Wilkes Man Gets 20 Years
For Death OF His Mother

she died. Later he said that he
was so drunk he could not recall
what happened and what he did,
officers testified.
A physician who examined the
body found her nose broken and
a bruise on her forehead. Blood
was found on Gregory's clothing
and on his arms. A large splotch
of blood was on his back. Inves-
tigators from the state bureau of
investigation said it was human
blood.
Neighbors said Gregory had
been abusing his mother when he
was drunk and that when he was
sober he treated her well. She
was deaf and dumb but was an
industrious and active woman
despite her advanced age. She
and her son operated a small
farm and he worked on WPA
during winter months.
