Tragedy of Errors
Cause of Shooting
Wilmington, N. 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.
