Finch was fined $25 and costs and Arnold Macon $10 and costs when they were tried before Judge W. W. Taylor in Recorder's court on Monday morning for resisting arrest and assaulting Night Officer Lee Wilsoh last Thursday morning about 3 o'clock. When asked their plea by Solicitor Daniel, the two Henderson men said that they were guilty of striking Mr. Wilson but at that time they did not know he was an officer. mr. wnson tesunea tnat alter ne had been told by Officer Frank Neal that two men had had some disturbance on the streets here with John Powell and N. P. Marks he ran across Finch and Macon at Hotel Warren and began questioning them in regard to their business here. He said that when he told the men that he was an officer and that they could either get out of town or go with him that Finch became very antagonistic and stated that he was not going anywhere. Continuing his testimony, the officer said that when he caught the man by the arm and started down the street that Finch jerked away, tearing his shirt about the arm. Finch then tore his entire shirt into shreds and told Wilson that he would have to buy him another, the witness stated. Officer Wilson testified that Macon reached to his pocket like he was going for a gun and that Finch looked like he was getting ready to attack him, so he ?j 1_ i-1? 1? ?i n.uu uir. bu uuk. r uiui biuc me ueau wiui mo i gun and "covered" Macon. On the way down the street with the two men; the witness testified, Macon grabbed the officer's gun arm and Pinch grabbed him around the neck and struck him in the face. When Jesse Richardson, porter at the hotel, ran to the scene of the combat, Pinch released his hold and Finch gave up on the condition that Mr. Wilson would not shoot him, it was testified. Later the two men were brought to the lockup by Mr. Wilson. Jesse Richardson testified that the two men came into the hotel and wanted a room. He said that he told them that he could not let them have a room unless they had money or baggage. He said that the men were on the porch when Mr. Wilson came up and that he heard the conversation that took place and was a witness to the assault. His testimony was that Officer Wilson told the men that he was an officer before he struck Finch. In addition, he said, Mr. Wilson had on his badge which was in plain sight. Roosevelt Bullock, bell hop at the hotel, corroborated the testimony given by Officer Wilson and Richardson in regard to the Vance county men being informed by Mr. Wilson as to his authority. Bullock said that he did not see all the fight due to the fact that he had gone after Chief Drake. Neither of the defendants went on the stand, nor did they bring any witnesses here to testify in their behalf. They were at first sentenced to four months on the roads, but before court adjourned Officer Wilson told Judge Taylor that Macon was not as much at fault as was Finch and asked that he be given a lighter sentence than his companion in crime. Others interceded in behalf of Finch and their sentences were changed to fines of $10 and $25 plus court costs. John Vincent, negro of Littleton arrested by Sheriff W. J. Pinnell, Fred Bobbitt and Fate Weaver after a small quantity of liquor and some home brew had been found at his home and still sites had been located near his premises, was given a six months road sentence, suspended provided he pay a fine and court costs and remain of good behavior for two years. A number of white citizens from Littleton and nearby were in court in behalf of the negro, testifying that they had never heard of Vinson selling any whiskey and stating that he was a man of good character. The defendant, who was represented by S. G. Daniel of Littleton, plead guiltv ? ? u t r_ jto naving cne liquor ana Drew, ne told the court that the booze was there as medicine for his daughter and that he made the brew for his own consumption. Ed Rodwell, negro, was fined $5 and costs after he had been found guilty of possessing and transporting a pint of whiskey. A similar charge brought Anthony Johnson, white man, into the toils of the law. He was found guilty of having a small quantity of whiskey in a jar and was fined $5 and taxed with (Continued on Page 6) 1 1 ... -J**-. 4 ' ' -V/. j. ' ; j armt f. C.f FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, l!
