"We came to the show Monday, saw this house and bought it on the spot. "Then we bought a lot in Hopkinton and we're just waiting to have it placed on the site." The 52x24 foot, seven-room home will be transported to Hopkinton without difficulty, the builder, Westville Homes of West-ville, N.H., said.

It was built to be transported. "Actually, we've been building houses like this for three years," Robert Goldmark, the firm's marketing manager, said. "You see, we build the houses in two separate but matching halves right in the plant. The halves are erected on top of flat bed trailers, hauled directly to the home site, placed on the foundation and bolted together." Dean Howard, the man directly in charge of construction, said the Joneses' home, now sitting smack in the middle of the Home Show main floor, took just five days to erect inside the Auditorium. "Actually, it's stronger than conventionally built houses.

The very nature of the structure forces it to be stronger." This is the third year that Westville, a subsidiary of Amoskeag has erected a complete house for the show.

Another car pulled alongside and there was a long burstof what the baker thought was machine gun fire. It is believed that Miss Sussman was riding in front beside Milano who was driving.

Ayres Globe Staff Two men firing automatic weapons riddled a car standing at a Brighton traffic light early today, mortally wounding one occupant and injuring two others. Fatally wounded was Michael Milano, 30, of 33 Walbridge Allston, head bartender at Mother's, a cafe near the North Station. He died at St. Elizabeth's Hospital three hours later. Woundefl, and in critical condition at the hospital is Louis Lapiana, 35, of H6 Tremont Brighton, another bartender at Mother's.

He was shot four times in the back. A woman who was riding in the car, Diana Suss-man, 23, also of 116 Tremont Brighton, was slightly wounded. A bul let struck her in the shoulder. Police are mystified about the motive for the murderous attack. They toured the North Station area, questioning acquaintances of the victims.

One officer estimated that at least 30 shots had been fired at the Mercedes-Benz driven by Milano. It was first believed that a machine gun had been employed. Later studies revealed that the shots were fired from a .45 calibre automatic weapon. All the windows in the car were shattered, except the windshield. Two men in a late model gray car drove away, after the fusillade, witnesses said.

We recalled the legend of J. B. King, the millionaire hobo who chalked his signature on railroad cars from Maine to California. The story goes that King was once picked up by a yard cop for autographing a private car belonging to the president of the Commonwealth and Promontory Railroad.

King revealed his real name to the car's owner, and even claimed he owned enough shares of that road to "swing control." Then, King took a bottle from his bindle and poured the man a drink. best cocktail I ever tasted" was how the president later described it. The story as told, however, raises a number of questions. Hobo at Heart? Supposedly King told the magnate he hated the wealth he'd been born to because he'd done nothing to earn it. He said there are few men who decide for themselves who and what they want to be, and he was proud to be one.

But was he really? Maybe, maybe not. We've heard plenty of theories about King. That he was yardmaster for the Kansas City belt line in 1900 and-this is funny-that he was an ex-con from Sing Sing. Old railroad men say he looked like the rest of the 'boes-could walk the top of box cars going 50 miles an hour like a cat. Had cat eyes too, that could see in the dark.

But the big mystery remains unsolved. Did King actually give up millions for the freedom of the road? Or was it all a myth he created to fulfill a fantasy? More Than One King? There's not much tangible evidence except for King's signature. An old brakeman once said, "First thing I expect to see when I get to heaven is J. B. King, scrawled across them pearly gates." Thousands of railroad cars were inscribed with his autograph.

Even used to be a poem about it: Who is this fellow J. B. King, Who writes his name on everything? J. B. King on every wall, On flat cars low and box cars tall.

Whether he does it for money or fun, He sure is a scribbling son of a gun. If General Electric 2 Cycle MISaToTHS Black tWhite Table Model TV I A Mystery or a Secret? Finally, mystery surrounds the drink itself. Presumably King told the president of the that whenever he got lonesome, he'd hang up his hat somewhere, call it home, and then drink a Hobo's Wife-a cocktail made to a secret formula. The tycoon persuaded King to share the formula with him. But what sort of persuasion did he use? Blackmail? Was King just being friendly? Or had the tycoon invented the drink himself and credited King with the recipe just to give it a dash of romance? We can't give you the answer.
