Element of Winter
By MURRELL SMITH
A noble tree sheds au
tumn’s flaming red leaves;
its foliage flutters softly
down through streaks of
sunlight and rest on tender
green sprouts.
Gone are the beautiful
blankets of daffodils and
violets that cover the rip
pling streams.
Gone are the lovely rain
bows after a summer mist
of rain.
Winter’s clouds cover the
bleak and dismal earth,
i By the crackling fire a
l beagle gnaws eockleburs
j from his nettled coat,
j In the briar thicket a cot--
j ton tail fluffs his downy fur,
| smugly in his bed.
j Quail are in flight once
j again from the hunter,
i White snow flakes swirl
and revolve as they settle
gently on golden grains of
1 Wheat and the sparkling
green needles of the spruce j
j branches.

SENATOR A
SAM ERVIN A
* says *
MORGANTON Anticrime
legislation is sure to get
more attention in the 90th
Congress. Crime rates have
continued to soar in recent
months, and the National
Crime Commission, which is
conducting a study on the
problem, reports that a
great proportion of crime is
not even reported in these
rates.
Recommendations to curb
crime often get bogged down
in controversy. Congress has
faced the situation' for some
time. The hope that the
President expressed at the
first meeting of the National
Crime Commission in Sep
tember, 1965, that crime will
be banished has come to
grips with the problem more
recently. Cc-ngress came bp
with a long studied crjrne
bill for the District of Co
lumbia at. the last session
and passed it. It suffered a
Presidential veto. Few now

Tiie cold wind bends the

look for any easy solutions
to crime.
Two Presidential commis
sions, one to study national
and one to study District of
Columbia problems, have
been working on anticrime
recommendations for months.
The recommendations of
these commissions are cer
tain to get much attention,
but it is well to remember
that almost everyone has an
opinion about how to cur
tail crime. Congress, the
President, and the Courts
have been having a say
about the subject since it be
came t national issue.
There is an overriding
concern which it would be
well to emphasize again. The
truth is that recent Supreme
Court rulings have been
ruling out reliable evidence
because the majority of the
Court has disagreed with the
way the police havs gathered
it. The latest step which the
Court took in this direction
came last June when the
Miranda decision reversed
state court convictions for
kidnapping, rape, and rob
bery, and a federal court
conviction for robbery. The
•majority epinion was on the
ground that the convictions
were based upon voluntary
confessions made by the ac
cused while they were being
questioned by law enforce
ment officers who had them
in custody.
As a result, law enforce
ment officers and the trial
courts are experiencing more
difficulty and oftentimes the
impossibility of getting con- i
victions against confessed |
criminals. Justice Harlan
appraised aright the major- i
ity decision in the Miranda
case when he declared in his !
dissenting opinion that “the
decision of the court repre
sents poor constitutional law
and entails harmful conse-
of the county at
large.”
The court decisions cannot
be overlooked in any ap
praisal of the crime situa
tion. They have, erected ar
tificial rules to protect the
accused on the theory that
society needs little protec
tion from criminals. Over- >
ridden is the fundamental
purpose of criminal law
which is to protect society
against criminals. True, the
law desires to avoid convic
tion of any innocent person,
and establishes the legal
presumption of innocence in
favor of the accused at every
stage* of his trial. From
time to time the law has
erected many safeguards to
insure that the accused has s
fair trial. Un*il recently,
however, it has not sought
to erect barriers to the
truth.
Formerly the courts relied
. on the judgment of (he trial
judge who performed the
task of ruling on the admis
sibility of voluntary con
fessions. The artificial bar
riers set by the Supreme
Court have imposed unne
cessary burdens on law en
forcement officers, the trial
courts and society. Law
abiding citizens have rights,
tco, and I think it is time to
secure those rights.
For this reason, I plan to
reintroduce my proposed
constitutional amendment to
restore society’s right to have
greater protection from crim
inals who confess their guilt
voluntarily in federal and
state courts.

MISREPRESENTATION
OF BRIDE
Henry Brown, a wealthy
and highly respected man,
met Mary Green, an attrac
tive young woman, while at
tending a religious conven
tion. Mary informed Henry
that she was a church work
er and that she had been on
but a .few dates with men.
She appeared very retiring
and shy, and Henry had to
have numerocs dates with
her before he could get even
a good-night kiss. She rep
resented to him that she was
a virgin and had never used
intoxicating beverages or
cigarettes. Henry married
Mary.
When they attempted to
register at a resort hotel on
the first night of their
honeymoon, the night clerk
refused to assign them to a
room. The hotel clerk in
formed Henry that prosti
tutes were not permitted to
register at the hotel and
that Mary had been thrown
out of the hotel as such only
a few weeks earlier.
Upon further inquiries,
Henry discovered that Mary
was well known among ho
tel men as a prostitute, that
she had been convicted on
such charges in the courts
several times, and was also
an alcoholic. Mary was
definitely not the kind of
girl she had represented
herself to be. She had never
done any church work; in
fact, she was not even a
church member.
Henry did not continue his
honeymoon with Mary. He
abandoned her in the lobby
of the hotel on the .first
night of his married life.
He has not since seen her I
May Henry Have his marri-
I age annulled?
No. There does not exist
a ground for an annulment
lof the marriage. Mary is
I the legal wife of Henry. He
must maintain and suppor,
her.

not a ground for annulment
or divorce in North Caro
lina and most states. Mis
representations or conceal
ments as to wealth, occupa
tion, rank and character are
not usually grounds for an
nulment.
If Mary should subsequent
to her marriage engage in
prostitution or commit a
single act of adultery, her
husband would be able to
obtain from her an absolute
divorce decree on the ground
of adultery. This would be
a marital otifense committed
subsequent to the marriage.
Legally speaking, Henry,
was not justified in abandon- j
ing his bride at the begin- 1
ning 'of their honeymoon.:
He cannot after a one year’s !
separation dissolve the mar
riage by a divorce obtained
on the statutory ground of
one year’s separation if Mary
properly contests the action.
The separation was occasion
ed by a willfll abandonment
on the part of the husband.
