Marines Identified in Court
As Assailants of Bogue Man
Loot Valued At
Thousands In
Beach Burglary
Thieves Use Truck
To Haul Away Stuff
From Seven Collages
Thousands of dollars worth of
property was stolen by thieves who
broke into seven Atlantic Beach
summer homes some time during
the holidays. Sheriff C. G. Hoi
land's office said the exact value
of the property was . not known,
since all the victims could not be
reached.
The burglary was first discover
ed Friday night by David Mans
field. of Mansfield, at the home
of his brother - in - law, J. B.
Askew, of New Bern. The cottage,
at the west end of the beach, had
been entered by forcing a window,
and considerable damage had been
done in forcing inside doors, which
had all been locked.
From the Askew cottage,
sheriff's officers went to check on
other cottages at the beach, and J
discovered that six had been enter- \
ed. They were the property of
Romaine Howard, Tarboro; Roma \
Clarence Grice, Wilson; Roger ,
Gant. of Burlington; S. D. Wood
ard, believed to live in Golusboro;
Dr. Lee, of Kinston, and another
Mr Gant. believed to be the
brother of Roger Gant.
A heavy rain Friday obliterated
any possible tracks, though offi
cials said the thieves must have
used a car or truck to carry off j
their loot. George Canady, of the j
state bureau of investigation, went !
over the cottages for fingerprints, !
? and sheriff's officers expect to
clear up the case soon. Working
on the case are Marshall Ayscue.
ABC officer and special officer;
Deputy Hugh Salter, and State De
tective George Canady.

fice so far includes:
From the Howard cottage: two
blankets, set of five carving knives, '
a shower head, a shower curtain, I
two dozen bath towels, two out
board moters, two fishing tackle

ism reel, a silver chest containing
a service for twelve, a complete
tool chest, two life preservers, two
beach towels, six bedspreads, 20
sheets, 12 pillow cases, children's
clothing, four lamps, two bath

Project Begins
Work started Wednesday on a
project planned to halt erosion at
Fort Macon state park.
W. II. Riley, hydrologic engineer,
and Thomas W. Morse, superinten
dent of state parks, both of the
state department of conservation
and development, arc at Fort Ma
con to supervise the job for which
the council of state recently allo
cated $25,000 from the contingency
ami emergency fund,
N. F. Eure of Beaufort has been
awarded the contract on a competi
tive bid for the repairing of one
concrete jetty, the reconstruction
of two other jetties, and for the
building of a new jetty, Morse said.
Riley, who will supervise the en
gineering job. said he exects the
project to be completed in about
30 days. Some of the jetties were
constructed back in the 1850 s.
Fort Macon, which was started
in 1825 as a part of the nation's
coastal defense system, and which
was captured by Federal forces in
1862 after an 11 hour siege and
bombardment by land and sea
forces, became a part of the slate
park system in 1924 when it was
turned over by congress to the
state for public use. Now being
restored, the Fort Macon state
park is visited annually by thou
sands.
Erosion recently has caused con
siderable damage to the eastern
point ol the area on which the
unique fort was constructed. So
much damage was done to the wa
ter and sewage systems by ero
sion on the eastern approach, fac
ing the Atlantic ocean, that they
cannyt be repaired. Morse said.
New public comfort stations and
water and sewage systems arc to
be built near the fort with another
allotment from the contingency
and emergency fund. Morse said.

if the necessary valves and labor
can be obtained the installation

Stovall's appearance at the meet
ing was the result of a blast it the
