Mystery Man Bigges'
Figure in Amerasia
Case, BieIaski Says
By the Associated Press

2N2" 4AsAAs x0dS SAs& 0&kA
Bielaski. former OSS agent, said
last night there Is a person tn
veiyed In the Amerasia case "of
greater fame" that any one previ-
ously mentioned.
But 50 far. he said. the man
hasn't even been investigated.
Mr.. Bielaski. VINO testified Sc
cretly early this month before the
Senate subcommittee investigat-
ing alleged Communist influence
In the State Department. was
questioned on the Meet the
Press" radio program.
The former director Of investi-
cation for the Once Of Strategic
Services made the original raid
on the ofnces of the magazine,
AmeraSia.
Saw Many U. S. Documents.
Later FBI raids led to arrest OF
six persons. indictment Of three,
and conviction of two on charges
of conspiracy to Illegally remove
Government documents.
Mr.. Bielaski said on the broad
cast that documents he saw dur
ing the first Amerasia raid were
from many Government depart
ments, but most of them showed
they had come through the State
Department.
He was asked if all the persons
involved had been mentioned.
"Oh. no." said Mr.. Bielaski. "Of
my own knowledge there Is one
individual involved In this case
right up to his ears, and his name
has never been mentioned.
Refuses to Identify Man.
HE is a person, think, OF
greater fame, shall I say. national
ly and internationally than any
one who has been mentioned in
this case"
HAS he been called by any of
the committees?" Mr.. Bielaski
was asked.
"He has never been called by
anybody" he replied, nor do
think his connection with the case
has even been investigated"
The former OSS man said he
could not identify the man because
it might interfere with an in
vestigation which the Senate COM
mittee may make"
"Is he in the Government" he
was asked.
NO." was his reply, "he is not
in the Government"
Mr.. Bielaski first turned aside
that question. but later commented
that "he is not known as a Gov
ernment man particularly"
Mr.. Bielaski said latent finger
prints found on the Amerasia
documents were extremely In
teresting," but were never used
as evidence before the grand jury.
He didn't connect the finger
prints with the mystery person,
Some Of the fingerprints
furnished evidence of a prima
facie case Of perjury which has
never been prosecuted by the De-
partment Of Justice" he added.
He said he believed Amerasia
could have had "every document
from the State Department that
concerned the Near East going
through their organization"

LARGE CROWD HERE
FOR DOG SHOW

A most colorful event was stag

annual foxhound show and judg-

ground in west CIintwood Satur-
day night.

agree that the affair was great
success, with a crowd estimated
at 700, with some hounds and
their owners from North Carolina.
Tennessee, Kentucky, West Vir-
ginia, and even one from Ala
bana. Hounds of all colors and
types were ON hand and had evil

this occasion The crowd was
good natured and the whole con-
test was a friendly, sportsman
like affair. The crowd and h e
number of dogs shown and the

GAME CLUB CONTEST
DRAWS BIG CROWD

According to Elmer R. Lambert,
genial clerk in the Home Hard
ware here, the ''coon-on-a-log"
show in Mcclure River, at the
mouth of Buffalo Creek, Sunday
was a huge success, particularly
in point of attendance. Various
estimates placed the crowd at
around 1900, which indicates that
the Nora game club is going
places.
One coon, bought by the club
from a Florida dealer, was reserv
ed for this purpose for the day.
The coon was chained on top of
a six-foot log and anchored out
midstream, and the point of the
contest was to see how many, if
any, coon dogs would go out from
the river bank to attack the coon
Two men stayed in the stream
near the log, one to protect the
coon in case it was attacked by
dog, and the other to help dog
in case it needed help. But, says
Elmer, "that coon needed no help
from anybody" Only few of the
dogs were hardy enough to go
out to the coon. There were sew
eral dogs entered in the trial,
and T C. Mullins of Caney Ridge
won first prize with his dog, and
w Smith of ST. Paul won second
prize.
Many came from ST. Paul,
Kingsport, and Gate City. The
crowd was jolly and everybody
sober. The object of the affair
was not to make money, but to
stimulate interest in the cause of
conservation.

