Judge William J. McLeod of Dillion sentenced him to 15 years for attempted armed robbery and five years for the assault. The sentences will run concurrently. James was the driver of the car which attempted to rob Harley Solesbee last fall. The net sentence of 15 years was recommended by Solicitor Claude A. Taylor, Jr. because James testified in the trial of a co-defendant Thursday, he had no record, and he didn’t actually beat Solesbee. James testified Thursday that he drove the car which was taken from Robert Petty in Gaffney and in which Petty was in the trunk, to the Solesbee station. James said he remained in the car while Johnson went inside.
