Carriaa the Data Whan Your Subscription Expiree VOLUME XXXV—NUMBER 33 JUDGE FRIZZELL STRESSES VALUE OF JURY SERVICE Grand Jury Is Main Agency for Assuring Life and Property Protection In his address to the Martin Coun ty grand jury this week, Judge Paul Frizzell explained the workings of court procedure and pointed out the •importance found in that part of the machine functioning and known as the gfanjd jury. The jurist offered no comments in connection with crimes or any particular crime, but h« stressed the importance of the grand jury as the main agency for assuring life and limb of all people protection. "The welfare of the county at large is committed to the care of the grand jury, and no other agency is as in strumental in preserving peace and order than is that body," he declared. And in that connection, Judge Friz zell strongly pointed out that it was incumbent upon a county's citizenship to serve upon the petit and grand juries when called upon to do so. "Every true, intelligent, and upright citizen should not attempt to escape jury duty when called to serve," he said. The judge pointed out that in a recent court over which he presided not one citizen called to serve as a member of the jury attempted to es cape the duty, but in others, he said, nearly all those called to serve wanted to be excused. While the judge said he had not had the time to investigate crime conditions in those districts where citizens shirked the duty of serv ing as members of the jury, he did say that in those courts where the citi zens are willing to serve the machinery of the court functions to a greater ad vantage in assuring peace and justice. That part of the judge's charge is probably a bit too late, as far as this county is concerned, as only one jury man asked to be excused, and there were several, say probably a dozen, waiting to take his place. I n its operations the grand jury should not excuse a defendant because of his wealth or social standing, and the jury should not permit malice or hatred to influence a decision unless the testimony warrants the action. He urged the J8 members of the all-im portant court body to go about their work in an honest and sincere way. He pointed out to them that it was not their duty to pass upon the Kuilt or innocence of a defendant, but that it was their duty to examine the wit nesses in the case and see if there is pnft>able cause of guilt. After the wit nesses are examined, a vote should be taken, and if as many as 12 think there i* probable cause of guilt, a "true bill" should be returned. If true hills are found in any capital crime. murder, ar son, burglary, or rape, the jury, or a majority of the body, should return the bill to the court in person, the judge instructed the jurymen. The duty of each member of the grand jury to report any crime known to him was referred to as an important one, the judge explaining that the body represented all parts of the coun ty and that its members were in a better position to know conditions than are the officers. Even though this duty has been called to the attention of jurymen on many occasions, very few crimes have been reported through that channel, it is generally admitted | in this county. And then Judge Frizzell told the members of the jury that they had the power to summon additional witnesses! in those cases where it was possible to gain additional information. This is seldom exercised, the jury generally closing its investigation up on completing the examination of those witnesses summoned by the court.- - « The importance of secrecy in han dling the deliberations was mentioned | by the jurist, who explained that every, member of the body should feel free to discuss the cases before them with-j out fear of personal injury as a result of any such discussion. He also said it was unlawful for one to question member of that jury, that such action might result in a miscarriage of jus- V- To Present Play at Everetts Friday Night of This Week 9 ' ■ ■ I "Finger Prints," a short play, will be presented by the students of the Parmele school in the Everetfs school auditorium Friday night June 24th. j The proceeds will be given to the Indies' Aid society of the Parmele Methodist church and to those of the Ch istian nnd Baptst churches of Ev erett'!, it was stated.

