White entered a plea oi guilty to charges of breaking and entering. John Edward Wilkins, colored, was sentenced to six months on the roads by Judge Harris upon his plea of guilty of carrying a concealed wea pon. The revolver which officers found on his person at the time of his arrest was ordered confiscated. The road sentence was to be suspend ed upon condition that the defendant pay a fine of SSO and the cost of court. Johnnie White, white, resident of Bertie County, scheduled to appear at this term of court on charges of se duction, was released after he enter ed into an agreement with the State’s witness to pay her S4OO and court costs. This agreement was agreeable with the court and with the parent of the State’s witness. Clifton Bond, 26, Frank Bond, 20, and Willis Bond, 16, were charged with stealing about 300 pounds of meat from Jim Davenport. The two elder ones plead guilty, but Willis i c suffering from a broken leg and was unable to be in court, and Judge Har ris withheld sentence.

He was captured in Camden County, and while in the Elizabeth City police headquarters signed a confession to the crime. At the conclusion of evi dence he entered a plea of second de gree murder, which was agreeable to the court and he was subsequently sentenced to from 25 to 30 years in Central Prison. Following the Rawls trial, the case of Joseph Costen was taken up. ./my ExPEftlENCeTji V™ A ufT ■ SHOWS THAT CAMELS J||L W WITH A CAMEL are so mild vmsm ftfelfc/T too. camels ■ THEY PONT AFFECT MSF WfMi \ EASE TH£ MY WIND AND WProsjt CHUM * .SF /JHI STRAIN, I ENDURANCE.

C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1985 Drunks Hailed Before Justices Os The Peace Five defendants faced Justices of the Peace W. S. Summerell and F. W. Hobbs over the week-end on charges of being drunk on the streets of Edenton. Matthew Costen “Snowbird,” was taxed with costs of court or 15 days in jail, he being forced to accept the latter. George Foxwell was given 30 days, suspended on payment of costs. Bob Phillips was taxed $3 and costs. Kenneth Bazemore received a fine of $2 and costs. William Peer also was taxed $2 and costs. Costen, an 18-year-old Negro, was charged with assault on Robert Brown, also colored, with a baseball bat on July 4th in the Yeopim sec tion. The affair occurred at a base ball game when Brown removed Costen from the game. Both State and defense witnesses were heard af ter which court adjourned rfor the day. Costen was found guilty Wednes day morning of assault with intent to kill and sentenced to 12 months in jail, to be assigned to work on the county roads. - The Big Day Despite Judge Harris’ request at the close of court Tuesday that the spectators refrain from “coming to see me tomorrow,” the court house was packed around 9 o’clock Wednes day morning to hear the first degree murder trial of John Home. Sheriff J. A. Bunch, however, cleared the room, reserving the seats for 7£ veniremen from Gates County from which a jury was to be selected V decide the fate of Home, as well as for witnesses in the case. Spectators were not allowed to crowd into the aisles as on the previous days o: court, thus many were very much disappointed at not being able t< hear the case. Many crowded or the court house steps, and sidewalk and groups passed away the time or. the green. Home, who has been taken back and forth from the Elizabeth City jail, was given a preliminary hearing before Justice of the Peace W. S Summerell Monday morning just pre ceding the convening of Superior Court, and was bound over without bail. The grand jury returned a true bill and the murder case got under way Wednesday morning. Home entered a plea of riot guilty and W. D. Pruden was selected by the State to defend him. Immediately after the sentencing of Costen Wednesday morning the task of selecting of a jury was be gun. Many of the Gates County veniremen were examined and the selection of a jury was completed at noon. There was no time lost in taking testimony, all witnesses being heard by 4:30, when court was adjourned and arguments for both sides were scheduled for Thursday morning at 9:30 o’clock. «?. 0 I COTTON GINNER [ |T~ iimminiinninnunmmntmmummminimumniunfn v-: :■;:>&< oSgSra-. % . it. ■M- '■ ■ / Kf§|l||P-' M HL ||| HI B.
