KILLING OF. AUTOTT
Body Found Riddled
With Bullets, on Lonely
Road.
Well Known In Orange
County.

ORANGE, Va. Sept. 6.-Sheriff
William c.: Bond late this evening
reports that no further clue has
developed in the murder of Burgess
Almond. whose body was found
riddled with bullets in his automo-
bile late Sunday night
Young Almond hid been to Cor
louisville to visit a young woman.
He was seen to pass through the
town with anoth II man in his cay-
but the person with him was not
recognized.
Several persons from Orange
passed the car standing by the
roadside and saw two men leaning
over the car. They heard groans,
hut thought the two men were try.
ing to get a drunken man into the
automobile.
That robbery was not the object
of the shooting is evidenced by the
fact that the young mans watch
and about IS in change remained IN
his pockets.
At the coroner's inquest it was
found that nine shots had been
fired into the body. two just above
the heart, one in the mouth and
six In the head. Besides. Almond
had been dubbed with a blunt in
strument.
The trampled condition OF the
road showed that the young man
was killed outside the car and that
he put up q desperate struggle.

LILY BLACKS CALL
NATIONAL MEETING
To Be Held as Congress Re-
assembles-NOminate
State Ticket.

RICHMOND. Va. Sept. 6.-Negro
Republicans of Virginia want to
know where they get off. They
made that quite clear in resolu-
tions adopted at a State convention
here that lasted well into the wee
sma' hours Of this morning. These
directed Joseph r. Pollard. State
chairman of the so-called Lily
Blacks. to arrange with leaders of
negro Republicans in other States
for a national conference in WASH
ington, the sessions of the confer
ence to begin simultaneously with
the reassemblinG of Congress. The
declared purpose of the confer
is to protest against Lily
whiteism" in Republican politics
and to determine the future rela-
tions of negro voters with the ma
tion1l Republican organization and
the Harding administration.
The convention nominated John
Mitchell. jr., banker and editor of
Richmond. as candidate for COVER
nor. Another nominee was Maggie
Walker, of Richmond, said to be
the only woman bank president In
the South. She was nominated for
superintendent of public instruc-
ton.
The action of the Lily Blacks In
putting a State ticket in the field
is due to the fact that the Lily
Whites. as the regular white Re-
publicans are called. have prac-
tically thrown them bag and bag
gage out of the party ranks. The
Lily Blacks are bOasting that they
will draw thousands of votes from
Henry W. Anderson, the Lily White
nominee for governor.
