j On Tuesday of last week Sheriff
: Clease sent Deputy Sheriff Dorroh to
Uaybinton to arrest Andrew Gregory!
and George Eddison, charged with
the killing of Hayes Gladney. T.:e,
deputy sheriff arrested the bov.s and j
brought them to jail.
un Saturday ^acuson conressea 10
he killing and claimed t.-at it was ;
accidental. This was corroborated j
by the statement of Gregory. Roth |
of these boys testified at the inquest I
! and said that they knew nothing of
the killing.
I Tn hjs confession Eddison says he
; was shooting at something else and i
! hit Gladney by accident, but that he '
j kept silent about it and persuaded j
j Gregory to do so also, because they
were afraid. Eddison is 13 and Greg-.
ory 12 years old. !
It will be recalled that Hayes !
Gladney was found dead December 22
j in a field near Maybinton, having been i
! killed with a shot gun, and that at I
the inquest the verdice was that the ;
deceased came to his death at the;
hands of persons' unknown. Since i
| then, devlopments led Sheriff Blease !
i o believe that the two boys. George |
| Eddison and Andrew Gregory, knew |:
! omething about it, and so he had j
i them arrested as above stated. ; <

this section, the only problem being i:
the securing of sand. In many sec-, <*
