Vance Rowe, Moore County Recorders Court: judge, ruled that Henry Robin-! son, recent defendant, in a bizzare note-writing assault case, should' be returned to court by capias; and serve a sentence given him in j a previous case. It all came about when Judge l Frank Armstrong suspended a six-; months sentence imposed on him, j here last week, in Supcror Court,! in a strange case of assault, in j which he was found guilty of; the crime of dropping a note at; the feet of a young white girl, j Louise Phillips, in wduch he set i forth that he wanted her to meet; him at a specified place. The case drew much attention! and was hotly contested Herbert! One Dead, One Wounded One Jailed, in Love Row 1 FAYETTEVILLE A young | housewife was fattally wounded; with a .22 calibre rifle Sunday near her home in the Washington Park area here following an ar gument with a neighbor, accord ing to police reports.

Police said ' killing was Ella Mae Carmichael l !'nt: Moore woman was advancing! on Ella Mae. with a knife when; she pulled ihe trigger. The dead woman’s husband,; Henry Moore had been cut about; the back, sides and arms minutes | be tore the fatal shooting. A triangular situation enters the i picture as reports have it that j Mrs. Moore did the cutting after j accusing Moore of having an of-; fail with the Carmichael woman, j the sheriffs office reported, Moore, who was receiving at- j tention at the hospital for his wounds, happened to glance in j the direction of hia home and saw i i of the church which is now in the j process of erecting a building,! j having used a small residential! ! structure for worship for several j I years. Because of this, the Faith! | * hurch accepted the preferred use | of the Mt, Pisgah Presbyterian; ! church for the one-day session,) 1 following which Elder Bailey and lists from all sections of the | \fate converged on Raleigh for j this momentous occasion. 0» the | left is seen a portion of the j huge crowd that attended the ; YWCA.

Sewall, stormy political figure of the Eisenhower Administration, tried to have the case dismissed, first, due to the fact that the ori ginal note was not presented in evidence and secondly because there was not sufficient evidence to support an assault case. It was believed to be the first time in the annals of legal history that a man was tried for assault with a pencil. North Carolina gained much publicity when Max Ingram was sentenced for assault with his eyes, on a white girl, in Caswell County. This case was fought through many torrid hours, with Ingram finally saved from the county road. The assault by pencil case was thought to be even more strange than the "leering’’ case and when defense attorney and Judge Arm strong finally settled on a suspend the stretcher containing the body of his wife as she was being taken to the Funeral Parlor. When arrested, the Carmichael woman had a knife in her posses sion. Sheriff L. L. Guy said the rifle was found hidden in a loft. No definite trial date has been set.

Robinson is being called back to court for the alleged violation of a sentence imposed on him on August 15, 1951. The sentence was imposed on conviction of assault with a dangerous weapon, in Re-, corders Court, and suspended on conditions of good behavior for two years. Recorder Rowe holds that since the note throwing sen tence was handed out on An .u -t 15, 1953 that the probationary time was not up and therefore he should serve the 1951 sentence. Veteran court experts forecast a legal battle. This is based on | the fact that Judge Armstrong if said to have related that the su spended sentence should not hold' against Robinson. Rowe has aL j ready announced his disfavor . to! Judge Armstrong’s opinion, and I though Judge Armstrong’s court ■ is a higher court has said that i Armstrong could not supercede hit, court. Legal battle line are drawing! tigher. The capias was issued Mon- j day, due to the fact that Robinsonj did not appear in court. Solicitor; W. Larnont Brown said that he had expected to see Robinson in court, due to the fact that he had the capias served on him, immedi ately after he was released, on the note-throwing charge, last week, larnont, however, told the j Recorder that Judge Armstrong did not want the sentence to carry through on Robinson.
