Tobacco sales on the Henderson

.EXONERATE POLICE
IN GUPTON'SD DEATH
Officers Slew Fleeing Felon
In Performance of Duty,
Jury Holds

A coroner's jury yesterday exone-
rated city and state officers of any
responsibility for the death of Vester
w. Gupton, who was shot down Tues
ker in the Flint Hill section, and died
yesterday morning of the wounds su-
stained by a pistol shot through the
abdomen in Maria Parham hospital.
Gupton, together with Howard
House and Robert Knight, the latter
of Greensboro, had escaped from a
Warren county prison camp Monday
night.
The question for the jury to decide
was whether Gupton was attempting
to escape the officers. The jury held
that he was attempting to flee, and it
is legal for an officer of the law to
shoot a felon attempting to flee.
City policemen j. f. Parks, J. c..
Hudglns and C. S. Eastwood, togeth-
er with Billy Lands, state officer,
and Highway Patrolman T. E. Cooke,
Jr., went to the Varker home, and as
they drove up, Gupton and House
were seen fleeing from the rear. Of
ficer Parks entered the house, and
found knight partly clothed. The
other officers ran to the back, called
on the fleeing convicts to halt, and
then Cooke and Hudgins opened fire.
Witnesses said that three shots were
fired. One bullet went through Cup
tons abdomen. and he fell, House i'm
mediately halted. Hudgins and Cup
tons father carried the injured man
to the hospital.
The verdict of the jury was that
Gupton "came Go mis- death by gun
shot wounds suffered at the hands of
an officer in performance of his duty,
to prevent an escape.
Funeral was conducted this after
noon from the home in South Hen
derson at o'clock, and interment was
in Rock Bridge cemetery.
Pallbearers were Lacy Parrish, Rob-
ert Mitchell, Dock Montgomery, Rob
ert Catlett, Clarence House, Emmett
Robertson.

in hand but the word "go" has not
been given. Efforts are being made, it
is understood, to obtain a WPA grant
toward the cost of the project.
A modern jail is estimated to cost
around $4,000, and at least some
thought is that that is too much
money to be putting in Jail alone
unless applied on the erection of a
new court house.
Chairman Samuel M. Watkins, of
the county commissioners, said today
he had read the report of the grand
Jury but had not had time to give it
due consideration, and he had not had
time to consult with other members
of the board. He said, however, that
if a new court house were deemed best
and advisable, the money would have
to be obtained through a bond issue,
and that the people would have to
decide on that. An election would have
to re ordered by the commissioners.
Should general building program
be launched, it would presumably in
clude court house quarters and a Jail
on the top story.
On the heels of the grand jury's re-
port and the remarks of Judge Fritz
zelle following that report, it appeared
today more serious consideration was
being given to the matter of court
house and Jail.
The present court house was erected
soon after Vance became a county in
1881 It was added to shortly after
the turn of the century, however, and
repairs have been made at various
times since then. Some years ago the
court house was condemned by
grand jury, which recommended a
new structure be undertaken at once.
Judge N. A. Sinclair, presiding at the
term of court at which that grand
Jury report was made, ordered, in so
far as it lay within his power to do
so, that such an undertaking be be-
gun.
But Vance still has an obsolete court
house and an obsolete Jail, both con-
sidered by many, if not most, people
wholly inadequate for the needs of
the county.

JUDGE FR|zzE[LE
THINKS It NEEDED
Says City and County Like
Henderson and Vance
Deserve Better
GRAND JURY CRITICAL
Speaks Very Plainly About Jail Situa-
ton; Cost of Adequate Jail
Too Much for Separate
Building

Talk of a new court house for Vance
county was revived today following
the sharp words contained in the Oc-
tober grand jury's report on the cOun-
ty iail situation, and remarks by Judge
]. Paul Frizzelle, presiding, as to the
need of a new court house and Jail by
a city and county as prominent and
as progressive as Henderson and
Vance county are.
The Judge disliked to utter criti-
cism, even mild, on his first round
in the district and his first court in
Vance county, he said, ut he did feel
that the county deserved and was en-
titled to better facilities for carrying
on it's affairs than it has.
The grand jury, in its report, call
ed attention to previous recommen-
dations by other grand juries with
reference to the Jail, and recOmmen-
dations that a new one can be erected
It went further to state that if some
steps were not taken toward provid
ing better facilities by the time the
january term Of criminal court is
held, legal action ought to be taken
against those officials responsible for
the situation.
For some months the county COM
missioners have been considering Jail
plans. 1t developed that the present
Jail was so obsolete as to make it
virtually impossible to add to or even
to make satisfactory repairs to the
building. The board then looked a
round for other property, several sites
near the court house being included.
For one reason or another, these pro-
jects were abandoned and the latest
decision was for the erection of de-
tention house on the site of the pres
ent Jail property, but to he a build
ing separate and distinct from the Jail
itself. Some $4,000 to $4,000 was to be
spent on this. Plans for this work are

That Hang On

No matter how many medicines you
have tried for your cough, chest cold, or
bronchial irritation, you can get relief
now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble

to take a chance with any remedy less
potent than CreomulSion, which goes
right to the seat of the trouble and aids

Even if other remedies have failed,

you'll get the genuine product and the
relief you want. (Adv.)
