by Wade Ridley. Ridley lives in the
country outlying from Westminster,

man Of selective draft age. He would
have been in training In the army
him on his and other affidavits to the
effect that there was sickness in his
family and that extension Of time for
going to the military camp would be
| for the betterment of members Of his
family, dependent upon him. Few
details Of the affair can be gotten.
but it is known that Ridley is in Gus
tody in Georgia to await trial for
murder, and the developments of the
| immediate future will determine
whether or not his crime will be a
double murder. 1t is said that Rid
ley was so drunk that he did not real
iZe what he was doing. The Difficult
ty that preceded the killing occurred,
we are informed, in the public high
way at or near Pine Mountain. Rid
ley doing the shooting while stand
ing by the buggy in which the two
men were seated, or probably stand
ing on the opposite side Of the veht-
Gle from Ridley. Ridley is scheduled
for military service In Glass 1 and
would have been due to go to camp
among the next ones called to the
colors. We are not able to secure
definite statements as to relationship
Of the parties, but 1t Is reported that
the Hicks brothers were brothers-in
law of Ridley.
