BREAKING INTO HOMES
Mrs. Richard Roo, sevonlom
years of ago, was alone in lu*r
home botwccMi 8 and 8:30 P.M.,
dark, on the niglU of Jan-
trary 31, lOfiT. A window in her
home was clasod, but not taston-
ud. It was hold in place by its
wn weight. John Doe, whom the
^ung wile know, raised the
window, and soliritcfl sc'xual in
tercourse. The wife ridu.ved.
A struggle ri‘.sulted. He was not
successful in his attempted ef
forts of rape. She broke away
from him and ran outside* of the
llpus<*. She got into her automo
bile, locked the doors of the (\ir,
a'hd blew the horn continuously.
Jolin Doe fled. A tu*ighbor, at
tracted by the blowing came to
Mr.s. Rot*’.s re.scue. Had John Uoe
cxjmmitted burglary?
Yes. There was a breaking and
imtcring of tiie dwelling house of
aunother at nightfme with the in
tent of committing a felony
therein.
This was an actual case. The
names of the real partie.s, how
ever, have been substituted. The
jury found tJu» defendant guilty |
of burglary in the first degree,'
without a recommendation of life
imprisonment instead of death. i
. fit* was sentenced to death by in
■ halation of lethal gas.
' On appeal to the Supreme Court
' of North Carolina, the highest
court in November, 1957, found no
I ('rror in the trial.
i In this ca.se there wa.s a suf-
' ficient "breaking” and entering
ot file house of another. If a door
or window is firmly closed, it is
not neoe.s.-*ary Ihtit It be locked,
bolted, or barred.
Where the sa.sh of a window is
down, and there Ls no fastening
above the sash, it i.s nevertheless
a ‘'breaking” if the sa.sh is lifted.
On the oth('r hand, there is no
“hr(*aking” if n window' or a door
is slightly ajar, and the accu.sed
sfmply incr(*asos the size of th(‘j
oiM’ntng and through it enters the |
home. Burglary cannot be commit-
1(*d l)y (*ntering through an open ’
window or door. A leaser crime,
but not the capital offcn.se of bur
glary, Ls cYimmitted.
