Raleigh. June 11.—With the ar rest of Thomas Dunn, aged AA’ake county negro, for operating an auto mobile with a new license tag on it for the July 1-Decombcr 31 period, the question of Avhether or not one can do. this and still be within the confines of the law raised today. Special Deputy Liles arrested Dunn and took him before Justice Owens. Lilies took the license plate off the car and had the negro put under a .S2OO bond. Dunn retained the Uiav firm of Briggs and West to defend him. Tney contend that the fact that an agent of 4he county instead of nil agent of the automobile license department made the arrest makes it illegal, and that, therefore, the deputy is liable to arrest for trespass and for steal ing. They contend that the law states that if a license is to be re \-oked or seized while on a car that it must be done by an agent of the automobile license department. The law firm, in their defense, al so contend that it is legal for any one to use a license when it is is sued. Further, they say, the notice of an assigned number which is sent to the owners of automobile-i does not Specify when the license is to be placed on display. Thank You! \i g ' * • 1-V • 1 - 1 » !
