MOTIVE DEBATED
IN COED Staying
Prosecutor Disagrees With
Sheriff's Theory Attack
Was Planned.
BY Tie Associated Press.

ASHEVILLE, N. c., August Ii
Authorities differed today over the
motive in the Helen Clevenger murder
case while preparations went forward
for the trial of Martin Moore, colored
hall boy, charged with killing the l8-
year-old college girl.
Sheriff Laurence E. Brown said he
was convinced the gangling, six-foot-
three prisoner went to the girls room
in the fashionable Battery Park Hotel
to attack her and killed her when she
screamed.
The sheriff added. however, he did
not believe an assault was actually
attempted. Physicians, early in the
case, did not agree on this phase.
Disputing the sheriff's theory, Soil
citor Zeb v. Nettles, who will prose-
cute the case, said 1.-The sex angle is
out altogether"
He asserted he believed Moore
entered the room solely to loot it and
shot the girl in a moment of panic
when he was frightened by her outcry.
That was the story Moore related
in a confession Sheriff Brown and
other officers announced that he made
after his arrest.
Il accept the Negroes story" Soil
citor Nettles said.
Sheriff Brown said he was through
with the case"
THE grand jury and the solicitor
can have him." the sheriff said. Hes

to know"
Nettles disclosed he planned to hand
the grand jury bill Of indictment
next Monday and that the 22-year-old
Negro would be tried at the term of
