'Hifch-Hike Murder
Inquest Held Today
In North Carolina
F. B. !. Is Cooperating
With Police Of 3 States
In Double Staying

With the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation working with police authori-
ties Of three States in an attempt
to solve the "hitch-hike murders" !"
Coroner Russell Green of Morgan
ton, N. c., where the second victim
was found late Monday, today began
an inquest out of which he predicted
only one verdict could come-that
of murder at the hands of a person
not yet identified.
While today's inquest concerned
only the death of Thaddeus Florkie-
wicz of Uniontown, Pa, whose bull
let-riddled body was found beside
a burning automobile on lonely
road near Morganton, Coroner Green
and police of Virginia and North
Carolina expressed the opinion that
Robert S. Divvins, until recently a
resident of Washington, met his
death at the hands of the same
unidentified man who killed Florkie-
UiCZ.
The body of Divvins, who moved
to UniontoWn, Pa, a month ago,
was found, also pierced by bullets,
Monday morning near Bowling
Green, Va.
The F. B. 7. entered the case on
the theory that stolen automobile
belonging to Divvins) had been
transported across a State line.
Just how Divvins and Florkiewicz
got together has not been solved by
police, but they have expressed the
belief that the two met in or near
UniontoWn last week end. Divvins
left Uniontown Sunday to drive to
Portsmouth, Va, where he was en-
ployed by loan company, while
FlorkieWicz supposedly left Union
town some time during the week
end supposedly for Paterson, N. j.,
to visit sister.
Coroner Green's theory is that
the two, somehow travelling to-
gether in Divvins' car, picked up
hitch-hiker who killed DivVinS in
Virginia and forced FlorkieWicz to
drive him to Morganton. The 49,
caliber pistol found near Florkiew-
icz's body is similar to if not the
weapon with which Divvins was
slain. The pistol, or one similar to
it, was bought last week in Union
town by Florkiewicz, according to
Pennsylvania police.
Supporting his theory, the coro-
ner said, was the statement of Po-
lice Chief J. P. Coffey of ValdeSe,
7 miles west of Morganton, that
he saw two men in coupe with
Pennsylvania plates about $3.50 pm.
Monday The car was parked on a
Valdese street, it was said, and the
man at the wheel apparently was
Florkiewicz.

these councils were and are now being apprized of every phase of civilian defense. They are clearing houses for all authentic informa- tion, thus keeping the field clear of all bogus fund collectors, un- founded rumors and national de- fense racketeers. They are quickly informed of every new law, regula- tion, restriction and priority that issues from here and maintain in- formation services to pass these along to the public.
 When the United Service Or ganizations drive started, they were weeks ahead of many con- munities. When the call went out for the collection of aluminium, the councils were ready and wait ing and putting it over caused no more organizational fuss than pass ing the plate in church on Sun day.
 The county councils also took over aid to the defense savings bond and stamp sales. I checked the Treasury on that and was told that East Texas is doing right well' which certainly is a Texas way of saying, "They ain't ailing, Brother"
