Henrietta Man Instantly Killed
When Car Collides With An
drew Dellinger Truck
Alvin Bradley, young textile
worker of Henrietta, was in
stantly killed in an automobile
collision about 9:30 this morn
ing not 35 yards from where
Paul Hampton, Ellrnboro school
! teacher, met his death a week
or so back.
The collision took place about one
quarter of a mile east of Ellenboro
on Highway 20 when the Ford coupe
in which Bradley was riding collided
i head-on with a Texaco oil t-uck
driven by Andrew Dellinger of Shel
by.and owned by the Riviere Oil Co.,
of this place.
Dellinger was injured as was the
man who was driving the car in
which Bradley was riding..
Dense Fog on Road
A heavy fog, which made it hard
to see along the low-lying streech
of road which has become a death
valley to Highway 20 motorists, is
considered at Ellenboro as being
partly, if not altogether responsible
for the fatal collision.
According to information given
The Star by the telephone operator
at Ellenboro, Dellinger was going
west driving his truck and the car
was coming east. The operator stat
ed that Dellinger's truck apparently
was on his right side. Anyway, just
I a short distance from where Paul f
Hampton met his death when his J
car, driven by a girl, hurtled into a
big truck, the car and the heavy oil
truck came together head-on.
Bradley, it is said was killed in
stantly while Dellinger after getting
to the telephone exchange a quarter
of a mile away was given medical
treatment, being brought to Shelby
later in the morning where his in

the car in which Bradley was riding
was taken either to a hospital or a
doctor for medical treatment, the
telephone operator said.

wert,,ffibught‘WfJP'JSWously injured.
Both the truck and the car were
considerably smashed up by the col
lision, it was said.
Dellinger after receiving treatment
at a physician's office here was
taken to his home cn the Cleveland
Springs read. His injuries, it was
said, consisted of bruises and lacer
ations about the head, arms and
body, but no bones were broken. He
has been employed with the Riviere
firm almost since it was organized
and was for years in the employ of
Arey brothers when they were oil
and automobile distributors.
Was Young Man
Bradley, who was killed in the
wreck, was said to be about 25 years
of age and employed in the cloth
room of the Henrietta mill. The El
lenboro operator, although not sure
as to the identity of the driver of
the Bradley car, said that she under
stood some one to refer to him as
Claud Ayers, or a name similar to
that.
MOVE LOCATIONS
Plans have been made for the re

Says Smith Will Define
Wet Positwn Next Week
Writer Believes New York Governor
Will Make Himself Clear
Wednesday
(Chas. Hand in N. Y. American)
Democratic drys are mistaken if
they assume that Governor Smith £
timid abput facing the prohibition
question in the impending contest
for the Presidential nomination. At
Albany yesterday the governor was
putting the finishing touches on his
message to the 1928 legislature and
including in a specific reiteration of
his views on liberalization and en
forcement.
Persons in the confidence of the
governor predicted that after the
message has been transmitted to the
legislature on January 4 there will be
no reason for a misunderstanding of
Smith's attitude toward the eigh
teenth amendment and the Volstead
law.
Smith has indicated heretofore
that the individual states should
have the right'to determine, within
the scope of the eighteenth amend
ment. what alcoholic content shall
constitute an intoxicating liquor.; A
restatement of this contention along
with a declaration favoring rigid
Federal enforcement of the Volstead
law so long as it remains upon the
statute books, is therefore antici
pated.
Message Is Longest
Seven years the occupant of the
executive chair at Albany, Smith
has written as many annual mes
sages for the opening of legislative
sessions. But that prepared for the
impending get-together of the state's
lawmakers is the longest and most'
detailed communication that has
ever borne his signature.
Many utterances by the governor
on state issues, declare those in his,
confidence, will have to be read in |
connection with the fact that he is |
quite generally considered tcrbe the |
most likely presidential nominee of j
his party next year.
A chapter on agriculture is expect
ed to provoke favorable reaction in 1
the northwest where the dissatis
faction among the agrarian elements
in the Republican party has long
given the national G. O. P. leaders
cause for uneasiness.
Panacea for Farmers
Smith, it is predicted, will have a
panacea for the farmers’ ills. Wheth
er it will take the form of a camou
flaged government subsidy or call, in
effect, for the accumulation of a re
volving fund, which would help the
land tillers finance their enterprises,
has not been revealed.
One of the strongest declarations
will relate to a waterpower. It will,
it is declared, reflect Smith’s pur
pose, if made the Democratic presi
dential nominee, to crusade in the
nation as he h*s in the state for
government ownership, control and
development of all natural resources.
The creation of a water power au
thority to develop the state’s water
power resources without cost to the
taxpayers or a pledging of the state's
credit will again be demanded by the
governor. In this connection it will
not be surprising to Smith’s advisers
if he hints that such a quasi-public
corporation should be established in
the nation to prevent what remains
of Uncle Sam's natural resources
from falling into the hands of pri
vate exploiters.
For the first time in the state's]
history.. tte-EOveinoP'g annual nws- i
sage will not set forth the financial1
condition of the state. That infor
mation will be transmitted to the
legislature In a second message on
January 15 in accordance with the
statute creating a budget to be pre
pared by the governor and delivered
to the lawmakers.
Indicating that if fee doesn't be
come ills party’s national standard
bearer in 1S23 lie will never again
run for govemr. Smith will let the
legislature know that the document
to be read when it convenes Janu
ary 4 must be considered the last he
will transmit on Capitol Hill.

