reconcile matters with his wife,
but she refused to make up
with him.
On Monday, it is said, he went
to Beach high school where his
wife worked as a cook in the
cafeteria and again sought a
reconcilation.
Fearing that her husband
would cause a scene at the
school she left her work and
the two of them went home and,
Mrs. Powell went to the yard to
hang out some washing.
Powell, who was in a back
room overlooking the yard took
up the shot gun and fired at
his wife through the window
pane, striking the woman down.
He reloaded the gun and went
down the back steps and fired
at her again.
.In attempting to shield her¬
self from the second gun blast
Mrs. Powell, as she Jay wounded
on the ground, pleaded with
her husband not to shoot again.
She threw up her hand to pro¬
tect her face. He ignored her
plea, the gun blast blowing off
her left hand.
Powell then reloaded his gui
and placed the muzzle of th<
gun against his chest. In reach¬
ing down to pull the trigger the
muzzle moved and the blast
only tore off a fleshy portion
of his arm. Loading the gun
again, he placed the muzzle
against his abdomen and pulled
the trigger, death resulting in¬
stantly.
Mrs. Powell’s life was, nr
doubt, saved by her shielding
her face with her arm before
her husband fired the second
shot at her as the charge of
gunshot would have hit her
squarely in the face.
Mrs. Powell was rushed in a
Monroe Funeral Directors am¬
bulance to Charity hospital,
where up to this morning her
condition was reported “fair.”
However, yesterday it was
found necessary to extract her
right eye which was badly in¬
jured by pellets from the gun
shell.
The dead man was moved to
the mortuary of Steele Under¬
taking Establishment and later
to Jones Undertaking Company
A note was left by the dead
man to his mother asking hei
to take care of the children.
A few minutes before the
shooting Powell went to a near¬
by grocery store and purchased
a writing pad and pencil. It wa?
in this tablet that he wrote the
note*to his mother and the one
telling of his wish to “end il
all.”
Powell was regarded by those
who knew him well, as a very
quiet man. He was employed at
Union Bag Comanpy.

ind does not specifically call for
a Negro.
Because of her
nitments, It is hardly possible
hat Miss Anderson will have
jther singing roles at the Met
ipolitan this season. Her
'Masked Ball” appearances will
be sandwiched in between the
concert dates.
The signing represented a
climax in a career Miss Ander¬
son began in Philadelphia
where her mother took in wash¬
ing to support the family.
Neighbors raised money for her
musical education by donating
'mall sums to her family.
Critics and conductors hailed
her in her first appearances in
the United States but it was
not until after she had made a
spectacular success in Europe as
i contralto that Miss Anderson
became popular in her home
country.
Noted for her interpretations
if Negro spirituals, Miss Ander¬
son had a full classical music
sducation and sings in nine
'anguages.
“A voice like hers comes once
'n a hundred years,” Arturo
"oscanini once said.
In 1946 she was invited to
ing for the Daughters of the
American Revolution in Con¬
stitution Hall in Washington,!
b.C. But she accepted only the
ondition her audience be un-
egregated and that the hall
hould be open to her in the
uture.
The DAR refused on both
ounts. Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
elt resigned from the organi¬
sation in protest and the dispute
•aged for three months.
Later Miss Anderson relented
ind sang the concert in order
lot to deprive the Army emer¬
gency relief fund of the pro¬
ceeds.

The trio admitted driving to
Savannah from Atlanta and

urning to Atlanta—
A considerable amount of the

in Booker T. Washington 5C
cent pieces which led to their
irrest.
In Sylvania on'their return
Tip to Atlanta, they stopped to
nake some purchases, paying
or the items in Booker T.
Washington silver pieces. This
aroused the suspicions of the
store keeper who told the local
iheriff the men might have
been connected with the Savan¬
nah bank robbery that day. The
;heriff informed the FBI of the
uspicions and two nights later
he bandits were arrested ir.
Atlanta.
Carver Savings bank is oper¬
ated by Louis B. Toomer as
president, who was several
months ago appointed register
of the U. S’. Treasury. It is one
of two Negro banks in Georgia.
One of the bandits, Harvey,
was a patron of the bank when
he was stationed here at Hun¬
