AUTO Of SLAIN
VA. COUPLE
IS FOUND
Abandoned in Richmond by
Men Who Killed Aged
Farmer and Wife

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, April
4.-Police had one slender clue to-
day as they pushed a Statewide
search for the torture-murders Of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Thomas Cole
man, well-to-do farmers, near here
Tuesday night.
The Coleman family automobile,
in which the slayerS fled after
hurting the bodies of the elderly
couple into a backyard well, was
found today in Richmond. That,
police, said is their only clue.
Nearly a score of colored men
have been questioned and cleared
in the case since the crime was
discovered early yesterday. 1t is
the belief of investigators that
two or three colored men COM
mitted the crime. They assert
there is no evidence to show
whether the slayerS were tramps
or men familiar with the COM
munity.
Mr.. Coleman, II, and his wife,
IS, both members of prominent
Virginia families, were beaten and
shot to death and their bodies
cramrned down a 40-foot well on
their farm, IL miles from here.
The killers had stolen a shot
gun belonging to Mr.. Coleman and
used this as the death weapon, Of
ficers said after investigation.
It is believed the thugs got away
with considerable money, and two
boxes, believed to have contained
other valuables, were found broken
open, the contents missing.

that after NRA codes went into

the way the boys were forced to
stay at the plate until they
bunted properly.

"The trouble with these fel-
lows is that they try to make
base hits out of bunts," said
Harris. 'Tt is pitiful to see
pitchers who have been in the
majors for several years get
up there and sprawl all over
the plate trying to sacrifice.
Most of the time hey miss a
couple and then have to swing.
If they would only stand at the
plate and just tap that ball
down.
"I'lI wager that big league
clubs lose 10 or more games a
year because some pitcher can
not bunt properly. And this
goes beyond the pitchers, for
that matter. Look at that fel-
low up there now: trying to
make a base hit out of a sacri-

STAND flat footed and get
that ball down." Harris ordered.
Don't move until the ball is
hit. Make the third baseman
charge in for that ball and
keep it away from the pitcher"

MILL CREEK RESIDENTS
ARE PROUD OF NEW ROAD

The residents of the Mill Creek
section, near Todd, are extremely
we'll pleased with the progress that is
being made on their new road that
runs from the top of the Laurel Knox
Gap to intersect with the Mill Creek
road at S. L. Houck's. The gravel top
is being put on and the people there
think that Messrs. Council and King,
and Mr.. Avery Williams are building
one of the best hard surface roads
in the county. They particularly ap-
preciate the interest the road men are
taking in the construction of the road.
1t is thought that the Mill Creek
road will be regarded to the old N1il-
road at the mouth of the creek.
/, The road has already opened up a
market from South Carolina to
Georgia for the produce that is raised
in that section, and bids fair to be a
help to the whole county.

TRAIL OF K|DNAPERS
One $40 Ransom Note Has Already
Been Passed to Buy Rail-
road Ticket

The trail of George Weyerhaeuser's
100000 kidnapers warmed Tuesday
night with eastern Oregon, and the
statement of a justice department
spokesman that the case will ''break
wide open in 48 hours"
One of the five thousand 500 bills
paid to ransom 9-year old George
Weyerhaeuser of the wealthy timber
family, was spent Sunday night at
Huntington, Ore, to buy a railroad
ticket to Salt Lake City.
A Department of Justice spokes-
man said George, returned home Sat-
urday after his family paid 100000
ransom, would not for the present be
taken out to search for the kidnapers'
hideaway, where he was held prisoner
for a week, but admitted the Omen
were looking to the youngster for aid.
"George's descriptions and recollec-
tons are what we are interested in
most" said the Department of JUS
tice spokesman. He would not reveal
whether the boy had been subjected
to any thorough questioning, but it
was learned from the little boy that
he was carried on the back of the
kidnaper's car pushed down into a
trunk.

Stages CREEK WINS TWICE
IN 2 FAST BASEBALL GAMES

The undefeated Stages Creek base
ball team piled up an early lead to
defeat the Teaberry Wilcats 7 to 2,
Saturday, June /, and later was
pitched to victory over the Dog Greek
Bulldogs by the right-handed ace, Ira
Black. The score in the Dog Creek
game was 3 to /.
In the first game of the afternoon,
the one with Teaberry, the Stages
Creek team started their rally in the
second inning when they sent two runs
across the plate. This smuggling was
kept up through the game to send
Lambreth out of the box. He was re-
lieved by Elmer (Buck) Jones, who
was touched for several hits. Sheets
held the losers under his control and
contributed two hits.
In the game with Dog Creek, the
winners chalked up their sixth
straight of the season. Goodman and
Severt were in the box for the losers
and were touched for II hits.
Stages Creek will play Dog Greek
on the Dog Creek diamond on Satur-
day at three o'clock.
