TERRELL FACES
 MURDER CHARGE
Local CCC Youth to Re- turn to North Carolina
 for Trial

Assured that he will get fail trial in Raleigh, North Carolina where he is wanted for murder Garland Terrell, 9, of 198 Bishop street, has been advised to submit to extradition and return to the South to face the charge.
 Rev. Charles x. Hutchinson, Jr. pastor of the Danielson Methodist church. said today he has been as- sured that Terrell will get fair trial. The minister had previously advised the colored youth to refuse to waive extradition.
 Meanwhile, Terrell is being held at Danielson state police headquar- ters without bail, following his cap- ture week ago at a eco camp where he was employed. The youth is wanted for the staying of William Henry Monk, last October.
 Rev. MT. Hutchinson took a great interest in the case and wrote to the American Civil Liberties Union and other associations on Ferrell's behalf.
 Counsel of the National Associa-
  ton for the Advancement of the Colored People, after the case had been presented by Rev. MT. Hutch inson, wrote the minister:
 "The State of North Carolina is not as uncivilized as several of the other southern states. There have been no lynchings in North Caro- lima for some time, and I believe that Terrell will get fair trial in Raleigh if he is properly represented by competent counsel" The associa- tion promised to furnish counsel if Terrell so desires, and named one of the best lawyers in the South, nationally known for his compe- tence and courage. He is holding himself in readiness to go to work as soon as Terrell reaches Raleigh.

Rumors Of Youths
 Death Exaggerated
7=Year-OId Lad Celebrates Escape From Drowning By
 Eating Hearty Meal-Saved By Waterbury Man

Naugatuck, July 27.-Edward Fur. tado, son of MT. and Mrs. Marcelino Furtado of 235 South Main street, is only seven years old but is al- ready something of a philosopher. He believes in taking things as they come and in not worrying over what has already past.
 Edward is the lad who was sink ing for the third time at the New Dam Wednesday afternoon when Leo Michaud of Waterbury saved and resuscitated him.
 There was a rumor around town yesterday that Edward had died of a heart attack but when sent to investigate the Democrat reporter found Edward very much alive and just about vaguely remembering that he had a close call few days ago.
 Most of us after a near-drown- ing would be convalescent for at least A hours.
 Didn't Mention Mishap.
 But not Edward, in fact he con- sumed a heavy meal within three hours after the near tragedy and went out to watch ball game at Recreation field, incidentally neg lecting to mention to either of his parents that he had had a narrow escape from drowning that after noon.
 Edward cannot really swim but has ambitions to become swimmer, SO much so that his parents had warned him not to go to the New Dam, as they realized 1t is quite deep there.
 Boys will be boys, however-and it was mighty hot Wednesday-and the rest of the gang were going swimming, so Edward taking a tire tube forgot" his orders and went to the dam, his parents being un- aware of this, of course.
 After his close call and resusci- tation, he was taken home in the police ambulance, or at least the police thought they were taking him home. They let Edward get out at the place where he said he lived, but his mother told The Dem- ocrat that this was several houses beyond where he actually resided. On the trip, Edward remembered the orders about the New Dam, and feared the consequences when his parents learned, Mrs. Furtado said.
 Ate Heartily.
 So he rested in the vicinity of his home for a short time, then turned up and ate such a good meal that his parents remarked on the heartiness of his appetite.
 After supper he strolled out to see a softball game, and it was not un- til o'clock. or more than five hours after the drowning oc- cured, that his mother learned her son had almost lost his life. A neighbor inquired as to how Edward was, and the mother repied he was all right. then wondering about the query. questioned the neighbor who showed her a newspaper account of Edwards accident.
 Edward was then summoned and made clean breast Of 1t. with his parents being more worried about his condition than about any pun. ishment for the misdeed.
 Has Had Enough
 But Edward has no desire now to go swimming again ct the New Dam. and iGn't going swimming anywhere again until his father, who is an expert swimmer himself, accompanies him.
 Much fuss was made about Ed-
