GLADEWATER, Tex, May a.
Enough nitroglycerin to wreck the
tallest skyscraper in America was
brought here to be set off today at
the mouth Of the Sinclair Compa-
ny's Cole wild oil and gas well.
Field crews had everything in
readiness for the attempt to snuff
out the flames in which nine men
met death last week. Harry Kin
ley, young Oklahoma oil and gas fire
fighter, will take ITO quarts of the
explosive to the mouth of the well.
It was hoped the force of the
blast would separate the column Of
fire frsm the gushing fuel so the
well could be capped. Water was
pumped about the base to prevent
rekindling.

FOURTH DEATH
RIDDLE FACED
BY SAN DIEGO
Telephone Operators Body
Found; Eleven Wounds
From Knife.

By United Press
SAN DIEGO, Cal, May An. z.
Garrison, railroad employe, was
held today by police, who declared
they were not satisfied with his ex-
PLANTATION of his visit late Saturday
night with Hazel Bradshaw, o.
year-old telephone operator, found
stabbed TO death.
Conflicting stories of a taxicab
driver and a street car conductor,
coupled with Garrison's asserted in
ability TO explain what happened to
a brown suit it was said he wore.
caused police to predict they were
near a solution of San Diego's
fourth murder mystery in seven
weeks.
Eleven Knife Wounds
Miss Bradshaw's body was found
behind wall in the Indian village
at Balboa park, with eleven knife
wounds on her body, six Of them in
the region Of the heart.
Garrison took her to a motion pic
ture show Saturday night, after they
left the railroad offices where both
worked.
Shortly before midnight, Garrison
said, he and Miss Bradshaw walked
TO her home through q little valley
that passes the Indian village, now
used as a Boy Scout camp.
He kissed her good night at her
doorstep, he said, and went home.
Miss Bradshaw never entered her
home, relatives said.
Stories in Conflict
Corroborating Garrison's story was
the statement of j. NJ. Hughes,
street car conductor, who said Gar
rison was a passenger on his car
shortly after midnight.
Police were ready to accept this
story when H. j. Collins, a taxi
driver, identified Garrison as a man
he took to the El Centre apartments,
where Garrison lives, at a. m. Sun
day.
With Garrison was a girl, Collins

Bradshaw.
Garrison was slightly intoxicated,
he said, and carried q package
which resembled a bottle.
Not far from Miss Bradshaw's
body, the remains Of a quart bottle
Of wine was found.
Suit Statement Disputed
Police we're told by Garrison's
landlady that when he left his
apartment Saturday he was wear
ing a dark brown suit. Garrison
denied owning such a suit, police
said.
w. H. Parker, Garrison's superior,
declared Garrison often wore a dark
brown suit to work.
The three other unsolved muir
ders here in recent weeks were the
kidnapping and Staying Of 1O-year-
old Virginia Brooks last February;
the garroting and hanging of Louise
Teuber, 17-year-old clerk, April 18,
and the stranglirg Of Mrs. w. B.

Many a man down in the body
of the house has gone 70 sleep
while a sermon or a speech was
in progress, but in the course Of
Archibald Henderson's speech in
Scotland Neck on Thursday af-
ternoon of last week Lamar
Struggled, composer and flutist,
went sound asleep while seated
on the platform in full view of
the audience. His slumber stir
red the audience to gales of
laughter, but he slept right on
through the storm.
Mr.. Struggled had good ex-
cuses. In the first place, he haa
given a performance in Ahoskie
the night before; had engaged
actively in travel over BERTHE
and Halifax counties all day
Thursday; had spent his energies
in expounding folk music to
scores of people; had been fed
bountifully on corn bread and
fried chicken and buttermilk and
the other good things that east
ern North Carolinians provide
for visitors in such abundance ;
and had opened this evenings
program with a talk on music
and practical demonstrations
with his flute. Hence he was
very tired: In the second place,
being a fellow townsman of Mr..
Henderson's, and having con-
versed with him frequently
about Shaw and Einstein, and
the extent of the Universe, and
drama and music, he was already
familiar with the subject mat
ter of the address.
The occasion was meeting of
the Literary Club of Scotland
Neck, and between $50 and 200
citizens, mostly women, gathered
in the school auditorium to hear

the celebrated Chapel Hillians.
When Mr.. Struggled finished
his part of the program he
bowed gracefully and moved
over toward the cend of the plat
form and took his seat in rock
ing chair. Mr.. Henderson, af-
ter being properly introduced,
launched upon an entertaining
talk on modern thought as per-
sonifed in Shaw and Einstein
and other notables. He kept his
hearers so keenly interested that
for a while they paid no atten-
ton to Mr.. Struggled in his
rocking chair.
1t was Robert w. Madry, head
of the University News Bureau
and one of Scotland Neck's dis
tinguished native sons, who first
noticed that the compOser-flut-
ist was asleep. Mr.. Madry was
also on the platform and was
seated only four or five feet
from Mr.. Struggled. Glancing
SideWise. he saw that Mr.. String
fields head had fallen against
the back of the chair and that
the eyes behind the horn-rim-
med spectacles were firmly
closed.
Mr.. Madry revolved in his
mind the notion of giving the
sleeper a vigorous punch in the
ribs; but that would not do, be-
cause it would be too conspicu-

Snake-Bites
X cen Interest in Them as Warmth
Brings Reptiles Out

Mr.. Beard told me that when
he was in the North he had seen
DR.. do Amaral, the celebrated
Fred Mccall, the law profes-
sor, killed copperhead in his
cellar recently, and reptiles of
this and other breeds have been
seen in and about the village.
AS always at this time of the
year, there is some alarm about
snake-bites.
The day after Mr.. Mccall
smashed his visitors head with
a poker l came across Grover
Beard, dean of the University j
pharmacy school, in Eubanks
drugstore, and questioned him
about the anti-snake-bite serum
of which | had read in newspa-
pers and magazines. Also, |
asked Mr.. Eubanks if he kept
any of the serum here. He said
that he had never had a call for
it and did not keep any on
hand; but, at my suggestion, he
communicated with a wholesale
drug dealer in Durham and
found that it was kept in stock
there.
Although copperheads are
seen frequently in the summer
months, nobody hereabouts has
been bitten by one within Mr..
Eubanks' memory, and he has
been a druggist here for about
forty years. Snakes do not go
out of their way to bite people
their disposition is always to
run away. But if they are trod
upon or forced into a cornec
they will strike, and of course
there IS always a chance,
though it is remote, that a per-
son may come upon a copper
head unawares and get bitten.

The Carr building, which was