Another Attempt Made
To Rob Pound Bank

Would-be bank robbers, for the
second time in two years, made
an attempt to rob the Pound
bank Saturday night. The attempt
netted the robbers $40, taken
from the person of the cashier.
The following account of the at
tempt appeared in Tuesdays pa.
per:
E. L Barr, cashier of the Bank
of Pound, did some fast talking
Saturday night when two men
called at his home and demanded
at gun point that he go with them
to the bank and open the vault.
He didn't, however, talk them
out of taking $40 which he had
on his person
This was the second time that
Barr has been similarly threaten
ed in the past two years. On April
Is, 1913, two armed bandits lock
ed him in a cage at the bank and
escaped with several hundred dol
lars, all of which was later recov
cred.
According to Barr, the two men
came to his home about II o'clock
and demanded that he go with
them and open the banks vault.
II told them it wouldn't do any
good as the vault has a time lock
and wouldn't open until morn
ing" Barr said he told them.

said, and I told him that toner

DRILLING FOR GAS
CONTINUES IN COUNTY

Up to this time, drilling opera
tons of the Clinchfield Coal Cor
poration have brought in six pro
ducing gas wells in this county.
One is near Clinchco, and five are
in the vicinity of Nora.
The last one to be brought in"
was on Little Spraddle and has a
tested capacity of 100000 cubic
feet day.
According to local representa-
tives of the coal corporation, the
wells are about 1000 feet in depth.
Drilling on Lick creek has not
thus far resulted in any but "dry
wells" The six producing wells
have enough natural gas to make
them commercially valuable,

LOCAL PEOPLE SEE RACES
AT INDIANAPOLIS
SPEEDWAY

GEORGES FORK, June 12-
Mr.. and Mrs. Virgil Davis and
Mr.. and Mrs L. E. Davis of Clint
wood were among the 10000 fans
to see the 1850 Memorial Day,
500-mile race. They report a nice
trip and a great thrill despite the
rain.
When the gates opened at 5
o'clock, a great line of cars be-
gan to move inside to find a place
from which they could see the
race, which began at 10 o'clock
Most of the vehicles were filled
to capacity with people, clothing,
bedding, food and drink. Plat.
forms were built on trucks and
over car tops, trying to get good
view of the track.
After the race, everyone makes
a run for the gates, and what a
jam! 1t took about three hours to
get out of the tangle, and caused
the police patrol to sprout gray
hairs, they say.

ONE KILLED IN
SHOOTING HERE
SATURDAY NIGHT

For the first time within five
years "a homicide occurred in
Clintwood Saturday night when
Ayers Mullins, 81, of the Big
Ridge, was shot and killed by
Junior Justice, SO, taxicab driv
err here for several years.
In 1915 Ayers Fleming was kill
ed when the jugular vein in his
neck was cut with a small knife
welded by Kemper Mullins while
the two were engaged in a fight
on the ground here on Main
Street. Then, as now, the last
name of one of the principals was
Mullins and the first name of one
of the participants was Ayers,
Accounts of the affair are
jumbled, with weller of conflict
ing claims that only time can I'm
ravel. 4
But it appears that Ayers Null
Inns, his father, Fayette Mullins,
and two of his brothers had spent
some time at a roadhouse a few
miles out from Clintwood that
night and that they engaged JUS
tice to bring them to town.
On the way to town, the young
er members of the Mullins party
urged that they all go to another
roadhouse and "make a night Of
it," while their father argued that
they had all better go home. JUS
tice stopped his cab on the street
in front of the Chevrolet garage
dtIu tOlu lis ldICS tlIdL OH duO1-
tional trip would cost them So.
Also, some reports say, the cab
driver told them to not talk loud
enough to disturb the neighbor-
hood. Justices sister, Mrs. Joe
Thacker, who lives in an apart
ment near where the cab had
stopped, hearing the loud discus
sion and surmising that her broth
er might need help to eject the
men from the cab, came and for
chilly dragged Ayers Mullins from
the car. Then, it is reported, JUS
tice came out of his car to where
Mullins and his sister were in dis
pute and fired at Mullins, killing
him instantly. Three bullets lodg
ed in the victims's head and body.
Another report claims that a
fight started inside the car and
continued after all parties had
unloaded and that the shooting
then took place.
Justice was forthwith lodged in
jail by the sheriff and on Mon
day the grand jury returned an
indictment charging him with
murder.
Boyd Mullins, brother of the
slain man, was lodged in Jail at
the same time on a charge of
drunkenness and was released on
Sunday.
According to reports, the man
killed had no weapon of any
kind.
Mullins was buried in the Rose
Hill cemetery Tuesday.
He is survived by the widow,
Mrs. Esta Rose Mullins, and a
small SON, and by his parents and
a number of brothers and sis
tiers.
Mary Mullins, mother of Fay
cite Mullins and grandmother OF
Ayers, was buried Saturday only
a few hours before the killing.
