THE OLD CROW DISTILLERY CO.. FRANKFORT. KENTUCKY
Highf alls Man Is
Acquitted Of Sex
Charges Friday
A young Army veteran and
Highfalls filling station proprie
tor, Raeford B. Jessup, 24, was ac
quitted by a jury last week of
crime against nature, in one of
the frankest, most sensational tri
als ever held in a Moore County
court.
Starting late Thursday and
completed Friday at noon before
Judge W. H. S. Burgwyn, the
trial was the last of the special
term and played out its sordid
drama to an almo.st empty court
room.
The defendant was accused of
having committed unnatural sex
acts “40 or 50 times” over a two-
year period against a 13-year-old
boy, Charles Franklin HiU.
Jessup denied the accusations,
saying that the boy had “hung
around” his filling station too
much, had made a nuisance of
himself and he had had to send
him home “about 100 times.” Jes
sup’s wife sat beside him through
out the trial, and took the stand
in his defense.
The crime is a serious one un
der North Carolina statutes. If
convicted Jessup would have been
sent to State Prison for from five
up to 60 years.
A native of Chatham County,
and married six years, he moved
to Moore County and built a com
bination home and filling station
on Highway 22, about a half-mile
north of Highfalls, something
over two years ago. Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Hill, parents of Charles
Franklin, live within a stone’s
throw of Jessup’s place.
Frank Hill testified that he took
out the warrant against Jessup
last August after a friend had
come to him and told him the
goings-on involving his son had
follows:
Girls: West End 38, Westmore
34; West End 62, Biscoe 48; West

been “common talk” for the past
year. HiU said he had heard no
such talk, but on this information
he and his wife had drawn admis
sions from the boy.
Mrs. Hill gave similar testi
mony, and Deputy Sheriff D. B.
Cranford, whom they had then
summoned to their home, said he
had questioned the lad in detail
and heard the same story from
him.
The boy himself on the staid
was readily responsive to ques
tioning, and was specific in de
scribing the acts, which he said
had taken place in the rest room,
the front room and bedroom of
Jessup’s place, for payment of a
quarter, a pack of cigarettes or a
soft drink.
The parents described their son
as “slow to learn,”,saying he had
not been able to grasp his school
work since the third grade,
though he had been passed on up
to the seventh grade at Highfalls
school in orfier to remain with
others of his age. He did not re
turn to school this fall “because
the other children had been teas
ing and guying him about Jes
sup.”
Mrs. W. B. Cole, county weKare
superintendent, said the boy had
been psychologicaUy examined
and the report had showed “no
real problems” other than below-
average ability to learn.
The State had no direct evi
dence of the aUeged unnatural
acts other than that of the yoxmg
boy.
■rhe defendant presented a sub
stantial group of character wit
nesses in his behalf, including
Graham Purvis, J. W. Lambert,
Rev. James A. Price, Gurney Wil
son and School Principal Edison
Powers, of the Highfalls com
munity, and Monroe Way of C2U--
thage. The jury deliberated only
about 30 minutes before returning
the “not guilty” verdict.
