
Brock returned to Waynesville with
them and expects to visit here un
til shortly before Christmas.
Miss Brock claims she "can't get
over being found." I never dream
ed the family had been looking for
ne all these years and that there
were so many of them. I still can't
get the nieces and nephews
straight, to say nothing of the grand
nieces and nephews. But they're
all being just grand to me."
Mrs. Thomas Gilliland, with
whom Miss Brock is staying at her
home on Howell Mill Road, says
that she recognized her aunt imme
diately even though she had never
seen her before. "She's just a
Brock, that's all."
Miss Brock's closest relatives
include her only living brother, Roy
Brock, of Morrisville; and the niec
es and nephews, the Thomas Gilli
land's who are first cousins, and
the children of the late Mrs.
Charles Gilliland and Jim Brock,
Jr., respectively, sister and broth
er of Miss Brock; Mrs. Carpenter
Gilliland, of Killian St., Mrs. Ern
est Robinson, of Hazelwood, George
Putnam, also of Hazelwood, and
Robert Putnam, of Allen's Creek,
all children of the late Mrs. Robena
Putnam, sister to Miss Brock. There
are numerous relatives who have
left Haywood County.
Miss Brock does not think that
she will live on here in Waynes
ville. "I think- I will probably go
back to being Louise Burns soon
and to Richmond where all my
friends and 'family' are. My foster
father is elderly, and I want to be
home to see that he has a merry
Christmas."
