Women Hurt When
Two Autos Collide
Two automobiles were well night
! demolished and two Shelby women
! injured, in a crash between a Nash
j and a Dodge on Gidney street here
1 early this morning.
One of the cars, the Nash, driven
by Mrs. J. Reid Misenheimer, cash
tier at Webb theatre, turned com
pletely bottom up. The Dodge was
driven by Mrs. Clyde Mauney. Both
I women were painfully but not seri
i ously hurt.
It was said the cost of the repair
of the two cars will run to a figure
between six and seven hundred dol
lars.
According to the version of the af

jheimer was driving west on Gidney
[street, and Mrs. Mauney was driv
ing couth on Washinngton. Mrs..
Mauney’s car hit the Misenheimer
car amidships, as Mrs. Misenheimer
was crossing Washington street
ahead of the advancing Dodge.
So great was the impact that the
Nash was catapulted across the
street to the curb, which served to
trip the big car on its sidewise jour
ney, so that it turned completely
bottom up. Reports were circulated
through the city that both women
had been severely injured but this
was not true. Aside from shock and
a few bruises it was declared each
had escaped innjury.

old father. Smith T. Petty.

turned to writing poetry. ■
Possessed of a desire to give vent
to her emotions through poetical ex

say manifested itself even in her
schooldays—the allege dpatricidc re
cently has found time to turn out
reams of poetry, some of which has
been published in a county news
paper.
No Visitors.
No one is allowed to visit the ac
cused murderess save close relatives
and members of her array of coun
sel. and she spends several hours
each day with her Muse, according
to jail officials. She reads a few
magazines and books, they said, left
by visitors.
. Mrs. Gatlin is faced with several
months more of jail life until Jan
uary when trial is scheduled to be
called in Rockingham Superior court
here. The trial, which will bring to
gether some of the best of North
Carolina’s legal talent, is expected to
last for a w-eek or more.
Much of the ume o: me trial prob
ably will be taken up with the testi

star prosecuting witness who play
id a stellar role in the investigation
which led to the alleged m rder

ed to authorities a confession which
he claimed Mrs. Gatlin confided to
him in a religious exaltation after
she attended a revival that Rev.
Pardue was conducting at Reids
ville.
The minister told the authorities
that the 20-yeai'-old bride confessed
she nad killed her father a year be
fore with an axe as he was eating
[his breakfast, and had then conceal
ed his body. Petty, a cotton mill
[foreman, had been missing for a
Tittle over a year, but no foul play
'had been suspected in connection
with his disappearance.
Acting on the information furn
ished them by the evangelist, author
ities began an investigation which
ended in the finding of Petty’s axe
hacked body buried in a shallow
grave in the basement of the Petty
home. Mrs. Gatlin was arrested and
charged with the horrible crime on
the day the gruesome find was made
She denied making the confession
to the minister.

CHE BOYS III
JAIL FOB TIFT
Two Young Boys Nabbed Here vfath
Stolen Kings Mountain
Automobile.
Apparently when they swing off
the cradle these days they hop an
automobile fender and keep going.
Occasionally they happen to steal
the auto to hold the pace.
Sunday night near midnight Po
licemen McBride Poston and Oil
Grigg noticed two youths trying to
read a highway sign at a Shelby
street corner. The boys appeared
rather young to be out with a car at
such an hour of the night and the
officers asked them where they
were from. "Gastonia,” they said,
but the auto tag read Kings Moun
tain.
A little more questioning brought
out the information that they
“found” the car, whereupon the of
ficers took the cue and took charge
of the car and the boys. A telephone
conversation with Gastonia reveal
ed that the car. a Ford coupe, had
been stolen there and that it was the
property of a man by the name of
Whitesides, who lives at Kings Moun
tain, but works in a Gastonia bakery
When the information came in
the boys told the officers “Well, we
don't feel hurt. It isn't our first time
to see a Jail.” Before being returned
to Gastonia today they gave their
names as Woodrow Griffith, aged 16
and Haddon Gunter, aged 11—and
the record goes that they are about
the youngest auto bandits ever cap
tured here. One said his home was
in Ducktown, Tenn., and the other
gave his home as another Tennessee
town.

