RAID ON MAIL VAN
KILLING z PROBED
Battle With Deputies Seeking
Liquor Is Waged in
Wilmington, N. C.
Ry the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
WILMINGTON, N. c., March 49,
A coroner's jury attempted today tc
untangle the confused details of a
Sunday morning pistol battle in which
a mail truck driver and deputy sheriff
we're slain. as five deputy sheriffs sought
rum runner.
The victims were Leopold Roberts
90, of Dudley. N. c., a driver under
Government contract, and w. P. Star
ling, 35-year-old New Hanover County
deputy sheriff.
The scene was at Greek Bridge, in
the outskirts of Wilmington, where the
deputies went at midnight Saturday on
a police tip that load of liquor was
on its way into the city.
Beginning its investigation yesterday
the jury was told by the officers that
the mail truck stopped on the bridge
and Roberts opened fire on them as
they approached after hating another
machine. There was no whisky in the
truck, nor was Roberts suspected as
being a rum runner. they said.
Four Deputies Escape Bullets.
Two bullets struck Startling, who did
not wear a uniform, and he fired twice
as he fell. The other officers, one in
uniform, then opened fire, and Roberts
toppled over with four bullet wounds.
Both men died before they could be
taken to a hospital
The other deputies-Porter Davis, E.
J. Hale, L. NJ. Massey and A. P. Crews
were not hit by any of the bullets.
From three young Wilmington women,
who rode with Roberts on the truck
from Goldsboro to Wilmington as pas
sengers, the jury heard a slightly diff
ferent version of the tragedy.
Elizabeth Hines said she took the
wheel when Roberts complained of a
severe headache at Tin City, 40 miles
from Wilmington, and was driving
when they reached the bridge.
Roberts told her to stop when he saw
the men on the bridge, she testified.
Several men ran toward the truck, she
said, and the shooting began. She did
not know the men were officers or who
fired the first shot, she added.
Turned Head as Firing Began.
Betty Gibson, who testified she was
a relative of Startling, said the officer
ran up with a gun in his hand, and that
Roberts said:
Don't you girls get excited. I will
take care of his
''Mr. Roberts got out Of the car" she
continued, and Mr.. Starting ran up
until they were right together, and the
shooting began.
81 do not Snow who fired the first
shot, because I turned my head 1t
sounded like new war had started"
Dorothy jackson, the third girl, cor
roborated the testimony of the other
two.
The jury continued its investigation
until late in the night and recessed I'M
til today. Coroner Asa w. Wells said he
expected the inquiry to be completed
this afternoon.
No Charges Yet Preferred.
No charges had been preferred against
any OF the officers last night, although
Ludlow Roberts, brother of the dead
man, said he expected to ask for grand
jury action, regardless Of the coroner's
verdict.

them, or by agencies working under
them, be ailocated to relieve suffer-
ing.
La Toilette pointed out in connec-
ton with his bill, that acceptance
Of funds is optional with each state,
and that his relief plan is in har-
mony with the Presidents conten-
ton that relief should be admins
tered locally.
The La Toilette bill provides for
appointment of a federal emergency
relief board OF three members, each
to receive $4,000 a year. 1t makes
the chief of the Children's Bureau
executive officer Of the board. Miss
Grace Abbott occupies this position
and La Toilette points out that she
has had greater experience in relief
work than any other officer of the
federal government.
Costigan's bill would put admin
istration Of relief funds in the hands
of the chief of the Children's Bu-
reau, chief of the vocational reha-
biitation service of the board for
vocational education, and the di-
rector of the extension service of
the department of agriculture.
Both bills suggest use of wheat
held by the Grain Sterilization
Corporation for relief of the needy.

purchase the wheat: Costigan would
require the corporation to donate it..

In August, 1929, about 1900 con-
victs, by prearranged plans, rioted
in the mess hall. The riot became
general, with convicts attacking the
guards with knives and dining hall
utensils.
Guards turned three fire hose on
the mutinouS convicts, but the pri-

guards and turned the streams on
them. Two guards almost were
drowned.
Mike Martiney, a convict. was
killed when guards opened fire on
a group Of convicts.
The gunf1re quelled the rioters
and all returned to their cells in
less than an hour.
The rioting followed general un-
easiness which was brought to pub

ing in the laundry. The riot broke
cut few days later, on Aug. l, 1929
No prisoners escaped, fifty were
injured, none seriously. Two guards
were hurt.
In 1901 the prison had its most
serious outbreak. One convict was
killed trying to escape and three
were killed while resisting recapture
some time later.
This riot occurred while the
