Pinehurst, N. C.
Eight defendants from Moore
and neighboring counties were
convicted at Carthage Monday in
Moore County Recorder’s Court
of gambling, with two additional
ly convicted of possession of gamJ
bing equipment and operating a
gamblir^g establishment.
All were netted in a raid on a
rented house in the Parkwood
section between Carthage and
Highfalls, Friday night, March 9,
by th.3 sheriff’s department, as
sisted by ABC officers and state
troopers.
Chief Deputy H. H. Grirnm,
testifying for the State, identified
Bill Maness, 26, of Robbins, and
Joe Maness, 39, of Asheboro, as
actual operators of tbs place, with
Bill Maness having rented the
house.
Grimm said he didn’t know
how long the place had been in
operation but “we had had com
plaints about it for the past three
months.”
Several dozen decks of cards,
som>9 opened, others still in seal
ed packets, were taken as evi
dence and piled on a table in
court.
When the raiding party enter
ed, said Grimm, “there was an
exchange of money between Joe
Maness and Roscoe Wall (Wil
liam R. Wlall, 24, of Liberty) so
we don’t know how much each of
them had before we came in.” All
were searched, and $81.50 was
found on Jbe Maness, $549 on
Wall.
Leon Kennedy, 21, of Robbins
had no money on him, while Bill
Maness had only 83 cents. The
others were carrying fulfils as fol
lows: Roger W. Phillips, 24, of
Sanford, $57.08; Tillet Lee Man
ess, 24, Carthage, $108; Ben
Brady, 24, Robbins, $123.03, and
Carroll Chalfinch, 24, of Robbins,
who Grimm said “had just come
in and only just sat in on the
game,” $70.20.
Only $26.50 was found on the
gaming table, and Judge J. Vance
Rowe ordered this confiscated
and turned over to the county
treasury, while the money found
,on the defendants’ persons was to
be returned to them. The decks
of cards he ordered destroyed,
but other items seized—quanti
ties of soft drinks, paper cups and
cigarettes—were to be returned
to tbsir owners.
Judge Rowe ascertained that
there was no evidence of alco
holic beverage about the place,
that the defendants were all men
with jobs and with the respect of
their fellows. Only one, Joe Man
ess, was known to have “a trace
of a police record” and this was
in another count, Grimm said. He
characterized the whole operation
as “small time.”
Defense Attorney H. F. Sea-
well, noting that there is “a touch
of the gambling, spirit in every
body,” called it “sort of a country
club yithout a golf course.”
“These men gambled with
cards,” he said, “but somebody
else might gamble by buying a
ticket on a car to be raffled' off
for a worthy community cause.”
All the defendants pleaded not
guilty except Ben Brady, who
pleaded nolo contendere. Joe and
Bill Maness drew 90-day sen
tences suspended for two years
on payment of a joint fine of $100
and costs^ and were ordered not
to engage in gambling nor in
operating a gambling house in
Moore County during the period
of suspension. For the others,
prayer for judgment was contin
ued on payment of $10 and one-
sixth of the costs each.

Youths Plead Guilty
Four youths apprehendecJ by
officers in Wake County last
week, when they tried to sell a
battery which they admitted
having stolen along with sfour
cans of oil, from an Esso station

sentenced to 60 days each in jail.
For the four—John Neilson, 22,

The Knights took an early lead
and led the rest of the game. Off
to a good start, they led 21-14
at the end of the first quarter.
In the last few minutes of the
second quarter the Warriors drew
within one point of the Knights
lead, the closest Clarkton came
to overcoming the local boys. At
the end of the first half. South
ern Pines was leading 27-26.
In the second half tbe Warriors
offered several threats bqt each
time the Knights successfully
held them down. In the fourth
quarter, the Knights had a 12-
point lead at one time but it was
cut down in the last few minutes
by the Warriors in their final ef
fort.
Last year at Robbins, Clarkton
defeated Southern Pines in an
overtime, in the ’District finals.

Saturday with 17 points. Eddie
McKenzie followed with 16, Har
old Williford 13, Dick Seymour
3, and Johnny Bristow 7.

Hall with 13 points were the
leading scorers for Clarkton.
Friday Game
Friday night, in the semi-finals,
the Knights defeated the Orrum
Raiders 74-56 in no doubt the
finest game the Knights have
played thus far in the season, hit
ting 70 per cent of their shots
from the floor. The Knights led

Eddie McKenzie led the
Knights with 20 points, followed

ing scorer with 13, Harold Willi
ford 11, Johnny Bristow 10, Dick
Seymour 5, and Wally Wallace 3

to lead the Bulldogs.
Southern Pines gave one of its
finest p.3rformances. against the
Orrum boys, since going into a
mid-season slump. --‘i
In each game in the tourna
ment the Knights proved to be
excellent ball handlers and good
shots from the outside. Williford
and Seymour once again proved
their ability to rebouhd; and Wal
lace, McKenzie and Bristow con
tinued to work well together in
the backcourt.
AMONG LOWEST
In North Carolina, public wel
fare payments to those eligible
under law to receive aid, are
'among the lowest in the nation.
County departments of public
welfare continually seek to help
recipients budget their small
grants wisely and to help them
become self-supporting citizens.
For fur'ther information call or

Moore County Director of Public
Welfare, at Whitney 7-2436.
