Jury Finds Clayton Not
Guilty Burglary Count
Trial of W. a. Baxter, High way Patrolman, Charged
With Mansaughter, Beg Just Prior to Noon Re-
cess Clayton Jury 0 ut Hour and Half

A Vance County Superior Court Jury
early this Afternoon returned a verdict
of not guilty as to Kermit Clayton,
prominent North Henderson young
man, charged with burglary, the trial
having consumed a day and half Of
the June criminal term with Judge
Clawson l. Williams, of Sanford
presiding. Clayton was Immediately
discharged.
After the noon recess, the state be-
gan presenting its evidence in the
case of w. A. Baxter, of Warrenton
and Roxboro, state highway patrol
man, the charge growing out of the
death of ]. B. Richardson, 11-year-
old son of Mrs. o. o. Richardson. in
the North Henderson section Febr,l-
airy Fl, 1886. The child was struck
by Baxter's automobile and almost
instantly killed. The highway patrol
man was off duty at the time of the
accident, and was en- route to War
renton to visit his mother.
The charge against Clayton was
begun yesterday morning, and taking
OF evidence consumed most of the
day, with numerous witnesses being
offered by the state and the defense
In tn late afternoon, arguments were
begun to the jury, and were com
pleted with Solicitor E.. r, Tyler,
prosecutor of the docket, CONCLUDING
for the state shortly before noon.
Judge Williams charged the iurv

ing the group in the jury room to de-

dict of not guilty in about an hour
and a half.
Clayton was alleged to have gone
into the home of Thurston Williams.
In North Henderson, and took a cedar
chest together with $3.50 and other
valuables. He denied the charges, and
produced witnesses as to his where
aoouts on the night of the burglary
last November.

| returned true bill in the case when
charged were pressed by Mrs. Rich
ardson, and the officer has been at
liberty under bond since his indict
ment. The case has been continued
from term to term for various rea-
sons.
Baxter is said to have stated that as
his car progressed through North
Henderson, he saw several small bows
by the side of the highway, which af-
lords no sidewalk, and that he slowed
down. The Richardson child, he fur
ther stated, rushed out in front of
the car, and although Baxter swerved
to avoid the child, he was struck ia
fatally.
Mrs. Richardson, with two children,
had moved to Henderson from Dur
ham only a short time before the acct
dent, and after the death of her child,
returned to her former home in Dur
ham,
1t was at the June, 1896 term that
Mrs. Richardson returned to Hender-
son and requested former Solicitor w.
FL S. Burgwyn to have the case re-
considered before the grand Jury,
which eventually found a true bill.
The court is moving rapidly through
the calendar, and has removed quite
a bit of congestion from the Grimm al
docket. There are several other cases
to be heard during the session, none
of them of a sensational nature.
The case against Sam Wheeler, not
Graham Wheeler, charged with lar
ceny of an overcoat, was continued for
the term. The use of the name of
Graham Wheeler in connection with
the case was an error.

thinking constantly of Bill.
"Uncle Buckshot," she ap-
preached that individual on the
third day, do you think maybe

self? I mean-to see about it,
and al?"
"See about whut ?" the old man
jabbed.
we'll mean, to help Bill with
his inquiry. He will contact the
authorities, no doubt, and"
"You don't even know where
he's at. Nav, you don't go down
there. That young jasper'n take

need to worry none."
She did worry, though, and she
would have been sick with it if Bill
hadn't sent her a telegram. It
came from Hermosillo, telephoned
out to her ranch that third evening
after he left.
EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT"
it said. "MAY BE GONE TEN
DAYS"
1t didn't enlighten her, but it did
enable her to sleep. She tried to
help with directing the cowboys.
but Shorty Rogers and old Buck
shot had matters pretty well in
hand. They knew about how Bill
wanted things done.

