Mrs Verne Venman. who accom

Lean.
Although his major is grand and
light opera, Mr. McLean brought
I something new ar.. unique to Be
j rea. His program was full of sincere
and pure art. and hs pronunciation
| was done with astounding skill
! that it was possible for the smallest
| child to follow’ the theme of every
song. Although not as large as was
| hoped, the audience was an appreci
ative one.
j The program consisted of the fol
! lowing numbers: "Lift Every Voice"
j —J. W. Johnson and “Hark, My
Soul"—Shelly, sung by the choir;
j "By the Bond of the River’’ by Ed

Police Doubt
Holdup Story
Os Draymen
There i, lome doubt in the minds
lof police concerning the holdup'
[story of Ch.rles McWhorter, 35.
of 560 Owenj avenue, and that of j
John White, 27, of the same ad- ‘
dress
McWhorter wu treated at the f
hospital tor a gunshot wound to,
the left thigh. He stated he and.
White were in a Ford pickup truck |
when they were hailed by a man at;
Delmar and Owen atreeL Upon;
stopping the mar. asked for a cig- '
arette and said. "What else have
you got?"
McWhorter claims he thought the
man was armed with a knife instead
of a gun and he was shot by the as
yet unidentified holdup man. Two
shots were fired. McWhorter stat
ed. one bullet striking him in the;
thigh. He was seated in the truck :
when shot, he further stated.
I However, on examination of Me- ■
Whorter’s clothes the car seat
revealed the bullet had entered
the thigh from the back, coming I
front part of his leg. The _
car failed to show that either of,
the bullets had struck the car seat, j
Due to the conflicting stories told;
by the two men both were held byj
police on a charge of investigation;
of making a false holdup report. I
Neither of the men could give •
police a clear description of the
alleged holdup man. The case has
been assigned to The Seventh Pre-
Mrs. Benson, Mr. and Mrs. James
Bellmay.
