NEW HOMES IN
GLOVER PARK:
The location of these new homes
in Glover Park leaves nothing to
be desired. They are located on a
high elevation, near schools,
churches. stores and tranSporta-
ton, yet in a quiet, cool, delight
full community OF new homes.
Each house has six rooms, two
baths, beautifully finished recrea-
ton room, library, a kitchen that
has all modern improvements for
step saving, a built-in garage and
all those extra little touches so
important in the home. To my
way of thinking the most i'm
portant feature of these homes is
the fact that they have the new
est in gas air-conditioning and
heating systems, assuring health
and comfort all year around. They
are priced around $4,000 and can
be purchased on very reasonable
terms. For your inspection there
is an exhibit house completely
furnished Why not drive out to-
day and inspect them?
10TH STREET EXTENDED:
For the family needing lots Of
space, these new homes on 18th
Street Extended would be ideal.
They are located in one of the
finest residential sections of the
city and have every convenience
to make living worth while. They
are two-story detached houses,
situated on large lots and consist
of 6 bedrooms, baths, porches,
two-car brick garage, and are
equipped with oil heat. You can
not realize the attractiveness and
value offered in these homes I'M
less you inspect them yourself.
I will be glad to give you the ad-
dresses of these homes if you will
call my office.

Spanish Automatic Is Clue That
Leads to Arrest and

ROBBERY NEGRo's MOTIVE

Weeks to Solve Mystery

Twenty-four days from the morn

Battery Park Hotel, Asheville,
Sheriff Laurence E. Brown had be-
hind the bars the confessed slayer,
Martin Moore, %, negro hall boy of
the fashionable hotel.
Martin, six-foot three, spare and
gangling, had been questioned three
times by the sheriff's officers, before
he was arrested at his home Satur-
day night at II o'clock.
During the 24-day interval which
has elapsed between the time he as
sertedly shot and dubbed the 49,
year-old girl, he had been at his
work daily, sweeping the carpets
outside the door of Room 224. Not
by word or sign had he given
himself away.
Now he is awaiting action by the
Buncombe county grand jury which
will be called together August II,
when the case will be tried before

in the room. My reason was that I
found the door unlocked, but when
I got in she was there and she
screamed. That's why I shot her.
"She screamed some more and
started to run out. It was then I
struck her with the gun. When she
fell on the floor I struck her several
times to stop her Screaming, as I was
scared and did not want to be
caught"
At this point he was questioned by
Sheriff Brown as follows:
"When did you unscrew the shade
and the bulb?"
The negro continued:
"When I shot her and knocked her
down once. then unscrewed the
light and took the whole thing off.

asked Moore.
What gun, Boss?" deputy said
the negro asked Brown in return.
"The gun that killed Miss Clev-

''It's in that drain to the toilet"

Tom Brown reached down and
pulled out the pistol.
