"Seeret Society" Blamed In
Death OF West Jeff Man

1tion by authorities was said to
1"have proved conclusively" that
|the wound which killed Cross was
'self-inflicted. Cross died at 1915
pm. Wednesday in Mt. Carmel
Hospital after uttering the words
"I shot myself. I want to die.
DR.. w. T. Bacon, Madison coun-
ty coroner, said that he believed
that Cross was a suicide although
final ruling will be made by Frank
lin county authorities since Cross
actually died in that county.
West Jefferson police chief,
Nelson, stated that he believed
that Cross was member of a
gang which he has had under
surveillance for more than year.
Chief Nelson said that members of
the so-called gang all bear the
same burn and cut marks as found
on Cross. The gang was thought to
number about 20 the chief said.
1t was also brought out that
gang members were thought to be
required to inflict a gun wound
on themselves and it was in this
way that Cross killed himself It
was revealed that another West
jefferson man bearing the burn
and knife scars was treated for a
gunshot wound in the shoulder
only last week
Cross was a Korean War veter-
an, serving with the US. Army in
that theatre during the fighting
there.

be forgotten.
My older boy learned the
alphabet from blocks at the
age of two and a half and
can read quite a few words
now. He wants to read and
tries to sound out the words.
I'm not worrying ABOUT him
in school, except that there's
a possibility of his being bored
and getting into mischief. I
only hope he has good teach
ers who can spot and correct
boredom. He won't be the
only such child; a few of his
friends equal or surpass him
in knowledge.
Their mothers feel as l. do.
that it is silly to withhold
knowledge. When your boy
enters school then try, by all
means, to cooperate with his
teacher. but a head start won't
hurt him. 1t should help your
