CRIME PICTURE FEATURED NOW
 AT LOCAL SHOW
Double Bill Attraction Will Open Tonight at
 Capitol

A gangster screen story written and produced as such stories should be-never glorifying the desperadoes who prey upon defenseless business men, never extolling law and order to the point of detracting from the swift, breath-taking action = Co., lumbia's Crime Takes a Holiday" :" which opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre. Jack Holt is starred in the film, as fighting district attorney forced to desperate measures in or der to rid his city of gangland terror.
 Unable to trace the racket crimes to the head man." the district at torney prosecutes an ex-convict of murders directly traceable to the gangsters he must capture. The for mer convict, conniving in the scheme, is sentenced to be hanged and the gunmen take a holiday" until after the execution.
 But the district attorney, unable to obtain a reprieve for his vic tim," forces their hands. Police pre- tend to be a rival gang, and take over" the territory. The gunmen swing into immediate action And the district attorney promptly cracks down.
 Holt is given a fine role. In re- turn, he offers an excellent per- formance. Douglas Dumbrille, cast as the racket czar, is seen to ad- vantage as the brains" behind the racket terror who poses as an hon. est, and indignant public-spirited citizen.
 Second attraction on the double bill is South of Arizona" starring Charles Starrett.

Church Charged With Killing
His Wife Last Sunday Night
Fatal Shooting Took Place Al
Home In WarrenSville.
Gun Found Monday.

Clifford Church, former Wilkes
county man who has been ope-
rating the Shell service station
at Warrensville for nearly year,
was lodged in the county Jail by
Sheriff w. E. Miller about one
o'clock Monday morning on a
first degree murder charge OF
shooting and killing his wife
Sunday night.
The shooting took place in. the
Church home, located near the
service station. about II o'clock,
according to statements made by
neighbors who heard the shot.
When Sheriff Miller and DR.. B.
E. Reeves, coroner, arrived at the
scene about midnight, they found
the woman lying on a bed with
a bullet hole through her right
eye.
DR.. Reeves said that death was
instantaneous as the bullet lodg-
ed in her brain.
Church, they said, was pacing
the floor when they reached the
home. He had been drinking and
was still right much intoxicat-
ed. He told the officers that his
wife had committed suicide.
There was no trace, however, of
a gun with which she might
have killed herself and DR..
Reeves declared that she could
not have moved after the bullet
entered her brain.
Upon further questioning
Church ran out of the house and
was caught on nearby bridge
by John Burkett, mayor of War
rensville, who had been disturb
ed by the shot and who sent for
the sheriff and DR.. Reeves.
Church, it was stated, tried to
break away from Mr.. Burkett,
but was unable to do so. He was
then brought to Jail and enroute
made several threats to DR..
Reeves and Sheriff Miller. He re-
fused to enter the Jail and the
officers had to resort to force in
getting him into a cell. He kick
ed Roy Ashley and Sheriff Mil
Ter struck him over the head
with a flashlight before they
could get him inside.

way, DR.. Reeves found 70 gallons

To Complete Construction OF REA Lines This Weekend
View From Crest
OF Famous Negro
Mountain Praised
Several ROtarianS Described it
AS Being the "MOst Beau
tiful In America.
SUGGESTION MADE

The view from the top of Ne
gro mountain, Ashe county'S
prize scenic attraction, was de-
scribed this week as being one
of the grandest and most beauti-
full views in the world.
Monday afternoon the visiting
Rotarians and Rotary AIMS were
driven to the Summit of this ma
jestic peak by members of the
local club, their wives and
friends and all of them were
amazed at the magnificent seem
cry one can view from the
crock.
Shep Bryan, of Dunn, N. c.,
and former district governor of
the 188th. Rotary district declar-
ed that it was more beautiful
than the scene from the top of
the famous Alps mountains in
Switzerland and that lit is gran
der than anything I have ever
seen in America.
Judge W. B. Council and his
daughter, Miss Elizabeth Coun-
Gil, of Hickory, who are vaca-
tioning at Shatley Springs, were
accompanied by DR.. B. E. Reeves
to the top of the mountain Tues
day. Judge Council said he had
never seen a more beautiful
view and commended the state
highway force for improving the
road.
DIR. Reeves and the Judge
were in the state legislature at
the same time in 1899. II was
representing Ashe and Mr.. Coun-
Gil was Watauga's representa-
tive. We drew seats and rooms
together" DR.. Reeves said.
Several of the visiting Rotar-
ians suggested that it would be
a fine thing for the state De-
partment of Conservation and
Development to take over the
entire mountain and develop it
into more or less a state park.
'This road should be surfaced,
too" one of them commented.
