Ashe County People Deeply
Shocked By Sudden Death
Of Pres. Roosevelt, Thurs.
Memorial Services Are Held,
Confidence Expressed In
Truman

Ashe county people, along with
the rest of the world, were shock
ed and grieved over the sudden
death of President Franklin D.
Roosevelt last Thursday after
noon at Warm Springs, Georgia.
When the news first came over
the air, people here remarked,
1T couldn't be true" but then as
the broadcasts continued, deep re-
gret and grief replaced the first
ssxoci7 from the news.s
Both men and women shed
tears. "He was the first public
official whose death moved me
to tears" one man said. One
woman remarked, cts just ex-
.actly like someone in my own
family, only more so, because he
was really member of everyone's
family" Many recalled how
weary-worn he had appeared in
the news reels of the Yalta con-
ference, yet in spite of that, they
were profoundly shocked.

Adjournment Is
Expected Today;
Divorces Given
Judge Felix Alley Presidings
Much Interest I'm Major
Case

The spotlight of the Ashe coun-
ty superior court for the trial Of
criminal cases, which opened ON
Monday morning with Judge Fee
lix Alley presiding, was conferred
around the case of Dewitt Fran
els and his son, Ira, being tried in
connection with the death of Dent
Baldwin.
The case went to the jury
shortly after 400 o'clock yester-
day afternoon and a verdict is exc
pected to be brought in this MORN
ing.
Baldwin met his death in De-
cember, 1913, as result of blow
on the head following an alter
cation with Mr.. Francis and his
son over tobacco, which they
were getting ready to market.
The case was previously tried
before Judge Hoyle Sink, when a
mistrial was declared.
Appearing for the defense this
week were attorneys Ira T. John
ston and r. Floyd Grouse. The
State was represented by Solicit
tor Erie McMichael and Attorney
T. c. Bowie.
Both sides introduced a number
of character witnesses, as well as
others. Perhaps the most unusual
fact about the witnesses was that
Bynum Faw, a brother of Mrs.
Dent Baldwin, was brought all
the way from Italy, where he was
member of the armed forces, by
the State in an attempt to prove
that Francis had made threats
against Baldwin, sometime pre-
vious when some trouble arose
over planting cabbage. w. c..
Thomas, former state highway
patrolman, was also brought here
from Sanford as a States witness.
