Court Hears A 16-year-old Moore County boy laces trial in Superior Court for robbing another boy, also 16, of 15 cents. Roy Edward Burns of Eagle Springs, Route 2, whose employer on a chicken farm, Donald Burns, said he is a good worker and has never given any trouble before, is charged with holding an opened knife against the abdomen of Ewan Nichols, in the men’s room of a Robbins drug store, and tak ing, all the money Nichols had— 15 cents. Judge J. Vance Rowe, presiding in Recorder’s Court at Carthage ordered a capias issued for Monday, told young Burns that he jjj court Monday, as had committed a serious offense, I jjjg ijondsman, regardless of the amount of j noting that a new bond of $300 is money obtained, and found prob-1 required and that he was to be able cause on a charge of robbery | imprisoned if he did not furnish from the person with a deadly j^g^ bond. a civil suit for more than $50,000 against Ray and the car’s owner, Lloyd E. Filer. This has not yet come to trial. Liquor Cases Wayne Robert Jessup of Ben nett, Route 1, pleaded not guilty to possession of gdods, wares and merchandise for distilling illicit whiskey, as well as possession of illicit whiskey for sale, but he was found guilty of these charges and of aiding and abetting in the man ufacture of whiskey.

He pleaded guilty to the brakes and muffler charges, not guilty to hav ing the wine and whiskey for sale. He was found guilty of driving with improper equipment and un lawfully transporting too much wine and whiskey but was acquit ted dn the charge of having it for ed considerable mechanical abil ity in his work around the farm. Judge Rowe apparently felt that he should be held accountable for his actions and that now is the time for him to learn that crime doesn’t pay. Payment Demanded George M. Ray, Fort Bragg sol dier from Oregon, was in court Monday charged with failure to comply with those terms of a former judgment of the court by which he was required to pay the doctor, hospital and other medi cal expenses of Ella Marie Ken nedy, Pinehurst girl who was seriously injured last April when a sports car driven by Ray, in which she was a passenger, over turned near St. Joseph’s Hospital. Ray said he has been waiting for a settlement to be made by the company with which his auto mobile was insured. Medical ex penses that must be paid— amounting to $1,187.40—prompt ed the request for payment now, attorney for Miss Kennedy said. Judge Rowe found Ray guilty of failure to comply with this por tion of the former judgment and ordered an eight months’ road term into effect for the defendant unless he paid the amount before noon, Wednesday of this week. He was ordered held in jail until payment was made.

Dr. R. M. McMillan, testified he suffered from a ner vous condition which might, at times of tension, cause him to have an appearance of being drunk. Dr. McMillan said Mr. Howarth had taken medication for four or five years for a spasmodic afflic tion of the neck muscles which, at times when he was very tired or under strain, caused his head to draw downward and to the right. Adding to a “reasonable doubt” concerning Mr. Howarth’s guilt, said Judge J. Vance Rowe, was testimony given by Dr. McMillan and Schools Supt. A. C. Dawson, both of whom saw him a short time after the arrest, and stated that in their opinion he was then normal and in full possession of his faculties. Had Attended Meeting Mr. Howarth had presided at a school board meeting Tuesday night, September 13. ■ He * said that afterward he went to' his of fice to check up on some figures in a matter under discussion there; that he had then taken one drink and had driven to the post office and was on his way home when stopped by a patrolman on Fast Massachusetts Ave., near the school. Testifying for the defense be sides the doctor, the superinten dent and the defendant himself; were Harry J. Menzel and Dr. Vida C. McLeod, members of the schsol board, who said he was in their opinion “entirely normal” at that time; and C. C. Kennedy, clerk of court, a former cashier of the Citizens Bank and Trust Co., who examined Mr. Howarth’s signature on the bond paper sign ed at the Aberdeen police station after the arrest, and declared it normal. Officers Testify Posed against their evidence was that of State Highway Patrol man C. G. Wimberly, who said he first spotted Mr. Howarth as he was coming out of the post office about 10:45 p. m. in»a “staggering condition”; that he had followed his car for two and a half blocks up East Massachusetts avenue and saw it weave from, side to side in “long slow rolls”; and that Howarth appeared drunk or doped when the patrolman stop ped him near the school. Night Officer Floyd Lucas of Aberdeen and Justice of the Peace J. G. Farrell, who was sum moned to the Aberdeen police sta tion to make disposition of the case, corroborated his staterrient. At the station Mr. Howarth was bonded into the custody Of Supt. Dawson, who went there in re sponse to a phone call. They re turned to the school office, where Dr. McMillan was summoned. Mr. Howarth said he had tak en some medicine for his nerves before going to the school board meeting; that afterweird he was “very tired, also rather upset” by a discussion which had taken place at the meeting, and that (Continued on Page “B”) Fourth Antique Show at FINETHY’S TATUM; S.