i
Sensational Getaway Has , Ending
When Romeo Comes in. Says
He Wants Trial
Charlotte. Nov. 19.—A sensational
drama at the Mecklenburg county
orison, with six prisoners making j
thetr escape in the early hours of !
Friday night, came to a startling
climax when Romeo Padgett, aged
23, held on charges growing out of
the shooting and gravely wounding
Rural Policeman Henry Moseley,
surrender early Saturday morning.
Feared For Life
Immediately after being placed in
the cell room from which he salm
ly walked fourteen hours previous
ly. Padgett told a newspaper man
that "I would have come back last
night but I was afraid the officers
would shoot me on sight.”
H. L. Strickland, attorney for
this prisoner, went to a house
on the Concord road, just at the
city limits, soon after 9 a. m. Satur
day in response to a mysterious tele
phone message. Mr. Strickland was
told to get his automobile and come
Immediately to a designated point
on that road. Padgett was doing the
talking but refused to tell his at
torney his name.
Some fear of possible physical
injury being inflicted upon one or
both of them as they were riding
through town on the way to prison
caused Mr. Strickland to stop his
automobile at the intersection of
Tryon and Fifth streets and re
quest Sergeant Gardner, of the
Charlotte police department to vide
with them to the county jail. This
was done by Sergeant Gardner.
“I want to face trial and tell my
story of the whole thing," said
Romeo Padgett a few minutes after
he was placed i» Mecklenburg !
county jail here Saturday morning. (
“I decided before I, had got a
block from this jail last night that
I did not w;ant to escape, but I was
afraid that I would Be shot on
sight if I should show myself to
the officers,” added the yourhfui,
prisoner.
Padgett was interviewed by a,
newspaper man while thirteen other
prisoners in the cell room crowded
around him and listened to the con
versation being carried on through
the bars. H. L. Strickland, attorney
for the youth, who is held on
charges growing out of a gun bat
tle September 26 between officers
and alleged bootleggers at a house
on Commonwealth avenue, when
Padgett and Rural Policeman Henry
Mosely were shot and gravely
wounded The prisoner, formerly a
soda jerker here who attained a
wide acquaintance largely as a re
sult of his jovial disposition, talked
freely of his part in the sensational
incidents of early Friday evening at ]
the county Jail, when he and five
other prisoners went through a hole J
cut in the iron lattice work over a
second-story window.
Saw the Hole
"X walked around the corridor
and noticed the hole through the
bars,” said Padgett. “I decided I d
make my getaway. I returned to my
ceil, and got the coat I was wearing
when I was shot. I went back to
the window, slid through the hole
and jumped to the ground about
fifteen feet below.
“None of the prisoners here had
anything to do with my escape,
and I want you to put it in the
paper that I did not lead this jail
break. I was surprised to find the
hole in the bars, and I did not
think about anything then but get
ting away. Then, right after I got
out, I began wishing it was differ
ent. I did not see any of my peo
ple while I was out. I Just laid
low.”

Civic Boosters Help Put Worthy
School Program Over. Will Have
New Divisions.
The Kiwanis Club has again
agreed to sponsor a night school for
Shelby. The club has appropriated
enough money to pay the salaries of
the teachers for. six weeks. It is hop
ed that sufficient money will be se
cured from the Red Cross Roll Call
to carry on the school for another
six weeks. The State Department of
Education through the Division of
Vocational Education, has agreed to
co-operate and thus make it possi
ble t,o extend the night school
through a. period of eighteen weeks.
It is hoped by night school officials
that the Rotary and other clubs will
help in the movement.
On account of the fact that the
holidays are so near, those interest
ed in the night school think it best
to wait until the holidays are over
to begin the school. Last year one
hundred and twenty-five were en
rolled in the night school. The pros
pects now are very bright for a larg
er enrollment. Classes in Home Eco
nomics and in Elementary Subjects
will be offered.

