King Not In Asylum-Another Rumor From South Carolina Is Spiked By His Attorneys Here South Carolina Reports Have Him About Committed To Asylum But King And Law yers Had Not Heard Of It At All. Kafr King is nni in .in asylum and. so far as King and bis l.iw ; rrs I mm, tin attrmpt has been made in get him into an insane in stitution, nor is such a move anti • Ipatcd by them. Tlius"is another of the increasing umors about (ho King case tlirot led by actiiBl fact. Many Rumors. Rumor after rumor, most ol them not founded on facts according tf> King's attorneys, have poured out of South Carolina since the Shelby man was granted bail after being arrested in connection with the mysterious death at Sharon. S. C. of his wife. Kaye Wilson King, last Jnnfiary. But this last rumor, which gained full sway Tuesday, seemed to be the most persistent of all. Calls came to local newspaper men, to Clerk of Court Hamrick, to ■other county official:;. and to King's attorneys Tuesday wanting to know’ if it were true that King was in an insane asylum, or if a move had berm made to enter him in one. The absurdness of the persistent queries amused Clyde R. Hoey and B T. Falls, the defense attorneys, and more than ever perplexed King os to why and how so many wild rumors could originate at Sharon and York about him and the death of his wife. •Such a rumor is without any f<.mnclnt.ion at, at*'’ declared At tor nr.y lloey when queried. "However, thpsc w ho started it or have heard it; just refuse, it seems, to believe that, it isn’t so. Not content with a kin;.: me or the sheriff's office here about it, several rails have come, I understand, to Mr. A. M. Hamrick, clerk of court, asking him if lie Inis signed committment pa nels to lie- asylum. "Its really surprising how many rumor:, and wild reports have been started in tills ease and how they grow with trilling,” lie concluded. One of the rumors had It that the proper entrance papers were being prepared by Dr. Hord at Kings Mountain, but in North Carolina the clerk of superior court must sign such papers before a patient can.be admitted Into an asylum, and Clerk of Court Ham rick has seen no such application. Neither has the county physician, Dr D. F. Moore, been consulted in regards to tlie matter. And since King knows nothing about il. his attorneys know noth ing about it, tlie clerk of court knows nothing about it. and tlie county physician hasn’t benrd of tt, it just must riot- be so. .lust how many ol the other ru mors spread in the case will prove to be fact or fancy may not be known until the trial comes up next month, sav the King attorneys. National Enforcement Commission I Among the possibilities suggested as members of a com mission which would study means to enforce the dry law, Julius Rosemvald, left, George Wharton Pepper, right, and Newton D, Baker, below', arc the most probable choices. Their duties would also include the study of the enforcement of every other branch of Federal law.

Seek Girl Witness to Walsh Slaying New York’s inquiry into the death of Arnold Rothstein is being held up indefinitely since the killing of Thomas (Fatty) Walsh, left, Roth stein’s bodyguard, at Miami-Biltmore Hotel, Coral Gables, Fla. Walsh, who had been living quietly in his beautiful home, above, at Miami Beach, was thought to have been told by Roth stein who killed the gambler. When an unknown assailant snufled out Walsh and wounded Arthur Clark, shown below with his friend the day before the shooting, police hopes of solving the mystery went glimmering. Demaris Dore, Broadway hostess, is alleged to have witnessed the slaying of Walsh, but through fear would not speak the name.

NEWSPAPER TAX MEASURE DEFEATED A message from Mr. Weathers, editor of The Star, who is: today in Raleigh on behalf of the North Carolina Press association, of which he is president, fighting the pro posed newspaper tax, states that the tax has been defeated. It was proposed to tax the state's newspapers by way of supplement ing revenue to swell the budget. The Press association took the posi tion that such legislation would be discriminatory, and lodged a vig orous complaint against it. Today's was the second visit Mr. Weathers has made to the capital in the in terest of defeating the proposed measure. A New* York policeman stopt a hold-up man by butting him in the stomach.
