Negro Burned To Death In Blazing Store Here
Raeford Kingsberry a 28 year old Black man died early this morning in a fire at a one story wooden store on Hoover street. Coroner J M Simpson said death came from suffocation and burns as firemen found him near the rear of the burning building. Police review evidence for possible foul play though no substantial proof found. Store owner Raymond Evans suspects arson and notes the fire started in the rear away from wiring or stove. The bed Kingsberry slept near a front stove and an open water spigot and bucket near the body suggest he tried to fight the flames. Fire crews extinguished the blaze but the building and merchandise were destroyed. An inquest was held at Haizlip’s funeral home.