HICKMAN ADMITS
ANOTHER MURDER
f LUST DECEMBER
Kidnaper-Slayer Says He and Pal
Shot California Drgjytut
One Year Ajs
Los Angeles. Dec. 30,—William Ed
ward Hickman, confessed kidnaper
slayer of 12-year-old Marian Parker,
has admitted another murder.
December a year ago Hickman
says he and a pal. Weiby Hunt, snot
and killed Ivy Thomas. Rose hill,
Calif., druggist, during a hold-up in
the drugstore. The confession was
made public by officers yesterday
after Hunt had been apprehended
and made confession which corrobo
rated that made by Hickman.
Kindness and consistent question
ing brought the second murder con
fession out. During the day a Jail
official would keep asking if there
was anything he wanted, winding
up with the query “have you ever
killed anyone else?" Finally Hick
man answered "sure—" and asked
for a pencil and paper and began
writing the confession.
Ilia Second Murder
“We <Hunt and Hickman) needed
money and that afternoon we saw
this place (the drug store) as we
drove by and we said we would
come back and get it that night.
It looked like it ought to be an
easy place.
“And when we came back that
night we had masks and we enter
ed the store and told the man and
the woman that were in there to
hold up their hands and go to
wards the back. There were two
or three customers in the store
and we made a}l these people go
back towards the back. There
were two doors in the back of
the store, one on each side, and
my partner went through the door
to the left with the customers, forc
ing them inside the little room in
the back of the store.
Both Open Fire
“When we got in the back we
saw the officer of the law standing
pin the rear and I called Weiby
to take his gun as I had my gun
da? him, but before he attempted
this the officer wheeled about in
a position just opposite me. He
stated firihg his gun at me and
just at the same time I started
firing at him—and Weiby started
firing. I was firing directly at the
policeman as far as I knew, and
I judged that Weiby was firing at
the policeman, although I did not
have time to watch him.
“When several shots had been
fired and only a few seconds elapsed
we both started to run from the
store. I left first. As Weiby left
the store he was limping. When we
got in the car he acted like he had
been shot and said he had been
shot. I drove the car and we hur
ried back to the room in the Altc
Hotel.
“We came in the back way and
entered our apartment and I took
off Welby’s overcoat and his other
coat and opened his shirt to see
just how he was shot. It seemed
that two bullets just cut the :lesh
on his rig^t shoulder. There were
two cuts on his right shoulder. I
saw they were not serious and took
a wet cloth and bathed the wounds.
Then I noticed on his left shoulder
a hole where I thought a bullet
had entered. It seemed as if the
bullet had gone in and .struck the
left shoulder blade and came out."
Other Robberies
After the Rosehill robbery and
shooting, Hickman said, he and
Hunt went to San Francisco,
where they staged thrtje robber
ies.
xncjr oiuic iuur ui ixvc auioino
biles, later to abandon them and
on January 15 returned by boat to
Los Angeles.
They made their home with Mrs.
Carrie M. Brickeil, of Alhambra,
Hunt's grandmother. Hickman said
that although she did not at tirst
know of their criminal activities
she learned of them later.
"That was after my mother came
to California.” Hickman said. “We
had our revolvers in a suitcase
but they were not discovered un
til sometime after my mother came
out here. We decided to take the
guns apart and »hrow them away
and to destroy everything we had
in connection with work."
The automobile used in the
Rosehill holdup, Hickman said,'was
a Chrysler sedan, which he and
Hunt had stolen in Kansas City
and which they drove to the coast.
The car was stolen, he said, on
Linwood Boulevard, just off Main
street. The car was unoccupied
and unlocked and Hunt drove it
away while Hickman followed In
a rented car.
