Virgil Fox Killed
By Hit-Run
Driver
Chief of Police J. A. Burns discarded
the theory of foul play in the
deatli of Virgil J. Fox, 28, of Bessemer
City, here last Saturday, after
two witnesses, ' Howard Turner ol
the Gastonia radio ' station, and
Daisy Payrte, Gastonia Nurse, volunteered
the Informtiou that they
saw an auoo run over Fox and continue
on it's way to Bessemer City,
The accident happened last Saturday
night between 11:00 and 12:00
o'clcck, on the Bessemer City highway.
about two blocks below the
Junction of the Bessemer City and

that they had just passed Fox,
and that Miss Payne had just remarked
that someone was liable to
hit him 0^h an auto, when a cat
struck him and did not stop. They
