Pinehurst Drivers
Admit To 70, Give
Notice Of Appeal
“Speeding is not only a crime,
it is the next thing to murder, and
those who violate the speed laws
are committing criminal acts,’’
said Judge J. Vance Rowe in
Moore County recorders court
Monday, in sentencing two teen
age boys convicted of driving 90
miles an hour.
In a 30-minute speech he took
the boys, and other such violators, ‘
; severely to task, declaring that
“speeding and reckless driving are
1 the worst single offenses we have
[to contend with in our courts to
day.” He added that “the pity is,
SO' many of our so-called nice and
respectable people, who would ^
scorn to lie, steal or kill, do not|
have their opinion of themselves!
lowered in the least by being ar
rested for speeding.”
He cited the 1,100 lives lost on
North Carolina highways during
1952 as compared with the com
paratively minor figure of Tar
Heel casualties in Korea, pointing
out that “if all these had been lost
on the battlefield we would be
unanimous in our mourning and
grief, and the determination that
it must be stopped. Yet, until pub
lic opinion rises from its apathy
and turns against the speeders on
our highways, we will continue to
have this senseless slaughter.”
Road Terms Suspended
To emphasize the criminality of
their act he gave Thomas C
Darst, III, 19, of Pinehurst, and
Philip Whitman White, 18, of
Scardale, N. Y., a Pinehurst win
ter resident, sentences of three
months on the roads, suspended
on payment of fines of $125 each
and costs, and on condition that
they not operate a motor vehicle
during the next 12 months.
JNignt Officers Baker and Jones
of the Southern Pines police force
testified that they had started in
pursuit of the two cars, of which
young Darst’s was in the lead,
near the Southern Pines city lim
its last Monday evening, and that
beyond the city limits along
Youngs road had decked them
at 90 miles.
Cases Appealed
Through their attorney, Jehn D.
McConnell the boys admitted to
driving 70 miles an hour, but no
more, and Darst’s father took the
stand to say he did not think the
family car could get up more
speed than that in such a short
time. Notice of appeal was given
for both young men, and their
bonds were set at. $300 apiece.
Both are sons of respected fam
ilies, with no record of any pre
vious trouble. Darst was on holi
day from college. White from
prepratory school, and they were
on their way to a holiday partv
when arrested. Darst was accom
panied by a Pinehurst girl, Whitt
by his brother.
