covered by the officers acting
under the direction of the then

Charles B. Lore. After the muir
der of the negro In Vests Of
flee his buildings we're set afire
by himself with the thought that
If the building burned down the
body of Turner would be con-
sumed and no one would be Wis
er as to how he met his death.
West laid over In a nearby
church yard watching the fire
at his office, but later made
his escape, going as far south
as Salisbury, Md, but returned
and gave himself up and con-
fessed to the murder of Turner
but claimed 1t was In self de-
tense the negro Turner making
an assault on him. The trial
of West was one of the most
exciting ever known In Kent
county and but for the elo-
quence of the late Chancellor
willard Salisbury who defen-
ded him, would likely have suf-
fered the death penalty. He was
acquitted of the murder charge
but convicted of the charge of
arson and served a term In the
Kent county jail. DR.. West was
a graduate of the Wilmington
Conference Academy and later
took a course at Dickinson Col
lege, Carlisle, Pa, after which
he settled In Dover.

over her hat.

particularly on account of his
connection with the murder of

Smyrna times., 1963-07-18

A movement of no mean pro-
portions has been started In
Smyrna for the widening of the
causeway at Lake Como and the
beaudfying of the approach to
Smyrna over said lake. A Pc
ution has been started and read
lily signed by citizens, business
men and members of the Board
OF Trade, praying Town Council
to give 1t consideration at this
time. Daniel Corbitt of Odessa,
owner of the mill property, is
about to put In a new concrete
and frame bridge to replace the
old one and the contractors are
already on the ground getting out
material. If the causway is
ever to be widened, it would be
expedient to do It at this time
and this is why efforts are be-
ing made to have Town Council
cooperate with MIR. Corbitt. The
plan is to widen the causeway
is or 20 feet to the width of
Main street, provide cement or
some suitable walks on both
sides, with shade trees. lust
what such project will cost
is left with Council to look In
to and consider. The feeling is,
1t would be one of the incest
improvements that has ever
been made to that part of the
town. Along with this project,
a considerable number would
like to see a "Lake Drive"
and Park from Main Street a.
long the north edge of the lake
to the road around the head of
the pond. This would add much
to the aesthetic beauty of Lake
Como and would make ideal out
ings for carriages and auto
mobiles In showing one of the
beauty places of Smyrna. When
this was agitated some time ago,
some property owners holding
lots adjacent to the lake were
willing to donate as much as it
would be necessary for the width
of a boulevard, for the sake of
seeing such an Improvement.
Whether they would be willing
to, donate the land now, is not
known, but 1t would be display
ing a splendid public spirited
ness, If all owning proper
ty along the lake would contri-
butte to the project. Besides
giving a ''Lake Drive", the
opening of a road along the wa
ter edge would, 1t is contended,
enhance the value of all lots
In giving an outlet on public
road and available for build
ing and other purposes. A Wild
er causeway and a 'Lake
Drive" would be a progressive
