NAGNER CASE
BEGAN TUESDAY
Four Witnesses Heard First Day
in Trial of Wataugan at Wilkes
boro for Death of Dexter S. Byrd
on Christmas Day, 1926

Wilkesboro, March 14.-Hub S.
Wagner for the second time in less
than a year, faced trial here for his
life, this time upon the charge of
the doing to death of Dexter S.
Byrd, the second man he is alleged
to have killed at Foscoe on Christ
mas day, 1926. For the killing of
Earl Moody Wagner received a SEN
tence of not less than Is and not
more than 20 years in the state pen.
When court adjourned yesterday
afternoon but four of the states
30 or 40 witnesses had been exam
ined, Frank A. Linney conducting
the direct examination for the state
and Will C. Newland and A. l..
Brooks alternating with the cross-ex-
amining.
Jesse L. Coffey, an eyewitness to
the killing, was the first witness
called to the stand. He testified that
he saw Wagner retreat after shoot
ing Moody to the rear of a fertilizer
house and there appeared to reload
his weapon. He said the first shot
appeared to be aimed at Byrd's face,
the second at about the waistline and
the third, just before Byrd sank to
the ground.
The second witness, Shirley Cal
loway, was also an eyewitness to
the shooting. He testified that aft
er the killing of Moody, he hurried
in the direction of David Wyke's
store in quest of help to take care
of Moody. He met Byrd, told Byrd
that Wagner had killed Moody. An
instant later Wagner came up be-
hind him, having left the fertilizer
/, house and walked on up the railway
and Byrd said, "What's the matter,
Hub; what does all this mean?" He
said Wagner never spoke but swung
his pistol from behind his back and
holding it in both hands began shoot
ing.
Mr.. Galloway was subjected to a
vigorous cross-eXamination in which
he was asked if he didn't hear Byrd
threaten Wagner. He denied hear
ing threats made by Byrd.
William McCoin and Ralph Story
were the other two witnesses ex
amined, both relating about the same
facts as other witnesses with one OIL
two exceptions, where they had eth.
er not been present or were too fan
away to distinguish between objects
and persons clearly.
About a hundred people are here
from Watauga for the trial, ma.
jority of them being witnesses OF
relatives of the deceased and the
defense.
1t is expected that the defense
will have half a dozen or more wit
nesses to swear that Byrd threaten,
ed Wagnor, so the defense is wholly
relying upon self defense to save
their client from the death penalty.

An Expert in Government

Charles Evans Hughes introduced
Governor Smith to New York au-
dience recently as zone who repre-
sents to US the expert in govern
ment." When the petition held by
Hughes in the minds of the Ameri-
can people is considered the fore
going statement becomes pregnant
with meaning. Despite all that can
be said about his religion and his
views on the Volstead act, even his
political foes are bound to credit
Smith with being one of the few
men in America who can be classed
as an expert in government"
1t is hardly fair to Governor Smith
to attribute his fame to an attitude
on the Volstead act and his religion.
Neither is it reasonable to suppose
that had he not demonstrated quail
ties of honesty, ability and nobility
of purpose rarely found among the
public men of America, that he
would continue to rapidly gain
ground as candidate in every Sec
ton of the country despite the
greatest handicaps ever thrown
across the path of any presidential
aspirant.-Hickory Record.

GREAT SMOKY
MOUNTAIN PARK
Assured by Recent Gift of $5,000,-
900, Covers 700 Square Miles of
Mountains in North Carolina and
Tennessee

The gift of $5,O00,O00 by the
Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memo
rial to the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park fund announced last
week, insures the east of great
national park rivaling the national
parks of the west and is accessible
to three-fourths of the country's in
habitants. In magnitude the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park
will compare with the Yellowstone,
Yosemite, Grand Canyon and Gla-
cier National Parks. The Great
Smoky Mountain park will embrace
700 square miles of mountains,
scenic country in eastern Tennessee
and Western North Carolina. The
park will lie within Jackson, Swain
and Haywood counties in North
Carolina, and Sewer, Blount and
Coche counties, Tennessee.
The Rockefeller donation makes
certain that the S1O,000,000 goal
sought by those who conceived the
idea of the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park will be reached.
Nearly S5,OOO,000 has been raised
by public subscription and by legis-
lative appropriation in North Caro-
lima and Tennessee.
The S10,0O0,000 fund will be used
to purchase the vast tract of land
for the park The acquisition of
the land has been placed in the
hands of the North Carolina Nation
al Park commission in this state, and
a similar commission is charged with
Tennessee.
When the state park commissions
have assembled the lands for the
park, the two states will turn over
the area to the federal government
for park development by the Ma
tional Park service, which has super
vision over the great national parks
in other parts of the United States.
The five million gift by the Rookie
feller Memorial is said to be the
largest gift. for park purposes ever
made by the Rockefellers.
/ The Great Smoky Park will in
/ clude approximately 100000 acres,
: of which 100000 acres are of virgin
forests. Approximately half the
prescribed area lies in North Caro-
! lima and half in Tennessee.
Knoxville, Tenn, and Asheville
are the largest cities adjacent to the
park territory The park area has
within its borders a score of noun
tain peaks 5000 feet high or high
er. Hundreds of peaks tower above
5000 feet. A recent survey of the
projected park reserves wild animal
life showed that there were more
than 5000 red deer, and that black
bear, elk and smaller game were to
be found in abundance. The tract
contains more than 400 miles of
trout streams.

TAR HEEL RESORT CITY
FAVORED BY PRESIDENT

Washington, March 10.-Cf vari-
Gus invitations so far received for
this years summer White House,
President Coolidge finds one from
the south, at Asheville, n. c.. the
most attractive.
Although a final decision has not
yet been reached, residence offer
ed no later than Thursday by Philip
S. Henry of Asheville, appears to the
president to unite the essential fea-
lures for his 1928 vacation home.
Zealandia, as the Henry mansion
is known, occupies 100 or 120 acres
on Beaucatcher mountain at an alti-
tude of about 5000 feet, or about
500 feet higher than the city proper.
The place also is close to Wash
ington, relatively close to New Eng
land and at sufficient height to as
sure relief from the summer heat,
three factors which will figure in
the ultimate selection.
Asheville is only fourteen hours
from Washington by railroad, and
as such is looked upon by the chief
executive as within convenient dis
tance from his likely centers of
operation this summer. One of these
probably be Northampton, Mass,
where Mr.. Coolidge does not wish to
depart too far on account of the
condition of Mrs. Lemira Goodhue,
Mrs. Coolidge's mother, who has
been dangerously i'll since last De-
cember.

FOUR BILLION IMPORTED
EGGS FOR BRITAIN YEARLY

London, March 14.-Great Brit
aims breakfast egg bill mounts up
pretty high, the citizens of that
country consuming 5,700,000,00O
eggs a year. Native fowls only sup
ply two billion of these.
The sum of money spent by Brit
ain for eggs imported from outside
the British empire, which consti-
tute AZ per cent of Britain's impor-
tations of this article of food, ex-
ceeds the value of all the motor
cars, motorcycles, cycles and rubber
tires which Britain exports.
The imperial economic council
wants something done about it. Eng
lish hens laid 72 eggs in the pre-
war period to their present 10000,
