They stopped at a filling station and at the point of guns made me telephone to Oeh- ler. ‘Tell him to meet you at the corner of College and Trade Sts.’ I told Oehler to meet me at the corner of Tryon and College. There is no such corner. By this and other means I managed to convey to Oeh- ler that there was something wrong so that they could get away before the gang arrived. “They threw me back into the car. They showed me a rope and said they were going to lynch me with it. They asked me how much it cost the I.L.D. to knock Campbel crazy. I told them that, was ridiculous. Then they blackjacked me and I was unconscious for over an hour. Beat Wells. “The next thing I remember, we stopped at the side of a lonely road the other side of Concord. They got out and I saw Saylors and Lell who were in the other cars. Most of the cars had left us in Charlotte to go to raid the LL.D. office there and try to get Dunne and Oehler and the others. They forced me to un- dress. “First they tried to make Saylors and Lell beat me with belts. Then the leaders seized sticks and hit me all over the body. Then someone shouted, ‘The law’s acoming.’ They drove off and I started to run. After running about 50 yards, I collapsed. Saylors and Lell found me after a search. The approaching auto that they had seen was.a party of pos- sum hunters. “We walked to Concord, about eight miles away. We couldn't get medical care, so we went back to Charlotte on the 5 a. m. train. As soon as I able, I intend to go back to Gastonia and go on organ- izing.” Saylor’s affidavit corroborates Wells’ statement and adds consid- erably more detail. “On» September 9, John Carpenter and Major Bulwinkle lined up a mob in front of his offfice. They put Charles Ferguson, speed cop, in front with his motorcycle, “They passed 512 West Airline Ave. with 105 automobiles. - I count- ed the cars. — “In about 15 or 20 minutes they tame back to 512 West Airline Ave., Naar the house, and filled the full of men.

They began to whisper among themselves that he knows us. They asked how many I knew of them. I told them I knew ‘several of them. “There were also two Oddfellows in the crowd. I let them know I had been a member for 20 years in good standing. They asked me what did I think they ought to do to me. I told them it was just up to them. I had no apologies to make. They then o1dered Wells to take his pants off or they would do it. They asked Lell and me to heat Wells with a leather belt they handed each of us. I put the belt in my pocket. I have it now and know who it belongs to, who took it off. They also kept a pair of my new slippers and said they could use them.
