he left his family i'm Patrick county,
a few months ago and went to West

wife. Vicie Burches, became the agent
of some Yadkin county blockaders,
and opened up a blind tiger, which

last term of Federal court, at Green's

In the meantime her husband had
returned and endeavored to persuade
her TO live different life, but she was
so infatuated with her new-found
friends and the business that she de-
clarcd her determination TO continue

people would furnish it. The plan
was for the blockaders to deliver the
whiskey to her and she was to do the
selling
few nights ago Ray Reece, Jack Mur-
ply and two unknown men, accom-
panied by a woman came into the 10
cality with Il load of blockade Whls-
key and made their headquarters at

to their presence and to the influence
they had over his wife. Finally q
Quarrel ensued. which ended in a fight
i'm which pistols and knives were
freely used. the entire crowd attack
ing Burchett. shooting at him, cut
ling him N several places. and beat
ing him unmercifully. These crlml-
nails actually drove Burchett away
from his own home and forced MN 10
spend the night in the woods.
When he returned to his home the
next morning he found that his wife
and children had left, taking all the
money that he had saved up amount
ing to about $120. Inquiry disclosed
the fact that she had gone with Ray
Reece and his crowd. 1t is thought
TO be the purpose of the woman 10
