the state and into the care of Chief
Engineer Leolan Whitehurst aboard
the craft which will scour the terri
torial waters of North Carolina's oc
ean in search of trawlers who would
violate the law by dragging too close
to the shore.
WE SAILED FROM Morehead
City the home port of the Hatteras

the wharves in the harbor Capt. Guy
Gaskill, skipper of the vessel, sig
nalled to the engine room for full

ATTEMPTED RAPE
CASE NOT TRIED
Onslow County Girls
Withdraw Charges
Against Men
Mary Green and Pearl Smithwick,
each giving their ages as 14, swore
out warrants against Jesse Kellum
and Hubert Jones charging them
with attempted rape, same alleged to
have happened in one of the cabins
of a Morehead Bluffs toursit camp on
September 7. Residents of Onslow
county, the two defendants were
placed under arrest by officers and
the trial was scheduled to be held
here last Tuesday, but was postponed
until Tuesday of this week.
Naturally the court officials were
somewhat shocked when the four
parties involved, the Green and Smith
wick girls and the two defendants
came into court on Tuesday, the
best of friends with a plea that the
case be nol-prossed. Since the pros
ecuting witnesses wanted it that way,
the case was taken from the dockets
and everybody was happy and in
cidentally wondering what had
brought about the change in the
state of affairs.
The only other case tried Tuesday
was that of Edna Pearl Fisher, a very
black colored girl, by Edith Fisher
her mother on a charge of general
misbehavior and trespass. Since was
the second time the case had been in
court, Judge Webb gave Edna a sus
pended sentence of 30 days and
warned her to be a better daughter
in the future or be jailed.
