S. McCoin, Henderson attorney and business man missing from his home here since last December 22. Al. B. Wester, business associate of Mc- Coin’s for more than 20 years, went to the Tennessee town yesterday to inspect the body, and telephoned back last night that he had made a thro ugh inspection of the body and it was certainly not that of the missing Hen derson man- The body was discovered there ear ly in the year, shortly after the search for McCoin was at height. It was held for three weeks, and advices were sent here that it had been found. But written descriptions were not suf ficiently convincing to warrant a trip there to see it. Within the past few weeks pictures of McCoin in Pythian 1 alid Masonic journals of nationwide circulation were seen at Rogersvilie, and then photographs of the body found there were forwarded here. Wester’s trip was the result of these photographs being received in this city. The body was exhumed yester day and was held for Wester’s in spection on his arrival at the 'Ten nessee town late yesterday. He was cn route back to his home here today, Whil emany people at the time the local business man disappeared thought he had been killed, the popu lar notion here now is that he is alive somewhere, and that business dif ficulties drove him away. His com pany, the Henderson Loan and Real Estate Company, which he founded £5 years ago, has been ordered into receivership since he disappeared- He was a member of the Niorth Carolina State Advisory Budget Commission at the time he left here. He went away ostensibly for a trip to his farm at DeWitt, Va., and to Richmond, and dropped out of sight in Richmond. Ht§ automobile was later found parked in a Columbus, Ohio, garage, as was stated in an anonymous letter mailed from Chicago to Chief Justice Walter P. Stacy of the State Supreme Court. The automobile was later brought back heiJe. ; • : ; CHI FESTIVAL AT RALEIGIJWCTipDAY First Baptist Church Choir Invited To Sitvg With !> 37 Others 5 ■!
