HOWE WORK
S:’Kt» I nave civen the origin |

J *uiv i.tiiioi:.- .1 aie how ihe home
Variety works.
This evening 1 M as smoking !
furiously, as a substitute for think- I
ing, and the
place was getting ,£ss&f
more than a lit- .#• I
tie murky. Ac- $ V
Cording ly Mrs. t •
Wilson filled a I
deep ashtray with ",
ammonia and wa- t
ter, a mixture
Which s<a i I
£* she put it
down near me, M 8» WILSON |
sh« remarked,
“Now don't put your cigarette on |
this as it is not an ashtray. 1
Always alert, I inquired, “What i
jfcsn is it? A bathtub? An utn?j
Or, perchance, one of the Great!
f^kes?”
Such levity did not strike her
fclndly and, were she a different
kind of person, she might have in
vited me to seek a warmer winter
KMort than is usually found on
this earth. As it was she displayed ;
remarkable restraint. “You know
What 1 mean!”
Thoroughly enjoying myself, I
replied, “No. 1 don't know whatj
you mean. What the use of j
having speech, an edundion and a
passable vocabulary if you can’t
say what you mean? No— ’’
By now she was about as friend
ly as a parking ticket and cut me
off quicker t! an the g.v c unpany
after the third notice. “Oh, go
write a column!”
So, with the quiet nobility of j
sman who just ducked a flying i
platter, I will pick on people who
don't have the energy to an-werj
me back.

Judges Differ On Sentence
BY ALEXANDER BARNES I
.CARTHAGE -i- North Carolina's!
justice ran into another snag here j
this week when J. Vance Rowe,
Moore County Recorders Court:
judge, ruled that Henry Robin-!
son, recent defendant, in a bizzare
note-writing assault case, should'
be returned to court by capias;
and serve a sentence given him in j
a previous case.
It all came about when Judge l
Frank Armstrong suspended a six-;
months sentence imposed on him, j
here last week, in Supcror Court,!
in a strange case of assault, in j
which he was found guilty of;
the crime of dropping a note at;
the feet of a young white girl, j
Louise Phillips, in wduch he set i
forth that he wanted her to meet;
him at a specified place.
The case drew much attention!
and was hotly contested Herbert!

FAYETTEVILLE A young |
housewife was fattally wounded;
with a .22 calibre rifle Sunday
near her home in the Washington
Park area here following an ar
gument with a neighbor, accord
ing to police reports.
The victim, Mrs. Annie Moors
was pronounced dead on arrival
at a local hospital. She had been
wounded m the right chest.
Arrested in connection with the •
on a charge of murder. Police said '
killing was Ella Mae Carmichael l
!'nt: Moore woman was advancing!
on Ella Mae. with a knife when;
she pulled ihe trigger.
The dead woman’s husband,;
Henry Moore had been cut about;
the back, sides and arms minutes |
be tore the fatal shooting.
A triangular situation enters the i
picture as reports have it that j
Mrs. Moore did the cutting after j
accusing Moore of having an of-;
fail with the Carmichael woman, j
the sheriffs office reported,
Moore, who was receiving at- j
tention at the hospital for his
wounds, happened to glance in j
the direction of hia home and saw i
i of the church which is now in the
j process of erecting a building,!
j having used a small residential!
! structure for worship for several j
I years. Because of this, the Faith!
| * hurch accepted the preferred use |
of the Mt, Pisgah Presbyterian;
! church for the one-day session,)

lists from all sections of the |
\fate converged on Raleigh for j
this momentous occasion. 0» the |

huge crowd that attended the ;

Mrs. Edythe R. Tweedy, BTW
F. Sewall, stormy political figure
of the Eisenhower Administration,
tried to have the case dismissed,
first, due to the fact that the ori
ginal note was not presented in
evidence and secondly because
there was not sufficient evidence
to support an assault case.
It was believed to be the first
time in the annals of legal history
that a man was tried for assault
with a pencil. North Carolina
gained much publicity when Max
Ingram was sentenced for assault
with his eyes, on a white girl,
in Caswell County. This case was
fought through many torrid hours,
with Ingram finally saved from
the county road.
The assault by pencil case was
thought to be even more strange
than the "leering’’ case and when
defense attorney and Judge Arm
strong finally settled on a suspend
the stretcher containing the body
of his wife as she was being
taken to the Funeral Parlor.
When arrested, the Carmichael
woman had a knife in her posses
sion. Sheriff L. L. Guy said the
rifle was found hidden in a loft.
No definite trial date has been
set.

, ed sentence there were many who
| felt that, the long arm of the law
I had stretched too far, but now
i comes a new chapter.
Robinson is being called back to
court for the alleged violation of
a sentence imposed on him on
August 15, 1951. The sentence was
imposed on conviction of assault
with a dangerous weapon, in Re-,
corders Court, and suspended on
conditions of good behavior for
two years. Recorder Rowe holds
that since the note throwing sen
tence was handed out on An .u -t
15, 1953 that the probationary time
was not up and therefore he should
serve the 1951 sentence.
Veteran court experts forecast
a legal battle. This is based on |
the fact that Judge Armstrong if
said to have related that the su
spended sentence should not hold'
against Robinson. Rowe has aL j
ready announced his disfavor . to!
Judge Armstrong’s opinion, and I
though Judge Armstrong’s court ■
is a higher court has said that i
Armstrong could not supercede

Legal battle line are drawing!
tigher. The capias was issued Mon- j
day, due to the fact that Robinsonj
did not appear in court. Solicitor;
W. Larnont Brown said that he
had expected to see Robinson in
court, due to the fact that he had
the capias served on him, immedi
ately after he was released, on
the note-throwing charge, last
week, larnont, however, told the j
Recorder that Judge Armstrong
did not want the sentence to
carry through on Robinson. Rob
inson's father signed a $200.00 bond
for his appearance on Monday.
