whether the defense should be per

The argument began when De

asked Basil M. Boyd, a witness, i
the jury speech of H. l.. Taylor,
prosecuting attorney at this hear
in, in a recent criminal cour,
case wasn't "a very bitter denun-
citation of Chief Littlejohn?"
Taylor objected, and Commits
sioner W. C. Davis, presiding
the only attorney on the body
sustained the objection.
Il don't think" said Davis, this
commission is interested in what
Mr.. Taylor thinks about Mr.. Little
John or what Mr.. Littlejohn thinks
about Mr.. Taylor"

ed if we are able to show tkat the
prosecution springs from these
very people who are prejudiced
against Littlejohn, that it comes
from that and nothing else?" Ken
needy asked.
Davis declined to change his ru-
ling, and the defense appealed to
the full commission. Davis said a
vote would be taken and the decls-
ion announced tomorrow when the
hearing is resumed.
Littlejohn, under suspension by
Nolan, was charged by him in affi-
davits with collision and extortion
and with thrc atening a fellow off

fire that started in the northeast
corner Of the Carolina pavilion.
About $500 gallons a minute poured
through the fire hose until the only
remaining source to stop the rapidly
spreading flames was a small ditch
behind the Greystone inn. The Caro-
lima Beach fire truck and another
fire truck sent from Wilmington
backed up to the ditch, and the two
streams of water resulting were all
the exhausted firemen had to fight
with.
Throngs of people crowded around
the devastated area yesterday. Out

continued were twisted
around the walls of the hotel. The
hotel was the last structure to
catch fire, and only the two streams
from the ditch were available for use.

Small groups of raiders circled
