Va„ was arrested in Franklin
Township, Surry County, Monday

Greer, the officers related,

him and recommended he be tak
en to a hospital for treatment for
alcolholism and exposure.

Tilley said that when he at
tempted to question Patton after
he was taken to jail that the man
was incoherent and to questions
with reference to the girl replied
| that there w-as no girl in the car
but a dummy, which he had pur
chased in Winston-Salem for $9.
Mrs. Zonie Bowers Wilson

did not sec his sister in the ve
hicle, but when he called to hot
she told him to go back to the
house.
The Wilson girl is survived by
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ever
ette Wilson; three brothers and
three sisters.
Sheriff Sam C. Patterson said
Patton would be held without
bond pending arrival of Solicitor
