Evidence lin High Point Trial Indi-
Gates Wide Operations of Gang of
Understanding Tale UnfoIded.

An amazing story, that would do
justice to Arabian knights" was
brought to the limelight in Recorders

members OF the "Lie and Kill' club, an
alleged gang of thieves organized in
Winston SaHem and which is said TO

ington, Greensboro, StatesviIle, Thorn
asville and High Point.
According to members of the club
who took the stand their purpose was
to take whatever they could get and
kill whoever happened to interfere
with them.
Coming ito High Point one night dur
ing the middle of March, the bands Sc
1ected as its zone of action the rear OF
the store of the Beeson Hardware
company, which happens to be exact
ly in front of police headquarters.
The thieves actually parked their car
almost in THE door OF police head Far-
ters, forced their way 1."ro the hard
ware store, carried out a number of
guns and knives and quantity of
ammunition and then returned to
Winston-Salem.
Police officers, evidence disclosed,
have been working on the case for
some few weeks and a day or so ago
conditions were ripe for the arrest of
Snipes, it is said. 1t is alleged that
his farm, located about three miles
from the Twin City, was used as
headquarters and place of storage
by the Gle and kill'' organization.
The state introduced today as it's
chief witness one Paul Livengood,
purpOrting to have been the very "life
of the party with an eight-cylinder
automobile, and acting as recorder, or
secretary o fthe club. And a sponsor
of the order, a Miss Cook, was intro
duced, both testifying that their home
was in Forsyth county jail where
they boarded with the sheriff. Follow
ing the hearing of the evidence,

fore Superior court grand jury un-
der bond of 5000, while the record
er and sponsor were eac- held as ma
terial witnesses under bonds of $500.

LOCKED WHEELS TURN CAR OVER

Still another automobile accident
occurred on the High Point Green's
boro road Friday night in which par
ties from Greensboro narrowly es-
capped serious injuries, and both cars
were damaged. S. r. Bivens, secre-
tary Of the local chamber of commerce
who is making his home in Green's
boro for the time being, was on his
way home Friday night about 1O:3O
according to his statement, when his
car was run into from the rear by a
Buick roadster driven by Ia young
man from Greensboro, who was ac-
companied by another young man and
three girls.
The front wheels of the roadster
locked into the rear tenders of Mr..
RiVens' Ford, and when the latter
turned off the road to let the young
people pass, th edriven of the Buick,
in attempting to pass, was unable to
dislOcate the front wheels, and the
added power given to the machine
turned it over. The High Point man
helped extricate the joy-riders, who
consistently refused to give their
names, but it was learned later that
one of the girls. sustained fractured
elbow, and another an ugly cut on
the hand.
Mr.. Bivens was uninjured himself,
although his Ford was considerably
damaged. He stated that he took the
number of the car and would make an
effort to discover the names of the oc-
cupants and recover damages.
