Rlchburg and others. Many of his happiest hours have been spent with them; they've exchanged gifts, scrapped, played "Injun,’’ policeman, and all that together, even to relating the imaginative bugaboo stories of boyhood. Already he's extended his Invitation for them to come down and play with him in Ids new home, and he's promised them he will be coming back.

J_— ■ ■_I ■■■■■! ■■■ ■■■ ' ■ ..- IIHHM— !■■■■ Vanderburg Boy Tells A Friend 7Know It All’-May Talk More ■ 1_^ Boy Giant Says “Nobody But Me Knows AIi About This.'’ New Turns. <J. A. Daly In Charlotte News.) Gastonia.—Preliminary "feeling out” of the mysterious situation having been completed, two opposed Investigations of the “Massacre of Vanderburg Farm" were moving vigorously forward here today un der the direction oftheGastoncoun ty authorities and of attorneys for Jacob Vanderburg. 17-year-old giant who is held on suspicion of having murdered liis father, mother, two .sisters and brother and burned their bodies and home. # Out of the brutal and sensational crime apparently are destined to come within a few days a number of additional 'startling disclosures, according to forecasts 'made by Coroner J. F. Wallace, Hherlff Eli Llneberger, and Marvin Ritcli, of Charlotte, chief counsel for sus pected boy. Startling Statement. An Independent investigation by a newspaper man developed that Vanderburg made in the presence of two persons this possibily sig nificant statement:' "There is nobody but me who knows all about this thing, and you can never make me tell.” Identity Hidden. For the present at least the iden tity of the two persons to whom this assertion was made cannot be disclosed because of the Insistence Of the comity authorities. Great Importance is attributed by the state to this assertion by the boy, particularly In view of the growing suspicion in some official quarters that more than one person was Involved in the perpetration of the quintuple murder. The state’s investigators seem to be analyzing the situation in con nection with the first part of that statement by Vanberburg In an ef fort to satisfy themselves that he * may be, or may not be, endeavoring | to shield an accomplice. The sec [ ond part of tliat statement by the | boy is subject to several lnterpre j tations. all but one of which, how ever, would imply a knowledge of j law presumably not possessed by the boy. He is physically strong and! apparently of great courage, and ! perhaps he is conscious that he can ; resist any forcible attempt to wrest 1 a confession from him. Unless he goes on the witness stand, should he be brought to trial, he cannot le gally be compelled to talk about this combination of murder and ar son. Yet Mr. Rich <has announced to The Charlotte News that "Jake will go on the stand and tell all he knows,” if he should be brought to trial. Another complication, regarded, however, as of somewhat minor im portance, was added to the investi gation when a third axe was found in the' ruins of the home, located on the outskirs of this town. County policemen found one axe Friday morning a few hours after the house was burned. The second axe was found late Satur day by a boy who was sifting the ashes by the wreckage of the fam ily's cookstove. The third axe was found yesterday. Investigation by a newspaperman disclosed that one of these axes Is "a good one,” an other is “dubbed,” and the third is “a stump axe,” the latter two being of little value as practical woodcutting tools. State, Defense Unsatisfied. So nearly perfect at present is the shield of mystery about the many details incident to the minutes Just before, during, and just after the grilling* that neither the state nor the defense is satisfied with its present position, as created by avail able testimony and evidence. The state is known to have doubts that evidence now in hand is sufficient to assure a conviction of the Van derburg boy. TOLUCA HID KNOB CREEKJLEWffi (Special to The Star.)

Livingstone tn News & Observer. Washington.—Charles A. Jonas Republican national committeeman from North Carolina and congress man-elect from the ninth North Carolina district, gets the blunder er’* prize in Washington political circles. Prank Kent, brilliant political writer for the Baltimore Sun, is fond of saying that Dr. Herbert Work is the prize blunderer in the Republican camp, but Carlisle Bar geron, who does the political observ-1 ing for the Washington Post, sug-! gests that Jonas is really entitled to it. "If the Republicans are really looking around for blunderers in their midst and accusing finger may certainly be directed at the Repub lican representative-elect of North Carolina, Mr. Jonas, who unseated a Democrat. Mr. Bulwinkle, in the battle or Charlotte last November ’ says Mr. Bargercn in his political column in Sunday’s Post. "Of all the folks in the world to select as the of attack none could be bettcr , n Mr- stedman to make the Southern Democrats re alize Ilia' the niemy is really ^ their midst and bent upon further deviltry:’ Mr. Bamgeron continues, i “So Mr Jona5 would have the Re publicans go aitsr his political scalp shoeing that Mr. Jonas doesn’t know h's ^>u(h> concludes the Waslungton F’"st scrlbc alter point ing out that Major Stedman Is"? real Confederate veteran, not one of the two-week kind and is the oldest member of the ho us.
