OF MURDERS
COMMITTED YEARS AGO
Jacobs Brothers In Jail Here Await
ing Hearing in Recorders Court
Next Week

Accused of the murder of two
men whose death occurred more than
two wears ago and which proved Il
riddle to local authorities, General
Jacobs, and his brother Lawrence
jacobs are being held in Jail here,
pending hearing in County Court.
General Jacobs was arrested in
Washington, y. c., and is charged
with the murder of Nehemiah ID.
Pcndlcton. merchant of Weeksville,
who was killed with a club near his
store in April 1923. Washington
police heard rumors that led them
To arrest Jacobs. and force Il con-
fcSSion from him. Away from
washington. Jacobs AYERS that he is
innocent of the crime. and that the
confession WAS scared from him, by
policp who threatened tO kill him.
There is said to be little evidence
against him.
Ills brother, Lawrence Jacobs.
WAS arrested in Grccnvillc at the
request of Sheriff Carminr, and is
charged with the murder of Mack

ROANOKE ISLAND FOLK
STRONG FOR THIS ROAD
Petitioning State Highway CoElmls'
SIGN to Reclaim Territory
Left Out.

A strong petition asking for an
extension of the State Highway on
Roanoke Island, and endorsed by all
thc interests of the island, has been
forwarded to the State Highway
Commissioner. requesting an cXten-
sion of the highway recently con-
Strurtcd. that it may more adc-
uuatcIy serve people living Ill il Wlae
area that was isolated by the road.
When engineers surveyed the pre-
sent road, i'm order to make a direct
road from MantcO to Fort Ralel"h'
they struck line far over on the
east side. of the island. and the ROAD
was 50 constructed. Many people
living on the west side of the norm
end, were left farther from public
road than before. However. to con-
struct branch road, as has been
done on the South End of the island,
TO serve the needs of all citizens,
will cost but little, as very Slttle
right of way needs to he cleared,
since the route where the citizens
asks the extension. would cross q
number of clcaringS, and the eAGl-
ncers would have to clear only about
200 valds. it is said.
The petition, which was forward
ed thru the Elizabeth City Cham
ber of Commerce, requests the Com
mission to give the citizens some re-
lief as early as possible. The pre-
sent road now connects Manteo with
Fort Raleigh, which with one eX-
ception, is as far north as the Is
land is inhabited, ard as far as
traffic extends. 1t also connects
the county seat with TWO branches
connecting with WanCleAe and Mill
Landing. to the South end of the Is
land, and the citizens believe some
thing should be done to connect the
west and central sections OF the
North end of the Island, especially
since the proposed short extension
could be made to serve the people OIL
Manns Harbor and other points, as
it would terminate at the point Oh
the shore, nearest to the people OI
Mains HArhor.
