Policemen said that the rumor
that there was no fire in the Jail

Fipps was carried home and
on Sunday became seriously ill.
He was carried to the Columbus
County hospital twice Sunday
but allegedly was told that moth
ing consequentially was wrong
with him. However, he became
irrational after the second visit
and could not talk. He spoke no
more from the time he left the
hospital in Whiteville Sunday un-
til Tuesday afternoon. During
this time he was partially para
lyzed.
Meantime he had been rushed
to Columbia where an emergency
brain operation was performed
TO remove a blood clot. Doctors
told persons there that his condl-
tion was almost hopeless, how
ever he was showing some slight
inoprovement Tuesday night.
