The prize winners OF the boys
clubs report that they plowed their
land S. 8 and 10 inches deep In

The triple tragedy was the result

The car was bound from Washing

in his hand ,andBethea fired a second
shot into the negro's body. Then
without a word, he shot Wellman
through the heart. The conductor
fell dead in his tracks. When Be-
thea fired, the conductor threw up
his right arm to protect himself.
The bullet struck his arm and con-
tinuing, ploughed through his body
and lodged in his heart.
Before the passengers could inter-
fere the double murderer barricad-
ed himself in the toilet room of the
Pullman car and threatened to kill
the first person who approached.
Meanwhile, the train reached
Wilmington. When it came into
the station, a hurry call was sent to
the police station and a squad OF
patrolmen, ran to the scene.
The police called upon Bethea to
surrender. AS an answer, he open
ed the door of the toilet room a
short distance and opened fire at
the police and the crowd with an
automatic revolver. Chief Of Po-
lice Black, VINO also rushed to the
railroad station, lodged behind an
express office on the train floor just
in time to escape several bullets.
Bethea is believed to have had at
least 100 rounds of ammunition,
for he succeeded in holding the
posse at bay and also held up the
train from SIT until 6.35. Dur
ing this time many shots were
fired on both sides until finally all

When the battle had lasted about