Ellen was lonelier than at anv
time since she left Hollywood. She
made occasion to sit down and
write several long letters. She
had a good camera, and with
young Pablo Rivera's avid help she
TOOK many pictures Of her ranch,
her COWS, her home, her assistants
and friends there, and sent several
OF these to old acquaintance in
Hollywood.
She drove in to Nogales one
afternoon, surprised and delighted
the two or three housewives there
who had invited her to call on
them weeks ago after the chamber
OF commerce banquet in her honor.
She asked them to drive out to her
ranch any day for tea, ended up
by arranging for the next monthly
meeting Of the Womans club Of
Nogales to be held in her spacious
living room. One lady quickly
phoned the Herald, and the So
ciety editor rushed out to get all
the exciting news. They hadn't
known that Miss Dale was in
town. It was a big up for the
housewives on whom Ellen had
come to call.
She made q few purchases and
started on back home about five
O'Clock. The drive to her ranch
wasn't long, took less than an
hour. There were no towns or
villages en- route, in fact virtually
nothing but occasional ranchers'
dwellings appearing as dots on the
vast landscape. Ordinarily the
panoramas here exalted her but
she felt distinctly unhappy today.
Il don't know what's the matter
with me-" she told herself.
That wasn't true. She did
know; she knew she wanted Bill to
return, or to let her know again
that he was safe. He had been
gone for two weeks now, and she
had not heard from him but once.
She tried to tell herself that it
didn't matter. That she could hire
another foreman if this one didn't
return. Arizona had plenty of

more than a mile from the edge Of

a horse stopped in the middle of
the road and lifted his hand AZ IL

She stopped, and saw he was a
Mexican. In the twilight She
could not identify him as one She
knew. He wore a battered SOM

and dirty pantalones.

Ellen hadn't thought Of that.
Not Of Pamela, at any rate. They
talked for several minutes. Bill
had returned to the ranch in mid
afternoon, ridden out to meet her
and have some fun, he said. But
he wasn't quite prepared, yet, to
tell all he knew about the stolen
cows.
II will say this, though, Ellen.
Buckshot and the boys didn't tell
you, lest they cause you alarm,
but hundreds of other cattle have
been stolen from Arizona ranchers

CHAPTER SO

. THE TOWN Of Hermosillo,
Sonora, In Mexico, was peaceful
enough there In the twilight of
evening. Workmen had come to
their homes and were enjoying
supper. Photographs frightened
some of the homes along Cinco de
Mayo street, and the inevitable
dogs played or loafed on the dirt
sidewalks. A few children were in
sight. But the only adult visible
was a rather large man. walking
along.
The main wore a battered straw
SombrerO, very old and faded
cape-like serape-a woven thing
like a rug with a hole in the mid
die through which he had thrust
his head. His pantaloons were
dirty. He wore no shoes. He
walked slowly as if tired. I'm
kempt beard suggested further
that he was a 1aborer.
He went on down the street and
turned into saloon. He had a
glass of beer, and dozed for a
while back in corner chair. More
people came in later, and the man
did some talking then.
He explained often that he
wished he could get into America
to live. He had no family, he said,
but had friends in Arizona. All, if
he could just get over the line
safely! He had saved a little
money for the trip. Friends al
ready there had sent it to him. IF
he could but be smuggled in.
After a while he moved to
another saloon and repeated his
longings. to whatever chance
listeners he could find. He went
to a small hotel and talked the
same way. He struck up CONVEX
sations on the street and continued
his warnings for transportation
across the line into Arizona, where
his friends lived. He had a little
money. Nearly 800 pesos.
In front Of the police station.
officers were sitting on sidewalk
benches. The man told them his
story. They listened but made no
comment. Disgruntled Mexicans
always were wanting to go to the
United States, they knew.
He sat in little plaza parkway
and discussed his hopes with
chance loafers there. About mid
night he went on back down Cinco
de Mayo street, turned up an
alley and entered his shabby room.
Several people were on the street
at that hour. It developed that
one of the persons had been follow

OF little man came down the alley
and tapped on the big fellows
door. They talked a moment in
low tones. Then the big fellow
passed something through the door
to him, and presently followed the
little man back out Of the alley
and up Cinco de Mayo street.
Although it was quite dark and de-
serted at that hour of night. the
big man kept 100 yards behind the
smaller one.
Ellen Dale had been so dis
tracted for three days that she
could hardly sleep. Felix Montoya
had been a guest at one more
breakfast in her home, but had
made his farewell that morning
and gone away. She was glad.
She didn't want to discuss her and

Federal Control Of Radio

The history Of federal control Of

troubled days. The bulk Of the
trouble has been due to the type Of
personnel selected for administra-

politics is to blame as much as any
thing. Politicians will endorse any
screwy bird, long-haired theorist or

There has been measure of con-
troll over radio for years, and they
have been troublesome years, both
for the agency administering the
law and the industry forced to abide
by the law. Within the last few
years, however, there has come into
existence the FEC. which is con-
cerned not alone with radio, but
with telephones and telegraphs.
There latter industries, however,
are themselves settled down and out
OF their teens. They have got by
the growing pains, but as for radio.
the story Is quite different and de-
cidedly more important, because
there are fundamental dangers to
you and me In the situation.
