Of BURNING z GIRLS
To GET INSURANCE

Charles Hawkins, fifty-nine, is in
Jail here charged with murder and
arson following the finding of the
mutilated and charred bodies of his
fiveyear, old daughter, Nancy Haw-
MS, and his twelve-year-o step
daughter, Rosa Ledwell, in the ashes
of his home, three miles south of
Johnson City, which burned to the
ground early Thursday, Arrest of
Hawkins followed an inquest into

stances attending the burning of the
house were Brought out in testi-
mOny.
The two bodies were charred to
a crisp, some of the limbs being
burned off, and much Of the flesh
consumed. A deep cut on the fore
head Of the older girl was said by
a physician to have been made APP
parently before the fire, probably
with an ak. The upper part of the
skull of the younger girl was crush
ed off when discovered.
Hawkins stated that he was awak.
ened about midnight to find the room
filled with flames and smoke; that
he rushed out, procured a bucket
of water, returned and threw it to-
ward the bed where the two girls
were sleeping. He said he called
once, but got no response; then went
to another room and procured a
shotgun which he fired to attract
of neighbors, the section
of country being sparsely inhabited.
When arrested, Hawkins had in
his pockets two insurance policies
on the lives of the two children, for
$3.50 and $310, respectively. He
testified that he had been keeping
them in his barn, but had them in
his possession at the time of the
fire. He appeared little concerned
over the occurrences of the day.

ACQUITTED
Of BANK.WRE:CK
CHARGE IN CAROLINA

WILMINGTON, N. c., Feb. 16.-
(By the Associated Press. )-Acquit-
ted this afternoon Of a charge Of
conspiracy, Lieutenant Governor w.
B. Cooper, of North Carolina, ex-
pressed confidence that he would be
completely eXonerated Of other Grim
inal charges brought against him as
chairman of the board of the defunct
Commercial National Bank of Will
mington.
The verdict of the jury delivered
this afternoon freed Lieutenant Gov
ernor Cooper and Thomas E. Coop
er, his brother, OH the first of five
indictments brought in connection
with the banks failure. The other
charges are set for trial at the regu-
lar term of court in May.
Belief that the 0ury's verdict was
vindicaticn of charges of conspiring
to defraud and to misapply funds of
the Lank of which he was innocent
was expressed by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Cooper. He said he had not
resigned his office in the state gov
eminent because he had felt conf
dent that he would be acquitted.
my relations with the bank were
honest and my efforts were to build
up" the lieutenant governor said
tonight, land L believed all along
that the jury would not find that
1 had conspired to wreck it." No
statement was made by the young
err brother, who was president of the
bank.
The jury's verdict came after two
weeks of a trial which has been I'M
usual in that it was the first crimi-
nal action in North Carolina In
which a prominent bank official has
been the accused. The jury received
the case three hours before it's de-
cision was announced by J. L. Out
law, of Duplin, the foreman, and
after three ballots had been taken.
1t was reported that the vote was
eleven to one for acquittal on the
first two ballots.
Judge Henry G. Connor commend
ed the jury on it's verdict and said
that if he had been a member Of the
jury he also would have voted for
acquittal.
Judge Connor's charge to the jury
eliminated from consideration Of the
jury all of the charges except that
in connection with a note for $13, 800
signed by E. L. Sanderson, of Cerro
Gordo, N. c., as an accommodation
paper for T. E. Cooper The indict-
ment charged that through this
transaction, the brothers had con-
spired to convert $12,9O5 of the
banks funds to helpersonal credit
of T. e. Cooper. Judge Connor found
for the defense on it's contention
that conspiracy had not been proved
in connection with fifteen other al
legged offenses and twenty alleged
overt acts in the Indictment, includ-
ing the sale Of most Of Lieutenant
Governor Cooper's stock in the bank
before its failure.

beg that you will read 1t ard find
this out for yourselves. Read, not
little snatches here and there, but

always; and the more you read, the
more it will become plain to you
what things are worth while and
what are not. what things make men

Made Recipe to Darker Gray Hair

Mrs. M. D. Gillespie, well-known
beauty specialist of Kansas City, re-
Gently gave out the following state
ment regarding gray hair:
anyone can prepare simple
mixture at home that will darken
gray hair, and make it soft and

l ounce OF bay rum, a small box
Of Barbo Compound and IA ounce of
glycerine.
These ingredients can be pur-
chased at any drug store at very lit

obtained. This will make a gray
haired person look twenty years
younger. It does not color the scalp,
is not sticky or greasy and will not
rub off."-(Advertisement)
