Saturday night and early Sun
day morning seemed to be, at
least for Moore County, the time
for speeders to try and escape
from pursuing law officers.
Three separate chases, all in
which the would-be escapees
roared their cars up to more than
85 miles per hour, happened in
different parts of the county.
Norman F. Scarboro, an 18-
year-old Marine from) Raeford
who was home on leave, was
found guilty in Moore Re
corder’s Court Monday of driving
drunk, speeding and careless and
reckless driving. He was given
four months road sentence and
recommended imprisonment at a
first offender’s camp.
Officers recounting the story
said that Scarboro was first en
countered by State Highway Pa
trolman C. G. Wimberly at Manly
about 10 o’clock Saturday night.
Wimberly, knowing that a speed
clock was being operated north
on US Highway 1 by the other
hiembers of the patrol, called
ahead and warned them that
Scarboro’s car was heading that
way.
Patrolman R. R. Samuels, who
had left Manly just minutes be
fore going north, pulled off the
road to await the car. When Scar
boro’s car passed Samuels the pa
trolman fell in behind him but
got tied up in traffic and got be
hind.
Scarboro’s car passed the clock
at 72 miles per hour, the officers
testified.
Patrolman E. G. Shomaker and
Cpl. Jim McColman, who had
been working the clock, also
roared in pursuit of Scarboro.
Just before reaching Vass, Pa
trolman Samuels said, Scarboro
passed four cars on a curve, nar
rowly escaping death to himself
and passengers in the other cars.
Once again, Samuels said, Scar
boro narrowly escaped death
when he continued driving in the
wrong lane and forced three cars
off the highway.
The patrolman finally managed
to get the youthful Marine stop-,
ped about two miles south of
Cameron. When asked why he
had been driving at such high
rates of speed in such a careless
and dangerous ma nner, Scar
boro responded; “My buddy, who
is in the back seat, has been shot
and I’m taking him, to a hospital.”
The officers could find no . one
in the back seat. Scarboro, they
said, was quite drunk.
When Scarboro’s father asked
for mercy in court Monday,
Judge Rowe commented: “Driv
ing a car in the manner he did is
equally as dangerous, in my opin
ion, as a man running down the
road with a loaded pistol shoot
ing at people.”
In another case Monday Joe
Franklin Spivey of Route 1, Car
thage, drew six months on the
roads for speeding from officers.
According to Robbins police
chief W. F. Thrower, Spivey roar
ed into town at a speed in excess
of 55, going all the way up to 73
at one point.
Thrower, along with policeman
James E. Blake, chased him

through town at speeds to 73
and Out of town at varying speeds
from 70 to 95, they testified.
Spivey, they said, came close to
wrecking at least twice. Once he
took a curve on two wheels and
almost lost the road. He finally
was stopped about two miles
fromi the Robbins city limits on
Hemp Street Extension after hit
ting his brakes, skidding about
150 feet, jumping a six-foot ditch
cmdcoming to rest in an embank
ment with the front end of his
car torn up.
Officers found part of a bottle
of gin in his car.
Spivey did not take the witness
stand and pleaded guilty on all

sentence. Judge Rowe said that
motorists in the area were lucky
that night that they didn’t get
close to Spivey. “This could have
been one of those terrible trage
dies,” he said,

One other case, which also hap
pened Saturday, was not tried
this week.

Southern Pines policemen
Yonts an(J Stout had stopped a
car full of young boys about 1:15
Saturday morning and were
questioning them.
Someone, they reported, back
ed out of a driveway and, after
almost hitting the police car,
roared off.
A chase that got up to 80 miles
per hour in town and 100 miles
per hour out of town finally end
ed when the officers forced the
car off the road near the water
plant on the Carthage road.
They arrested Gene Ray Jones,
a soldier at Fort Bragg.
Jones told them he had been
caught in town once before “and
didn’t want to get caught again.”
He is scheduled to be tried
after the special termi of Superior
Court, which begins August 13, is
finished.
