VALERIA, YOU ARE EN-‘
T1RELY TOO GENEROUS
Badin. — Valeria Young, small
Badin girl, has a big heart that' is
entirely too generous.
Sent on an errand by her
mother, she was struck and knock
ed down by a passing automobile.
The driver, greatly frightened,
stopped his car and hurried back
to pick her up and rush her to a
hospital. He stopped dumbfounded
when the child arose and fled in
tears toward her home at top speed.
He followed her and was met at
the door by the little girl’s puzzled
mother. She informed him that her
daughter, sobbing greatly, had told
her that she had “run into a man s
automobile and would have to buy
him a new fender.’’
An examination revealed that the
child was unhurt.

Vanderburg Youth Says He
Is Not Fooled By Detectives
Youth Held For Slaughtering Family Says
Detectives Failed To Trap Him. Rebukes
Curious People Visiting Him.
I Gastonia.—Jacob Vanderburg, ^
;l7-ycar-old farmer youth, held in j
jail here on a charge of murdering
five members of his family and
burning the Vanderburg home in an
attempt to hide the crime last De
cember. is growing anxious for his
trial to come to the court.
He declares that the prison life is
so unlike his life on the farm that
it is affecting his health, and he
wants to "get out.1’
Vanderburg declared that, with
the exception of his attorneys, he
had not a friend in the world, and
that the many people who came to
see lum and talk with him were
merely the morbidly curious who
wanted to try to make him talk, and
then go away and misquote him.
Because he does not appear merry
all the time, Vanderburg believes
people think he is brooding over
his guilt, but he declares that he
has grieved greatly over the loss of
his mother, father two sisters, and
brother, and that the fact that peo
ple say I killed them makes it even
worse.”
Solicitor Carpenter having an
nounced that the trial will probably
be held about the’ middle of April,
Vanbcrburg today made the follow
ing statement:
"X read in The Gazette several
days ago that the solicitor stated
that he would try my case about
the middle of April,” says Jake. “I
hope that it will be tried then. I
have been restless and uncomforrt
able in jail, because I cannot take
exercise, and I jlo not feel well. X
have been on the farm all my life
doing farm work, and taking exer
cise every day, and to be shut up
between four walls changes my way
of living and its keeps me from
feeling well.
"My life in jail has been just the
opposite from what I have been
used to. I am 17 years old and
all that time I have lived on the
farm, and except the time when X
was in school, haven’t had much
chance to mix w'ith people. Now, all
my family have been taken away
from me, and they are charging me
with killing them.
"Because I do not look merry all
the time, people say X am brooding
and guilty. No one knows how
much 1 have grieved for my par
ents, brother and sisters. No one
who has not experienced shock from
the loss of their loved ones knows
what X have been through. Tills is
awful, but to have people say I
killed them when I didn’t, makes it
worse.
"Except my lawyers, I do not
know anyone who is my friend.
People come and talk, but I realize
that they arc not my friends. Many
of them go out and misquote what
I have said, and try to judge wheth
er I am guilty or insane by the way
I look and feel. I also know that
many are trying to deceive me and
betray me.
"The state had a man put in my
cell who belongs to the Burns de
tective agency, and he stayed in
there for hours one night, making
out he was a prisoner. He thought
he fooled me, but he didn't. I told
him I had nothing to soy to him.
"Then the state allowed Mr. Scott
a state detective from the insurance
department, to come into my ceil
and force himself on me for three
or four hours. He wrote out some
thing which I did not read, and he
read it over and said it was merely
a brief statement about the fire. 1
told him he had not wTltten it as I
had told him, and he said that
didn't make any difference and gave
it to me to sign. Then this man
Taylor who was convicted in the
federal court for embezzlement said
lie had six other ‘come backs’
against him after lie got out. He
has been telling lots of things not
true saying he had tales which I
had written. I did not and he
knows I didn't, although he and
that man that they call Col. Mor
gan tried, to get me to say that
could fix up a tale of self defense
for me, and I told them I had al
ready truly stated how it had all
happened, and X didn't want them
to fix up anything for me.
‘'They tell me that this man who
calls himself Col. Morgan, and who
made an agreement with my attor
neys for me, to try to find out who
it was, was acting double, and really
making out that he was working for
me. He said he had fooled my at
torneys when he told them that he
was working for me, and that he
laughed about it and said that was
part of a detective's business to fool
people. They say that he later re
ceived pay for working and trying
to convict me.
“One time he said, while he was
pretending to be working for me,
that Mr. Wagner and the other man
belonging to the Burns detective
agency In Atlanta who were employ
ed by the state to work up a case
against me, said alter spending four
or five days here investigating, 6nc
of them being in my cell trying to
fool me by saying he was a prisoner,
that they could find out nothing and
that they threw up their hands and
gave up the iob. Morgan when he
came to my cell and was trying to
get me to let him make up some
sort of tale along with Taylor, said
that Wagner and the other man
had torn my tale all to pieces and
had dug up all sorts of things out
at the house. Of course this was
not true and was different from
what he said before, but he was
trying to fool me into believing he
was my friend and could make up a
tale of self defense, or something
else for me. I didn not tell him any
thing.
"Then two months after the burn
ing, he claims he has found a
hatchet hidden out there, and some
other things. He didn't find it at
the place and the Burns man did
not find it there, so X reckon he Is
trying to fool somebody, but I reck
on he is the one who is being fool
ed.
"All sorts of people come in and
talk to me and ask me questions,
aud I try to keep away from them,
but what people get out and say
that I said things that I didn't. All
I ask for is a fair trial, and I hope
that this will be given to me before
long. I think when people know all
about it and what I have to say.
they will find out that I am not
guilty of killing the only people on
earth that I had any family ties
with, my own father, mother and
brother and sisters.”
