Tennessee Bandit
Slain by FBI Agents
By the Associoied Press

IDER, Ala. Aug. Billy Davis,
a 23-year-old desperate, who
vowed he'd never be taken alive,
was blasted to death last night
with a flaming pistol in his hand.
FBI agents who had tracked
the Tennessee prison parolee for
nearly month surprised him at
a farm home and shot him to
death as he grappled with a sher-
ifs deputy.
Davis fired once from a %
caliber target pistol before falling
with two bullets in his chest and
one in his left arm, the FBI said.
Sheriff G. H. Noles of De Kafb
County and FBI Agent George D.
King reported the death of the
Columbia (Tenn.) gunman.
Behind him lay four last vio-
lent days of reckless flight.
Davis had lodged and fought
his way through Alabama, Georgia
and Tennessee to a farm near this
remote Northeast Alabama COM
munity.
FBI agents, accompanied by De
Kalb Deputy Sheriff Gene Young,
came to the house about 10 o'clock
last night. They found Davis
asleep in a small room.
He reused himself as the agents
entered the room, Mr.. King said.
When the FBI men told him to
put up his hands, he snatched a
pistol from beneath his pillow and
.grappled with Mr.. Young.
Davis had been hunted since
July II, when he shot his way
past a police roadblock near Bir-
mingham, Ala, after being al
legedly involved in a jewelry store
robbery.

Nelson's accounts. Mr.. Walls said
he sold some flowers to Nelson
before the war but not since 1945.
Mr.. Shaffer said Nelson had spent
about $3.50 on flowers from his
shop In the past two years. He
recalled they were mainly sprays
and wreathS for the sick or de-
ceased.
Nelson Attitude in Doubt.
Mr.. Fihelly said 10 witnesses
were summoned to appear be-
fore the grand jury today but
he wasn't sure he could get to
them all. He indicated a lot de-
pended on whether Nelson would
talk.
In addition to the Crime Com
mittee and District grand jury
investigations, Prince Georges
County officials also are preparing
evidence in the Nelson case to
present to a grand jury in Oc-
tober.
Nelson was in this spot as he
faced the grand jury:
He has already been threatened
with perjury action because of
the testimony given by other wit
nesses before the crime committee
in contrast with his own.
His tax returns are being
scrutinized by the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue.
The grand jury has his books
and ledgers which have been
translated by the crime commit
tee in terms of gambling profits
and losses.
Court Can Rule on Testimony.

tional rights and refuses to answer
on grounds of self-incrimination.

trict Court judge at once for a

ruling on whether or not the
answers would incriminate him.
And if he then refuses to an
swer. the court can hold him in
contempt
Nelson, it was learned, has been
advised not to- answer questions
Iabout such legitimate businesses
as his horse-breeding and the
North Beach Amusement Co. on
the theory that one question could
lead to another and put him in
the same position as he was be-
fore with the crime committee.
At that time, Nelson testified
that he thought" the business
into which he put $4,000 and
drew $255. 900 over a period of a
few years was gambling"
Caution Advised on Finances.
Before the crime committee,
Nelson insisted that his only con-
Inection with Robert Nowland
Associates - the business he
thought was gambling-was an
investor. The crime committee,
after studying Nelson's books and
listening TO other witnesses, said
lit appeared Nelson was the boss
Of the business.
Nelson, it was learned. also has
been cautioned about discussing
his net worth because of the In
terest Of the tax people, Nelson
guessed his net worth at "a couple
hundred thousand" when he
testified before the crime com
mittee. Later. he provided q
statement putting his net worth
at nearly half a million dollars
and, after hearing his accountant
Acting Chairman Kefauver said
Nelson was obviously worth a lot
more than that.
Meanwhile, there were these de-
velopments in the Prince Georges
County angles of the case:
Republican Delegate William r
Hughes formally requested Circuit
Judge Charles c. Marbury to cal
up a "hard-hitting special grand
jury" to check into "the newest
revelations of wide-open racket
eering in this area"
Tip-Off Explored Again.
At Upper Marlboro, the county
commissioners held a two-houl
closed session to discuss police af.
fairs with States Attorney Car

an alleged tip-of of a raid on one

ed, "the decent people of Prince

allowed to operate so openly ir

Hughes Outlines Position.
Mr.. Hughes, who led his party's
legislative ticket in sweepinp
county G. o. P. victories last fal
after campaigning on an anti
gambling platform, urged an i'm
mediate and continuing grand
jury investigation soon after the
Nelson case broke.
Judge Marbury at that time re-
fused to bring the grand Jurors
back into session at once. He ex-
planned that it probably would be
several weeks before evidence was
available and that by the time il
could be prepared for presenta-
tion a new grand jury would be
named at the regular October
court term.
"I was amazed" Mr.. Hughes
told Judge Marbury. ito hear that
