Grand Jury Report Praises Operation
Of Samarcand Manor School for Girls
The report of the grand jury at
the current term of Moore County
Superior Court in Carthage prais-^
ed operation of Samarcand Manor,
one of the locations inspected by
a group of the jurors.
The report was submitted Tues
day to Judge Frank M. Armstrong
of Troy, who is presiding. Ralph
M. Caldwell of Aberdeen is fore
man.
Judge Armstrong thanked the
grand jury and commended It for
an informative and well-written
report. He referred particularly to
the section about Samarcand
Manor, the State training school
for delinquent girls, saying, ‘‘I am
sure we have a good institution
over there and that they do a
great deal of good.”
The jury was dismissed, to be
called again at the May term of
Superior Court.
The text of the report follows:
‘‘We, the Grand Jury selected
for this term of Criminal Court,
respectfully submit the following
report:
‘‘After examination of witnesses
and in considering their sworn
testimony we examined 20 bills
of indictment and returned true
bill on 17, 3 were continued.
‘‘The Clerk of Court reports all
Justice of the Peace reports.
Guardian and Executors reports
are current and in good order, al
so that County Officials Bonds are
in effect as required by. law.
‘‘Two Committees were appoint
ed to visit the Moore County jail
here in Carthage. The prison camp
and Samarcand Mahor.
“The Jail was clean and sani
tary and the prison camp was as
clean artd in good condition in
spite of the fact that they are now
remodeling and making additions
to the building and the cell block
will be increased from its present
capacity of 75 to 100.
“Supt. Noble was very pleasant
and seemed to take pride in his
job.
“We found that Samarcand
Manor was a credit to the State.
They have 205 girls at the present
time. This is their capacity.
“Miss Mitchell, the Superinten
dent, was very gracious and co
operative and showed us aU over
the place. They have 5 dormitories
all modern of brick construction;
each dormitory has its own mod
ern kitchen and dining hall, all
rooms have a toilet and bath be
tween each two. They have their
own ice plant, laundry and can
nery, their own dairy and seems
to be as near self-supporting as
any institution of this kind could
be.
“Miss Mitchell informed us that
she used the honor system and
had only one girl try to escape
last year. The girls do all the
work on the place and are taught
to do almost everything including
cooking, dress making and all the
chores a woman should know
how to do.
“This report respectfully sub
mitted.”

Local Police to
Take Part in Car
Theft Conference
Police Chief C. E. Newton said
today that the local police depart
ment would be represented at one
of the special conferences on auto
mobile thefts being held this
month in North and South Caro
lina by the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation.
The conferences were announc
ed last week by W. W. Bromwell,
special agent in charge of the
Charlotte FBI office, who said
that 180 such conferences are be
ing held over the nation in the
early part of 1960.
Invited to attend are law en
forcement officers and others
whose work is closely related to
the automobile business. There
will be open forums and panel
discussions, for the exchange of
suggestions, ideas and experi
ences.
Mr. Bromwell said that it is
hoped the conferences will bring
about a better understanding of
cooperative services available
from all those interested in com
batting the auto theft problem.
One of the most important
things learned from similar con
ferences held previously, he said,
is that the car theft problem is
common to aU law enforcement
agencies, whether large or small,
and can best be solved through
cooperative efforts.
