Mystery Man Hunted
For Asheville Murder
Asheville, July 17.?A "mystery
man" was hunted today by police Investigating
the brutal murder of
blonde Helen Clevenger, 19-year-old
New York University honor student.
The man, of whom officers had only
a scant description, was seen dashing
hatlesH from u fashionable hotel into
an after midnight thunderstorm?a
few minutes, supposedly, after Miss
Clevenger was slain in her room on
the third floor.
This incident, together with the lethal
bullet, which Governor George
F. Hater, Jr., said was fired from un
unusual type of gun, probably of a
foreign make, was admittedly all that
officers had to go on.
Tho police fixed the time of the
slaying at about 1 ?. m., yesterday,
but the body was not discovered until
8:30 a. m., when the girl's uncle,
Prof. W. L. Clevenger, of North Carolina
State college, went to her room
from his own, Just around the corridor.
In green pajamas, she was lying
on her back, her feet crumpled under
her?a position which officers said Indicated
she was shot while on her
knees, pleading for her life.
The bullet ranged downward,
through the left part of her chest,
and left powder burns. The girl's
face had been mutilated with a sharp
instrument. Coroner Ila'ler Bald an
attompt had been made to criminally
assault her.
Neither the gun, nor the mutilating
instrument, which Haier said could
have been a pair of scissors, was
found. The calibre of the bullet.
Baler said, was slightly less than that
of a .32.
Durham Jones, negro bellboy, said
he saw a man run from the mezzanine
floor about I a. m., while he was in
the darkened Horvice room in the lobby
drinking a lemonade: He said the
fleeing man "vaulted the porch banister
to the street and disappeared in
the storm.
The bellboy could give only a scant
description of the man. He said he
appeared to weigh about 160 pounds,
and was about f> feet. 8 inches. He
could not remember how the man was
dressed but was certain he wore no j
hat and thnt hiR hair was disheveled.
Robert Simpson, the elevator operator,'said
he took no one to the third I
floor near the time of the murder,
and did not bring anyone down.
Several guests told of hearing a
woman's Bcream at about one o'clock.
E. B. Pittman, an employe of tho
state banking department, had the
- room opposite Miss Clevenger and
told investigators he stepped into the
hall when he heard the shriek.
He said he saw a man standlug with
his back to the door of the girl's room,
which was partly open. Pittman said
he and the Btranger exchanged a few
remarks about the woman's scream
and that he then stepped back in his
room, attaching no particular significance
to the Incident.
Officers theorized the girl had left
her door open because of the unseasonably
hot weather.
Miss Clevenger came here a few
days ago with her uncle on a vacation '
trip.
In her room were found a freshly-J
written letter to her parents, Mr. and '
Mrs J. F. Clevenger, of Great Kills, j
Stat?-n Island, N. Y., and entries in'
her diary covering the preceding day's
activities," I

Mob Threatens
Charleston Jail
Charleston, July 21.?Two negro
prisoners accused of slaying a police
detective were whisked to safety out
of Charleston by Sheriff J. M. Poulnot
early today after a mob of 500
persons milled about the county Jail.
Sheriff Poulnot said the crowd
wjjich gathered at the Jail, shouting
for the negroes, numbered 500 at its
peak.
The crowd gathered shortly after
midnight, and had dwindled to a mere
handful by 2 a. m. A few minutes
afterward the sheriff and his deputies
started for the state penitentiary in
Columbia with the prisoner.
Policemen and deputies armed with
rifles, tear gas, clubs and riot guns
were stationed at the entrance of the
jail. Patrolmen were kept on their
heats overtime so fresh men could
reinforce the Jail guard.
Since Charleston National Guard
companies are In Florida at their
summer encampment, Sheriff Poulnot
asked for a detail of marines from
the Navy Yard to protect the prisoners.
He was told.. however, an order
from the governor would be necessary
for the Marines to be called out.
The sheriff did not telephone the governor,
as the crowd began to dwindle
a few minutes later. '
The negro prisoners dre Benjamin
J. Rivers and Isaac Brown, held In
connection with the slaying of Police
Detective Puree A. Wansley a few
weeks ago. Detective Chief John J.
Healey said Rivers confessed the killing
yesterday.

UDBERGHS GIVEN CORDIAL
WELCOME IN GERMANY
The Charles A. Lindberghs, in informal
mood, sped over Europe today
to a heel-clicking Nazi welcome at
Staaken airport and prospects of an
early meeting with Relchsfuerh.er
Adolf Hitler.
Neither Der Fuhrer nor his air minister,
General Hermann Wilhelm Goerlng,
was at the airport when the famous
flyer and his attractive wife
stepped from their grey-winged monoplane.
Both were otherwise occupied in
southern Germany, but it was learned
from authorltive sources they would
see Col. Lindbergh before he leaves
Germany.
In gay contrast to the precise Gerc
man officers who greeted them, the
American was hatless today, with a
rumpled suit and unruly tie. His wife
wore a smart suit.
Fifteen great bombing planes,
drawn up at the edge of the flfctd,
gave the welcome a martial tinge. "
The party left for Berlin proper
in two cars, Lindbergh with Col. Kastner
and Major Turman Smith, the
United States military attache, and
Mrs. Lindbergh with Mrs. Smith.
Major and Mrs. Smith will be host
to the Lindberghs during their visit,
and the Colonel will see Germany's
aerial development at first hand as
the guest of the air ministry.
Didn't Pay To Deceive
A tragic as well as pathetic story
comes from Bello Horizohte, Brazil,
where live Mr. and Mrs. Jose Ritta
who have been married sixteen years
and had grown morose over the irrospect
of their having to spend their
llves without children in the home.
His wife, Evangellna, felt just Hs badly
about It. Thinking about their misfortune
gave her an idea. To the
great Joy of her husband she announced
one day she was to become a mother
icon. Returning home one evening,
he found his wife in her room
with a small bundle In a pink blanket
at her side. "It is a boy," his wife
said. ? Jose, almost beside himself
with joy, rushed out for a priest who
waf? to administer first rites. When
he returned his sobbing wife told him
the baby was dead. Jose was overcome
with grief but built a small coftn
and his wife put the little form
into |t without letting her husband
see the face, and It was buried. Then
there were rumors In the community
which would not down until the little
grave was opened. In the cofTln was
found a rag doll. The attempted (deception
of Evangellna Rltta only made
matters worse for both of them.
Two persons were killed?one a rider
and the other a spectator?in a
200-mile motorcycle race at Swanssj*
A freight train hit a motorized work
car on a bridge near Belpre. Ohio, and
killed four Baltimore 4 Ohio track.
