C., March 16.?A coroner's Jury attempted Unlay to untangle the confused details of a njad early morning pistol battle in which a mail truck driver and a county officer were slain as five deputy rfheviiffs sought a rum rurm^-r. The victims of the ghastly affray wore Leopold Roberts, 29, of Dudley, N. G., a driver under government contract, and, W. P. Starling, 35-yearold New Hanover county deputy sher-1 Iff. The scene was a creek bridge in the outskirts of Wilmington where the deputies went at midnight Saturday on a police tip that a load of liquor was on its way to the city. Beginning its investigation yesterday, the jury was told by the officers that the mail .truck stopped on the bridge quid Roberts opened fire on them " as they a p p r o a c h e 1 after halting another machin e, there was no whiskey in the truck, nor was Roberts suspected as being a rum runner, they said. ',Pwo bullets struck Starling, who did not wear a uniform, and he fired twiee as he fell. The other officers, one in a uniform, then opened fire, and Roberts toppled over with four bullet wounds. (Both men died before they could be taken to a hospital. The other deputies?Porter Davis, E. J. Hall, L. M. Massey, and A. P. Crew??were not hit by any of the bullets. From three young Wilmington women, who rode with Roberts on the truck firom Goldsboro to Wilmington as passengers, the jury heard a slightly different version of the tragedy. No One Responsible Wilmington, March 17.?Although all survivors have (been cleared of blame by a coroner's jury, a bit/ter legal battle tonight appeared dsatinr^to become a sequel to the gun buttle here early .Sunday which cost the lives of two men. The coroner's jury' announced its findings this afternoon, laying the deaths to "a tragedy of errors" for which it found no one responsible.
