light at which Rev. Zensky Hinohara,
the young Japanese student at Trinity
College, read the New York papers
on his way from Greensboro to Dur

was routed put a huge smile on his
face. Asked as to Marshall Oyamas
ability he said he was the greatest
and best loved soldier of them all.
that his wife is a good Christian lady
and very popular with the soldiers.
Mr. Hinohara was once a Japanese
infantryman, belonging to Kurokis
division and he is enthusiastic in his
belief that the Japs will win the
fight. Said he, 1.-THE young Japanese

A FALL TO DEATH
Negro From Academy of
Music Window.
Nat Gill Drops Forty Feet lust Before
the Minstrel Performance and
is Pick ed Up
Dead.

Out from the playhouse into space,
drop of forty feet to the ground and
Nat Gill was dead.
This occurred at the Academy of
Music last night about $3.50 where the
negro had gone to attend the Georgia
Minstrels performance. The fall was
so quiet, and so sudden that but few
people in the house knew of it.
Gill, who has been for years a
driver for Upchurch & Holder is re-
ported on the statement of several to
have been drinking. He had secured
a reserved seat in the colored gallery
and passing in started down the low
steps to his seat.
But changing his mind he turned
and started up the steps at the side OF
the seats. Before he reached the top
he is said to have stumbled, his shoe
striking the edge of a step. He fell
to one side, and against the small iron
rods which protect the window.
These were not enough to hold him
in, for Gill is said to have weighed
about 225 pounds. The weight of
his fall broke down the bars from their
fastenings at the side. 1t is not known
whether or not the window was open
or shut 1t is fashioned as a double
door, and the impact of the heavy
body drove them open, if they We're
closed, or not meeting this resistance
went over into the night.
Not a sound did the man utter as
he fell to his death. Mr.. Sherwood
Upchurch, the manager of the Acad-
envy, was in the gallery at the time,
and near Gill. He saw him go down
the side aisle steps and return. saw
him stumble and then came the fall
through the window to the ground
which is forty feet below
Immediately Mr.. Upchurch, Mr..
Brewer and others rushed to the side
of the building and in the narrow
alley between the Bragassa store and
the Academy building the body was
found fiat on its back, arms extended,
the man dead. DR.. Farrow was called
and pronounced life extinct.
The body was taken to Gill's home
on Mcdowell street back of the gas
house. His wife was there and just
before the body was taken in the terri
BILE news was told to her. Gill was
between So and so years of age and
his employees say that he was faith
full worker, though it is stated that he
was drinking yesterday and a flask
with some whiskey in it was taken
from his pocket after the fall to
death.
An examination of the body shows
that Gill's neck was broken by the
fall. No blood was seen on the body
though 1t is probable that in the fall
it struck against the side of the Bra
gassa building. DR.. Farrow says that
death was instantaneous as the body
struck the ground.
In the Academy few knew of the
accident and the minstrel show went
on. The negro, who had started out
for an evening of pleasure was dead
and his home a place of mourning.
