Slayer of Beason Moved To Another Jail; Tells Of It Information from Rutherfordton lias It that George Connor, fifty-two year old man, held without bail for killing Clyde Beason, Cleveland county native., Sunday afternoon at Cliffside, has been moved to anoth cr jail from Rutherfordton by Sher iff w. c. Hardin. When asked why the prisoner was moved Sheriff Hardin said that while he thought the prisoner would have been save in the Ruth erford jail it was a move made for added safety and for the good of the county, refusing otherwise to comment upon any reports about a lynching. Is Not Here. Officers here today stated that Connor had not been placed in the Cleveland county Jail. Luther Hamrick, young man who entered the Cliffside cafe with Bea son and was slightly cut in the brawl in which young Beason was killed, li/es, it Is learned near Mt. Pleasant Baptist church in this county. Tells Of Killing. The Rutherford Sun gives Con nor's story of the killing as fol lows : After giving his name, age, ad dress and occupation, Connor in re ply to questions said he could not account for the killing. He had been in the cafe waiting for some friends; his knife had been in his hand, it was opened; just why he was holding the knife lie did not know or could not recall. Clyde Beason, he said, came in the eat ing place; he greeted him, for^they had always been good friends— there had never been a quarrel or words of any kind between them. For some reason, just why he did not know, Connor alleged, Beason had cursed him violently. He had told the younger man not to curse him again, but he had done it, and at the same time had either hit him or thrown a bottle at him which had struck on the side of his head, he could not recall which had happened. “After the bottle hit me,” said Connor, I knew nothing; I was in a kind of dare—my head still hurts.” After a pause the pri soner stated, "I stated to him, ‘Look out, Clyde. I’ve got a kniie in my hand, I might cut you!’ and Clyde said, ‘You’ve already done it.’ I can't remember any more. My head hurts me. Clyde and me were friends, I wouldn't have hurt him— I don t remember—I'm still in a kind of daze.” Rollins Brothers Run Amuck With Guns Over Rutherford Echols And Hade Hollins In Jail Al Rutherfordton After Hen rietta Shooting.
