Olie W. Olson, 22-year-old Fort |
Bragg Army deserter, received a; -
prison sentence of two to four'
years, and suspended sentence of I
three to five years more Monday
in Moore County Superior Court.
Olson pleaded guilty to four i
counts of check forgery and coun- j
terfeiting. Judge Robert M. Gam- |
bill, presiding, gave him the ac- [
tive sentence for counterfeiting |
a check for $525 on the First Cit
izens Bank of Fort Bragg, forg
ing to it the name of another sol
dier and using it to start a check
ing and savings account at the
Southern National Bank of
Southern Pines April 2. j
The three other counts, which
were consolidated for judgment,
were for passing fictitious checks
in his “checking account at busi
ness places in Aberdeen and i
Southern Pines.
Olson’s father, a Pittsbuxrgh,
Pa., foreman mechanic, was pres- |
ent and Judge Gambill suspended j
the second prison sentence on j
learning that the father had paid
out the bad checks so that no one |
lost any moneji by his son’s illegal
dealings. ,
The checks ranged from about
$80 to more than $100, and were
used in payment for merchandise,
securing the change in cash. ^
The State used as its only wit
ness Deputy Sheriff J. A. Law
rence, who summed up the cases
against Olson, addi.ig that he was
wanted also in Lee county on sim
ilar charges, and by Fort Bragg
for being AWOL since February
9-
On March 11, Olson married a
West End girl, the deputy said.
Lawrence introduced as exhib
its a number of checkbooks on
various banks of the area, also
some false checks all made out
and signed ready for “passing” all
found in Olson’s car when he was
apprehended at West End the
night of April 4. Another item
found in the car was a sandbag
made out of a black sock.
Judge Gambill asked Olson
about the sandbag, reeciving the
reply from the good-looking,
black-haired young defendant:
‘Well, most everybody carries

AT 2 STATIONS
Boys Taken Into
Custody in West
End Robberies
The robbery of two service
stations was discovered early Sun
day morning when volunteer fire
fighters, who had just brought a
house fire under control, went to
one of the stations to get some
soft drinks.
W T. Lewis, member of the
West End volunteer fire depart
ment, opened his Shell station
about 5 a.m. to find two young
Negro boys in the act of robbing
the place. He held the older one,
aged 19. while Sheriff W. B.
Kelly was summoned, but the
younger, aged 13 got away. He
was later turned over to “the
law” by his mother.
About $15 in change—quarters,
nickles and pennies in separate
rolls—also a pocketwatch and
steak knife were found on the
older boy. A search of the younger
boy when taken in hand later
brought $4.30 in change to light,
along with another watch.
Sheriff Kelly said it was later
found that Roger Martin’s Shell
station, about a block from
Lewis’s, had also been entered
and robbed. Change from the
cash register, watches and other
items were missing at both places.
Both juveniles were already on
probation for breaking and enter-
ing .
The boys were to have a hear
ing today before Clerk of Court
C. C. Kennedy, juvenile court
judge, at Carthage.

PATTON
(Continued from page 1)
38 - 36 - 74 for the 7,000-yard,
a 33-36-69 card and Manley was
par 72 No. 2 course of the Coun
try Club over which the National
Amateur will be played in Sep
tember.
After the luncheon break, Pat
ton pushed his lead to eight up
through the six afternoon holes
before dropping a couple. But he
won the 29th with a par and a
half in pars on the 30th ended
the match.
Patton was even par in the af
ternoon, making, him three under
for 30 holes played in sticky, 80-
degree temperature over a course
made increasingly difficult by pin
placements that bordered on the
cruel in some instances.
Sharp Iron Play
Patton, paid, tribtlle ,tp, ,hjsJtco.q
play, which becam.e sharper each
day. “It was a good feeling to see
them on target and stay there all
day, they got the job done,” he
noted while walking back to the
club house from the 12th green.
He took the lead by winning
the second and third morning
holes with pars and never was
headed.
The former Walker Cup player,
remembered by golf galleryites
as the amateur who finished one
stroke behind Sam Snead and
Ben Hogan when they deadlock
ed for first place in the Master’s
tournament eight years ago, miss
ed only four of 30 greens Satur
day and only twice put the ball in
a trap.
'Trick Shots'
Three times in the morning
round he pulled off “trick shots”
that rank with some of the most
exciting of his storied career. His
driver got him in trouble on the
fourth, seventh and 11th holes,
but he wiggled out with breath
taking skill.
On the 528-yard fourth hole, he
hooked his tee shot onto a sandy
path that divides woods between
the fourth and fifth fairways. He
had to take his stance a foot
above the ball and hit it up the
road, fading it over pine trees on
to the fairway. Then he pitched
about 100 yards across a bunker
six feet from his hole for an
amazing birdie four that earned
him a half.
On the seventh hole, a dogleg
394-yarder, his drive landed close
to the trees, in high grass, but he
banged it out onto the green, 35
feet from the hole and ran in the
winning birdie putt.
In the Woods
On No, 11, a difficult 433-yard-
er, his drive again found the
woods. He whistled it out toward
the green but it caught the cor
ner of a tiny trap guarding the
carpet. His explosion flew 14 feet
past the pin but he got his par
and another half.
These heroics balanced three
ho’os, 13, 17 and 18 on which he
missed putts of three to four feet
that would have given him two
winners and a half.
Against Patton’s brand of golf,
Manley had little chance. His last
gasp effort produced birdies on
the eighth and ninth holes in the
afternoon that cut the lead to six
holes before Patton again took
charge.
For the week Patton was five
under p£ir for 135 holes, eight
rounds in six days.
