Sheriff Who Jailed Seif
In Slaying Faces Hearing
By the Associated Press
PEMBROKE, Ga„ July 1.—The
case of the sheriff who arrested
and jailed himself for murder was
set for a hearing today.
In jail charged with the murder
of James K. Strickland, 43, was
Sheriff E. W. Miles of Bryan
County.
Miles arrested himself Wednes
day on a murder warrant sworn
to by Mr. Strickland's son, James
Lee.
Prior to arresting himself.
Sheriff Miles said he sought to jail
Strickland on a drunken driving
charge and became embroiled in
a fight.
During the fight, said the sheriff,
Strickland told him "One of us is
going to die now.” A few minutes
later, while Strickland had one of
jhis arms pinioned, Sheriff Miles
said, he managed to free his gun
and emptied it into his opponent.
The sheriff said Strickland had
I threatened his life repeatedly after
the law enforcement officer had
sought to arrest him on bootleg
ging charges.
Penny Fare Demanded
j Transportation costs elsewhere
may soar but they won’t go up in
Eire—not without a fight, any
way. The National Union of Vint
ners, Grocers and Allied Trades
Assistants, in Dublin, protests the
j “grave hardship imposed by abo
lition of the penny bus fare.”

Alabama Grand Jury
New Cases Reported
Probing Floggings;
By the Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 1.—
A Jefferson County grand jury
today convenes in special session
to investigate recent acts of terror
by white-sheeted hoodlums.
Solicitor Emmett Perry said the
jurors will study evidence uncov
ered by County and State officers
investigating floggins in the Bir
mingham area.
The latest report of night-rid
ing activity came yesterday from
two Methodist ministers in Rural
Clay County, about 85 miles south
east of here.
The two ministers, the Rev. H.
Frank Ledford of Ashland and the
Rev. Luther Brown of Millerville
said they verified these floggings:
1. A 60-year-old white herb
doctor was lured from his home
and blackjacked the night of May
30. The man, J. J. Gavens. later
sold his home and left the Millei -
ville community with his wife
,and small child.
| 2. Hooded and white-robed men
beat and whipped two Negro
brothers, cne an infantry veteran,
until they bled the night of June 1.
The two were Willie and Herschel
Horton. Willie was quoted by the
ministers as having been told ‘‘we
had been talking too much.”
The ministers said Willie Hor
ton showed them a scar on his
side which he said was from a
shrapnel wound suffered in com
bat in Italy. They added that he
had North Africa and Italy cam
paign ribbons with five battle
stars and a Purple Heart.
In a third case, the ministers
said they were informed three
masked men entered a Negro cafe
at Ashland, asked about a Negro,
and fired two shots into the ceil
ing. No one was harmed.
Other recent reports of mob vio
lence have mainly been centered
I in the mountainous rural areas of
Jefferson County.

Air Raid Warning Posts
By tb* Associated Pres*
INDIANTOWN GAP, Pa., July 1.
—Pennsylvania's wartime air
raid warning system is going back
into operation.
Maj. Gen. Frank A. Weber, State

move designed to supplement the
national radar screen recently au
thorized by Congress.
One hundred and forty observa-;
tion posts will be set up at the
start, Gen. Weber said, with addi
tional ones being placed in action

fense office is able to take over
the task of recruiting voluntary
personnel to man them.
Personnel for the initial 140
posts—many of them in the old
World War II locations—is being
selected on a volunteer basis by
the military affairs department
from among persons who served
in the wartime warning network.
