> / Page FOURTEEN THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina THURSDAY. AUGUST 23, 1956 Judge Continues Crackdown On Speeders; Pinehurst Man Gets Straight 10-Months Term For 100 MPH Run Judge J. Vance Rowe continued a crackdown on high speed auto mobile drivers in Recorder’s Court Monday as he gave a young 23- year-old Pinehurst Negro a straight 10-month road sentence for speeding more than 100 miles per hour in an attempt to elude a chasing highway patrolman. Oscar Bobby Thomas, who lives at Roosevelt, New York, and Pine hurst, was arrested Saturday af ternoon about 5:30 after a chase over Midland Road (NC 2) by Pa trolman E. G. Shomaker. Shomaker testified in court that he first saw Thomas rounding a curve on Midland Road coming out of Pinehurst. He estimated his speed at the time as about 75. He gave chase and finally, after attaining speeds of 100 miles per hour, caught Thomas on Carlyle Street. Shomaker said it was his im pression that Thomas was “unde cided just whether he wanted to go to jail or not.” He said he told the young con struction laborer'that he would be charged with speeding and care less and reckless driving. Thom as, he testified, wouldn’t get in the patrol car for the trip to Carthage. Shomaker said he warned Thomas several times he would alfo charge him with resisting ar rest if he didn’t get in the car. Twice, he said, Thomas ran down the block and only came back on the urgent pleading of his mother, who was a passenger in his car. Judge Rowe gave Thomas a straight 10 months’ road sentence, which was appealed to Superior Court. After setting a cash or jus tified bond of $1,000 at the re quest of Solicitor W. Lamont Brown, Thomas decided not to ap peal the case. There was one other case in court Monday which officers say was one of the “roughest” they had had in some time.
