Confesses To Writing
Hugh Nichols Letter

A Lexington negro school
youth Saturday confessed to writ
ing an extortion letter to II. B.
Nichols, plantation owner of
Lexington, and demanding $4,000
in cash about two months back.
The confession was made before

ly after the letter was written.
According to Sheriff Wynn,
Marion Sanders, negro school boy
OF Lexington RID, Saturday con-
fessed to writing and mailing the
note and to appearing at the

known person had forced him to
carry out the plan with threat
to his own life if he refused.
The boy was released in the
custody of his parents, following
the confession.
The extortion letter, which
was addressed to Henry L.
Nichols. ST., with the correct ad-
dress of Hugh L. Nichols, on the
envelope, was taken from the
post office and opened by Louie
Beall Nichols. on August 9, in
the absence of his father, who
was on an out-of- state trip. The
note demanded $4,000 in 500
bills, which was to be given to q
delivery boy within a specified
few hours from receipt of the
note.a
The Sanders youth appeared at
the Nichols residence and asked
for the package" four days
later Only member of the fami-
ly at home, Louie Beall Nichols,
on pretense of getting the pack
age. telephoned the sheriff, who
with his deputies questioned the
boy, and subsequently called in
the FBI, who with county law
officers, have worked on the case
since, getting the confession last
week through having the youth
write the identical extortion note.

Themselves For Next
Onslaught With Sails

This Friday, on the Durant
High school football schedule, re-
mains an open date, according to
Coach Van Stewart, who said the
next game will be with Sails,
November 5, and will likely be a
tough fight. Sails has been
whipped only by Kosciusko, and
appears to be a powerful team, he
said.
However, Coach Stewart rang
an optimistic note in voicing an
expectation that all regular men,
bers of his eleven would be ply
sically able to enter the game on
the next playing date. Practice
has been going strong all this
week, in getting the team ready
for the skirmish, but will likely
ease up somewhat next week.
The past Friday nights game
was lost to Carrollton 7-6, despite
the fact that pretty good ball"
was played by the Durant eleven,
according to Coach Stewart, dur
ing the second half A large num-
Der of fumbles helped set the
team back. Cain, however, ran
about so yards to make the one
touchdown.