CHRISTMAS FUND
FOR CITY NEEDY
IS PLAN OF STAR
Newspaper To Assist Welfare Offi
cer and Civic Organizations in
Playing Santa Claus
As the major part of Cleve
land county looks forward with
Joy to the gay Christmas sea
son due to a bumper crop of 30
eent cotton there are, scattered
here and there a few homes
wherein there is little cheer. .
Santa seldom visits a home
where misfortune has been an
unwelcome caller—unless some
one helps the old fellow find
the way.
Last year, and year before last
through various organizations the
more fortunate people of this sec
tion helped make it a real Christ
mas in the homes where sickness
and misfortune had visited. This
year the .oali for the Christmas
Stocking fund, to be used in buying
I necessities for the poor, is to be
! centralized through this newspaper,
; When the fund is complete and
Christmas eve is near county wel
fare officer and a committee to be
selected by him from various clubs
will be given the money and it will
be wisely spent for worthwhile gifts
j to be systematically , distributed
| among the ,needy homes.
Starts Gifts Now
In order to start the fund square
ly no private canvass has been paid.
No person has been offered the op
portunity of “first to give" if he,
or she. would give a big sum. This
Is the first appeal. This week while
the more fortunate are being- thank- J
ful for their prosperity how many
will start contributions to the fund 3
for those who have not? The Star
hopes to publish a list of early
givers in the Thanksgiving edition?
Will you help* us realize that hope.
Contributions may be left "With VVel- |
fare Officer Smith at the court ?
house, or in The Star office togeth
er with the name of the giver, if
it is desired.
They Need It
Down in a business building a
busy comer of uptown Shelby there
is a little automobile in a display
window. Saturday a little girl, of
about seven years, and , a little
brother, not more than five, stood
and peered with hungry eyes at the
coveted prize. Finally they moved
on down street, the little yellow
looking back over his shoulder as he
walked. Would you like to fulfill
the longing in that youngster’s eyes?
What could give you more pleasure
Christmas mom?
Somebody will have to play Santa
to him. Nearly a year ago his San
ta died. In the eight months since
the father was left at the cemetery
life in that home hasn’t been so
wonderful. The mother finds it hard
to bring in the necessities of life.
The two tots Saturday jvere shiver
ing in the cold. A couple of little
coats and a couple pair of kiddie
shoes would be a mighty fine pres -
ent for those youngsters and a great
aid to a mother whose heart is
breaking along with her body as she
sees the little toes stickina out in the
chilly air. . '■> "i
Many Such
In spots here and there about
Shelby are many such homes—
many such scenes. Uptown here one
seldom sees the little tragedies of
life, and some of them are not so
little.
In issues to come The Star with
the aid or the welfare officer. Red
Cross workers, and members of the
Woman's club, will cite actual in
cidents of want and suffering about
us.
The best way to give is through
the fund. Individual giving and dis
tribution is all right, but on occa
sions there are others who think C 6
the same families you may think
of. That family may be remember
ed twice while Just across the street
another family will get nothing—
not a breath of the Christmas sea
son. Before The Star’s Christinas
Stocking fund is distributed the
welfare officer and his committee—
to be announced later—will make a
canvass of the entire section and
there will be no doubling up. The
fund will be spread Just as far as
it will go—not to buy trinkets and
playthings, but clothing, shoes, food
and coal. -
Can you enjoy your fine gifts and
trinkets knowing that within a mile
or so of your home actual necessi
ties of life are missing.
This is an early appeal, but it is
hoped this year to raise the great
est fund ever. Do not wait until
Christmast week to give. Start it
now.
