Core Creek Span

A barge ran Into the Core Creek
bridge across the Inland waterway

making it impossible to close the
bridge to allow highway traffic to
cross. It waa reported yesterday
afternoon that the bridge would be
closed to highway traffic for sev
eral days.
Since the bridge is operated by
the federal government, state high

the matter. John L. Humphrey,
county road superintendent, said
that the state put signs on high
ways leading to the bridge yester
day morning after it was learned
that the bridge was inoperable.
School busses, as well as auto

Judge Henry L. Stevens was gen
erous in hii praise of state officers
and federal agents who compiled
evidence against the defendants,
Waddell and his brother-in-law,
Horace Adams. (The case against
Ad a mi was non-suited).
The Judge, In opea court, termed
the prosecution's role a "magnifi
cent job", adding that the counties
involved should be congratulated
for having in their service public
officials such as those in Carteret
and Elizabeth City (where Waddell
was arrested).
The judge said, "It makes you
feel safer to have such officers
around and makes you prouder to
be an American. I consider the
FBI one of the best organizations
in the world. I have always been
impressed with their factual analy
sis."
Robert Rouse Jr., solicitor, at the
close of the case commended
sheriff Hugh Salter of Cartiret,
John Edwards of the State Bureau
of Investigation, the FBI experts
Roy Jcvons and Robert Zimmer,
and H. L. Cox, Elizabeth City
policeman, who arrested Waddell.
Mr. Rouse commented, "Mr. Cox
was just out on a routine job when
he made the arrest."
Judge Stevens barked, "Fine of
ficer!"
Waddcll was sentenced to three
to five years in the state prison on
the safe cracldnf Job and another
six months, to run coatarrently
with -the first sentence, (or speed
ing. fie latter charge feas been
pending since July 12, 1955, when
Waddcll, an escapee from state
prison, led sheriff Salter cp a
chase.
The sheriff, in pursuit, finally
brought Waddell to a halt at the
Laurel and Merrimon roads by
ramming his car into Waddell's.
C. Lydon Harrell Jr., Norfolk at
torney representing Waddcll, plead
ed him guilty at 3:50 p.m. Wednes
day. The case had been in progress
since morning. He moved that the
case against Adams, also charged
with the Huntley job, be non-suited.
The guilty plea followed a con
ference of approximately 20 min
utes between Mr. Rouse, Mr. Har
rell, the judge, and Wayland Brit
ton, Elizabeth City attorney, who
was also representing Waddell.
The judge allowed a non-suit in
the case of Adams, he said, be
cause the boy had never been in
any trouble before and there was
some doubt that Adams was with
Waddcll and Linwood Mears when
the Huntley robbery took place.
Mears was in the county jail dur
ing Wednesday's trial. He, Wad
dell and Adams were picked up to
gether in Elizabeth City ? week
after the Huntley break-in. He was
at that time an escapee from a
state prison camp. He chose not
to be represented by Waddell and
Adams' attorneys. Sheriff Hugh
Salter says that Mears has 16 years
to serve on previous convictions,
even if he could beat the breaking
and entering charge against him
at Huntley's.
George Laugkton Jr., employee
at Huntley's, was the first state's
witness. He testified that he found
the door to the store (located at the
iatcrsection of highways 101 and
TO, Beaufort) pried open the morn
ing of Nov. 7.
George Huntley Jr., owner of the
business, stated that combination
dials had been knocked off two
safes, records in a small safe were
scattered over the floor, as well as
records from a large safe that had
Ifed the back cut out.
Mr. Hntley testified that when
he closed the lane sale the night

? $4,000 Reported Raised
To Pay Lobbyist
Organized Tuesday in Morchcad

mittee for Tourist Promotion. Im
mediate major objective of the
organization is to employ an at

permit establishment of race
tracks anywhere in the state if

the tame as the state's ABC law,
which permits sale of liquor
through state stores if the people

Newport Woman Pleads
Guilty to Manslaughter
Mr*. Louis Mattingly, route 2 Newport, who shot and
killed her husband the night of Sept. 15, 1958, pleaded
guilty in superior court yesterday to manslaughter.
The plea was accepted and she was sentenced to two
years in prison, but put on probation for five years, which
means that the prison term need not be served if she does
not violate any laws in the five
year period.
Judge Steveni said that he
thought the plea proper, "but the
(act remain! that she could have
gone out the door." Testimony re
vealed that Mrs. Mattingly shot her
husband, apparently out of fear
that he would shoot her if she
didn't shoot him first.
The judge was impressed by the
fact that the brother of the de
ceased testified against the mur
dered man, Sgt. Louis Mattingly.
"In my 22 years as a lawyer and
my 20 years as a judge, this is the
first time that I have heard a
brother testify against his broth
er," the judge remarked. "I can
not tell how much I value the worth
of this man to have the intestinal
fortitude to come here and tell how
dangerous his brother was.
"She shot too quick, but under
stress and strain, people are not
always responsible for what they
do."
Mrs. Mattingly was indicted for
murder in the first degree. The
state prosecuted on second degree
(murder without premeditation).
Manslaughter is the involuntary
killing of another person ? some
times termed an accident.
The state's first witness was
S/Sgt. Donald R. Korsack, route 2
Newport, who lived next door to
the Louis Mattingly's. At 12:55 a.m.
(DST) Sept. 16. Korsack testified
that Mrs. Mattingly banged on
their door and his wife let her in.
She had her young baby with her.
He said that he had gone to bed,
so he got dressed. Mrs. Mattingly,
he related, was hysterical, but he
finally determined that somebody
had been shot. He said the kept
saying, "If I didn't ihoot him, he'd
shoot me and the kidi."
The wrfranl said (hat he went
and got i neighbor, Sgt. Richard
W. Parker, and they went in the
Mattingly house together. They
smelted gunpowder.
Korsack said Parker switched on
the light in the bedroom and Mat
tingly was curled on the bed in
shorts and T shirt. He had been
shot in the left aide below the
heart. Parker phoned for an am
bulance and patrolman.
Korsack retumed to his home,
but when Mrs. Mattingly asked
about her 6-year-old son, he went
back in the Mattingly house and
got the boy, who was still asleep
in another room.
On the witness stand, Parker tes
tified that he heard a shot about
five minutes before Korsack came
to his door. He said they found the
gun, a . .410 over and under lying
by the front door, inside the house.
He said be felt Mattingly'a arm
and it was cold.
Deputy sheriff Bobby Bell testi
fied that he put the murder wea
pon in his car. In the kitchen he
found a box of .410 she' Is and an
empty beer can.
CWO Harold E. Ifaaght. Cherry
Point, who was called to the scene
the night of the shooting, said that
Mrs. Mattingly told him she had
shot her husband. He took her to
the hospital for a sedative and
then to her sister's, Mrs. Sterling