The taxes, much of which will be absorbed by the merchants and manu facturers, have hardly had time to make themselves felt, and methods of handling them are not generally known. But just wait until the end of the month when one sees a 2-cent tax on every check he has drawn. And then wait until July 6 when every first class letter must carry a 3-cent stamp [ instead of a 2-cent one. Gasoline prices were 'advanced one cent a gal lon this morning at all filling statons, that amount gong to the federal gov ernment, and which the consumer is to pay every time he buys a gallon of the fluid. _ * Checks written yesterday will not escape the tax unless they were pre sented for payment before the day. The law says the tax will be collected i when the check is presented for pay-! ment, and in that case some checks 1 written days ago might be affected. | And it is no use to put in a supply of envelopes bearing a two-cent stamp, for if one does he wll have to add a: one-cent stamp Jo It j _ WiHiamston, Martin County, * North 1932 |6 YEAR OLD BOY ACCIDENTALLY KILLS BROTHER Son of Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Warren, Has Head Torn Off by Gun Shot - » - James Earl, 6-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Warren, of Goose Nest Township, was killed instantly last week when his brother, Leon, 6 years old, blew off the top of the in fant's head with a shot gun. The baby was sleeping in his cradle, and after the shot was heard and before other members of the family could run to the room, the child's brains and parts of its tender head had fallen to the floor. Hardly old enough to realize what had happened the 0-year-old boy was unable to explain the shooting, but it is believed the gun fired when the boy accidentally knocked it against the baby's cradle. The night before Mr. Warren heard some one prowling a | round his home. He removed the gunj j from its rack and looked out a window, I but failed to see any one. After plac-| i ing the gun back in its rack, he heard 1 I the noise again, and a second time he' removed the gun from the rack and in- I . I ; vestigated the noise, Making ready' I for a quick investigation a third time, J the man placed the gun beside his bed j and dropped off to sleep. Next morn- 1 .ing he forgot the gun, and the little I boy found it. No inquest was held, officers point-, ing out that the facts in the case| clearly indicated the shooting was acci dental. { Funeral services were held the fol lowing afternoon and interment was in the Williams burial ground in Goose Nest Township, near the Halifax County line. FIREMEN SELL SHOWTICKETS Joe E. Brown in "Fireman, Save My Child," Benefit j Of Local Department In an effort to- create a relief fund, local volunteer firemen and their rep resentatives will start selling tickets tomorrow to the talking comedy, "Fireman, Save My Child," with Joe E. Brown, at the Watts Theatre on Thursday and Friday nights of this week. The theatre management has j willingly agreed to share equally all j funds raised with the fire department,' and tickets will be sold at regular mission prices. The fire company, in regular meeting last night, offered its advance appreciation of any styiportj accorded it in the effort to create a relief fitnd, but the members pointed out that it was not the purpose of j the arrangement to force tickets on, the public. While the company with its present chief and personnel has offered a ready and willing service, answer-, ing more than 200 calls during the past two or three years, it ha* made few appeals for aid from the public,) as a whole. Real often, members of j the company suffer damage to their j clothes and sometimes injury to their ( person. It is to care for sjjch losses j and to offset medical bills that the re lief fund is created. 1 The picture, strictly a comedy, is good for many laughs, and according to report*, it will provide you with real entertainment'for more than one hour.

MAKE ARRESTS IN CONNECTION WITH CAMP FIRE John E. Wells and Leland Roberson Charged with Firing Ray's Camp • John Emmett Wells and Leland Roberson, white men of Williams Township, were formally charged in a warrant issued last week with burning several buildings at Ray's cap, on Gardner's Creek, near Jamesville, last July. The defendants denied the j charge at a hearing held by Justice of ( the lVace J. L. Hassell here last Sat urday, but when probable cause was the justice bound the two men over to the superior court under a SSOO bond each. While the evidence was described as circumstantial, it was considered suf ficient to hold the defendants under bond until the grand jury could ex amine witnesses in the case. It was stated at the preliminary hearing that Wells and Roberson had said they , were going to 'burn old man Ray out." During the past several years, Mr. j Jeff Ray, owner of the camp, has add ed slowly" to the fishing post until he | had suitable quarters and arrangements I for fishing parties and campers. Dur ing the latter part of July while the keeper was in Jamesville one of the buildings was fired. Just a few days I later a second building was fired about the same time of day and while the keeper was at Jamesville. Several in-1 vestigations have been made since that time by insurance authorities, and evi dence gathered during the past few days was considered sufficient to issue warrants upon for the arrest of Wells and Roberson.

Borah, a recognized leader in national poli tics kicked the bucket yesterday when he spoke in the Senate and announced that he would not sup- Port the re-election of Herbert Hoover on the platform adopted by the Republican National Con vention in Chicago last week.
