WARREN GEE GETS
INTO TOLLS OF LAW
Funeral Services To Be Held
Saturday at 2 P. NJ; In
torment at EPSON

Warren Gee was determined to gel
into the hoOsegoW for Christmas
Judging from his action just lew
DAYS before Christmas.
Gee was convicted in city court to-
day before Mayor Henry t. Powell
on charges of stealing $2.25 worth OF
fireworks and whisky valued at 81 .05
from Monroe Patterson, and with
possessing the same knowing them
to be stolen.
For theft Of the fireworks and
whisky, Gee was given 60 days on
the roads and for possessing the
stolen goods, the Mayor gave him
an additional IL months, suspended
if he leaves the county for the next
five years. He must serve his 60 day
term before shaking the dust Of the
county from his heels.
If Gee had drunk the stolen whisky
he would have faced drunkenness
charge, and if he shot the fireworks,
in the city, that would have been
another violation.

Stacy, of the State Supreme Court
close friend Of McCOin's, that Nc
Coin had been waylaid and slain or
the misunderstanding turnpike
his car taken and the body buried in
a lonely rural spot near HagerstoWn
Md
The letter was mailed from Chi
cago, and said the McColn car haC
been left in a garage IN Columbus
Ohio. The car was recovered at that
place The letter was typed in rather
poor English and with many mis-
spelled words.
The Henderson Loan & Real Es-
tate Company, which McCoin head
ed. was thrown into receivership
shortly after his disappearance, and
has since Deen .lqulQat yea. ms farm
in Virginia was taken over by Hen
dersOn banks which were his credi-
tors, and is still held by them. The
NclOm rcs.-encc on South William
street was also acquired by the banks
after consideration was paid to his
wife.
The Henderson man had served
several terms in the State Senate and
the time he disappeared he was and
for some years prlOr tnereto hau u~~4l
member Of the State Budget Com
mission. He was past grand cham
cellOr of the Knights of Pythias in
North Carolina and for several years
representative from North Ca"N' Na
to the Supreme Council of the Pyth-
ians in the United States.
In the seven years thai have pass
ed since he disappeared, an intensive
search has been carried on by insur-
ance companies to establish some clue
as to his fate, but never once has the
slightest bit of information Of an au-
thentic character been unearthed
Whether he was killed or later died,
or whether he still lives, is as much
a mystery today as it was on the day
he left Henderson.
McCOinS strange disappearance
made front page headlines through
out the eastern part Of the country,
and held pl.olic interest for weeks.
Once or twice during the passing
years bodies have been located in
places that were suspected of being
his. but investigation proved other
wise.
The law recognizes a man as dead
after seven years have elapsed, but
a jury must decide when death oc-
CURED. 1t is for the purpose of doing
that that court action is now being
Talked with a view to realizing on
the insurance. Fine points Of law are
involved, and just what will be the
nature of the action, if any remains
to be seen as the seventh anniversary
passes and the mystery deepens.
Mrs. McCoin, now IN i'll health, has
been connected with the State school
for incorrigible boys at Rocky Mount
since shortly aiier .ler husband do
appeared. So far as has ever been
learned, she knows no more auUu.
the fate of her prominent husband
than any one else.
