Alton Lane Bullard Jr., freshman
from Winston-Salem who was ar
rested about three weeks ago,
waived preliminary hearing last week
and was bound over to the criminal
term of Madison County Superior
Court, which is to begin Nov. 30.
He was then released on a $2,000
property bond signed by his aunt,
Miss Edith Swann, assistant business
manager of the college.
Lane was arrested by Madison
County Sheriff J. D. Brown follow
ing a break-in at the college book
store and Student Center on the
weekend of Oct. 3-4.
Operating under a search warrant,
the sheriff entered the dormitory
room (Myers 111) of Lane and his
brother Robert. Finding some mer
chandise which had been reported
missing from the Student Center,
the sheriff picked up both boys for
questioning. Robert, a junior, was
released without charge after being
questioned; Lane was charged with
breaking and entering and larceny.
Similar charges related to a break-in
at Mars Hill Pharmacy several weeks
ago also were filed against Lane.
Originally, bond was set at $5,000
and Lane remained in the Madison
County jail at Marshall. At the time
for the preliminary hearing he waived
his right to the hearing and his
trial was docketed for the next term
of criminal court. Bond was reduced
to $2,000 at that time, and he was
freed and, reportedly, left for Wins
ton-Salem.
The college is being represented
in the case by Attorney Joseph B.
Huff of Mars Hill.
President Bentley, who had been
subpoenaed to appear for the pre
liminary hearing, Issued the follow
ing statement after the trial date
was set and Lane was released on
bond:
“On Monday, Oct. 5, I found it
necessary to have arrested and to
place charges against a Mars Hill
student, Alton Lane Bullard Jr. The
charges were breaking and entering
with intent to commit a larceny, as
it related to a theft In our campus
bookstore on the weekend prior to
the arrest.
“At the beginning of the school
year in the President’s Convocation,
I indicated that the student court
would handle those matters which
were concerned with general cam
pus regulations, but that in the in
stance of civil disobedience or the
violation of civil law, such case
would be turned over to civil authori
ties and treated by the courts. There
fore, even though I find it very re
grettable to place charges against
Lane Bullard, I feel that this is quite
consistent with my presentation at
the convocation. It also demonstra
tes the precedence for future action.
“I deeply regret that it is neces
sary for'the college to take action
against any student, but I assure you
that I will be working with the courts
to try to find a constructive solution
to a very difficult situation.”
Newberry College. During the half

other addition to the Homecoming
