Escaped Convict Slain By Somers (Continued from Page One) ing. Atwood ran from the building almost into the arms of Deputy Kil by, who commanded him to halt. Deputy Kilby fired into the air without attempting to hit the fleeing man but Atwood did not stop. At wood ran across a branch bridge and turned quickly with his shotgun to fire at Sheriff Somers, who had fol lowed his flight by the aid of a pow erful flashlight. Only quick action on the part of the Sheriff saved his life, the load from his gun taking effect in Atwood's chest. He died almost instantly. At the coroner's inquest, testi mony revealed that Atwood had vowed he would die rather than be taken alive. At the time he was killed he was carrying his shotgun, a razor and two long knives. He was said to have carried a pistol most of the time. PASSENGERS UNHURT Passengers escaped with only mi nor injuries when nine cars of the Dixie Flier, crack N. C. & St. L.

THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA Jones Is Of Hope Mystery Will Be Cleared Up Soon (Continued from Page One) week which has proven favorable to Smoot's plea of innocence was the jail break at Wilkesboro Sunday morning. Although four men made their getaway, Smoot refused to take advantage of this opportunity. Pour other prisoners also passed up the opportunity to escape. With Solicitor Jones here Wednes day was the Wilkes county finger print expert and several other men whose identities were not learned. Earl C. James, attorney for An- ; drew Smoot, held as a suspect in the Childress murder case, issued the following statement today: "Out of all the countless rumors and conjectures as to the method by which Leoda Childress came to her death, the clash of conflicting theo ries, as to suicide or murder, and the tangled mass of circumstances which might involve any one of eight or ten suspects, stands the conduct of Smoot. From the moment he was taken in custody in Danville, Virgin ia, to the present moment Smoot has done everything possible to cooper ate with the authorities. His entire willingness to waive extradition from Virginia, his readiness to be inter viewed by the Solicitor for the State and furnish him a copy of the so called "murder note," his eagerness to answer every question propounded have all attested Andrew Smoot's at titude of helpfulness. This was fur ther borne out by Smoot's scorning the opportunity of joining in the es cape of the four prisoners from the Wilkes jail Sunday night. When Sheriff Somers asked Smoot Monday morning why he did not join his four cellmates in the escape Smoot told the Sheriff that he was going to re main in jail until his innocence was clearly established. "To the Solicitor's inquiry if he was willing to submit to an injection of "Truth Serum" Smoot told the State's attorney he would gladly take anything that did not contain strych nine." IN MEMORIAM As the twilight hour silently drew near on Wednesday, November 29, 1933, the spirit of little M&ry Vir ginia Cockerham gently took its flight to join the Angelic host around the eternal throne of God. Drs. Salmons and Johnson deter mined heart leakage as being the contributing cause of the little one's passing. Medical science, willing hands and anxious hearts must giva way to Him "who doeth all things well"; and be sufimissive to the voice that tenderly whispers: "Suf fer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Mary Virginia, the idolized daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Folger Cockerham, was born December 27, 1931. Although her stay on earth was short, not quite two years, this precious little one had by her sweet smiles and winsome personality, en deared herself to the hearts of all who knew her. Perhaps no other child was ever more dearly loved and admired, not alone in the large family circle, but throughout the entire community in which her lit tle life was spent. How sadly will darling little Mary Virginia be missed in her home. No more shall her bright smiles and childish prattle gladden the hearts of loved ones in that home. It is hard to give her up and say "Thy will be done." But God knew best. He called our darling home where the blighting hand of sorrow can never touch her fair brow. "There is no death, The stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown They shine forever more." May our Heavenly Father bless and comfort the grief stricken par ents and each sorrowing relative and friend. Beside her parents, Mary Vir ginia leaves a twin brother, Bobby Lee, and an older brother, Wallace. Funeral rites were conducted from the Mountain Park Baptist church by the pastor, Rev. Scales Draughn. The little body was tenderly laid to rest in the church cemetery, amid a profusion of flowers and tears. GET LESS THAN WATER BOYS School teachers employed by the CWA are being paid less than water boys and common laborers on con struction projects under the adminis tration, H. P. Harding, city school superintendent of Charlotte, said Friday. While ordinary workers get 45 cents an hour for a 30 hour week, Harding pointed out, teachers ate paid only 40 cents an hour.
