YADKIN MANSION SCENE OF BRAWL Ancient Home of Another Peridif Brings Headache to Officers, Neighbors. TRIAL (NEXT SATURDAY Yadkinville. July 6. —(Special.) Four persons were arrested and * warrants issued for others fes a result of a free-for-all fight at the home of Jack Hunt, at Hunts ville Monday night. It occured at the old Dr. Hunt mansion, one of the "big houses" of a period that is gone forever. First news of the all night revel and fight -reached Sheriff A. L. Inscore at 8 o'clock Tuesday morn ing. Immediately summoning Dep uties Jake Brown, G. F. Willard and R. B. Crissman the party went to the old mansion near Hunts ville, where the report said proba bly one had been killed. By middle afternoon Jack Hunt, 36, of Huntsville, Herman Melton, 36, of Winston-Salem, Marie Left wich, 25, who came to Winston- Salem from West Virginia and T. D. Brewbaker, 22, of Huntsville, were in Yadkin county jail facing various charges. All are charged with public drunkness and other charges are being added as the sheriff and his deputies strive to unravel the nights events. A war rant has been issued for Tom Kelly, of Huntsville, who got a cut on the face in the affray, but who could not be found Tuesday. Marie Leftwich was in jail here two years ago for public drunk ness at Jonesville. Warner Fry, young white man of Cornatzor, Davie county, was the worst hurt of the dozen re ported to have taken part in the fight. He was badly cut in several places and was traced from the Hunt home for almost a mile by a stream of blood. He was found and arrested at his home at Corn atzor and is being guarded there until able to move to jail. Sheriff Inscore is unable at this time to determine just how many were present. He says the fight either started over an argument about liquor or over the woman. Herman Melton, who is alleged to have brought the woman to the place, says he bought some liquor from Hunt, but later they ran off and demolished his car. His car, now stored in Yadkin ville, looks like it had been struck Sa cyclone, a Mexican revolu n and a Democratic administra tion. If Pry's condition will permit a hearing for all will be held here Saturday. Find Still Ifci addition to other charges Jack Hunt will be charged with operating a blockade still. The of ficers found a still just a short distance from the Hunt home. They destroyed tubs, barrels and other things and brought in the boiler. In the woods near the house was two quilts and a gallon jug with one pint of Whiskey in it. Jack Hunt Jack Hunt was born under an unlucky star, the son of an unwed mother and a father who was killed three months before he was bom, because of his associations with Jack's mother. The killer was never known. Some believe it was a family job and that he was killed to prevent a marriage be tween him and Jack's mother. The Hunt family was one of the uppers of the section and they believed their daughter too good for a commoner. Others believe he was killed by a rival for the girls affection. Anyway he was found in the barnyard of the Hunt estate, his body covered in snow on a morning after he had visited the girl, mother of Jack, way back about 1905. The body was discovered by the girl, Molly Hunt, and it is relat ed that thro this experience and the scene she witnessed, her un born child suffered, and which accounts for this low mental and physical condition. Jack has been giving trouble in this county for many years. One of his first breaks with the law was when he was convicted in court with John Freeman on a charge of burning the home of Frank Sofley, in the night time, while the family slept in the house. He was given 10 years in state prison, but later paroled. Freeman was sentenced to be electrocuted but later his sen tence was commuted to 10 years in prison, to coincide with the sentence of Hunt. Later Free man was paroled and seems to be leading a clean life since. Hunt has clashed with the law many times since then. Last Au gust Sheriff Inscore and- deputies arrested him and nine others in 4 raid similar to the one Tuesday. Hunt was given 12 months on the roads and was released from the prison camp at Sparta three weeks ago. Tom Kelly, another one in the melee Monday night was in the other gang and was given three months cm the roads.! Officers find it difficult work on the case because the neighbors of Jack and the citizens of Huntsville are afraid to talk because of what might happed Nj thera or their property when Jack is in circulatioft.
