SEPTEMBER 17, 1958. f Wesley E. Halsey Gets Life Sentence » r j (Continued from Page One) , Jury, Judge Morris said there is a ' minority who favor abolishment of t the Grand Jury systerfi. However, he said, it has been in existence since . the time of independence. ' He pointed out the efficiency and fairness of Jury system ’ even it was written unto the organic law by those who framed the consti tution. “Some people,” said the judge, ; “think the task of serving on the Grand Jury should not fall on them, but the vast majority who have the mental capacity and moral integrity are willing to sacrifice their time and effort to perform this highly impor tant public service. To be called as a juror a man is singled out as one of integrity and desirous of fair ad ministration of justice.” The judge reminded the Grand Jury members of the fact that until court convened each one was an ordinary citizen and no one knew who would be called for duty. “The law is so zealous”, he said “for fairness and , justice to be administered that the making of the jury was not known be forehand. You are now a member of a grand inquest to administer justice and one of the most important body of men.” To this Judge Morris reminded them of importance and solemnity of the oath, urging each one to look upon his duty seriously, and especially stressing secrecy on the part of all 1 members. In defining the various duties of the Grand Jury Judge Morris took oc- ! casion to compliment Jailer Herman ■ White for the care of prisoners and the general condition of the jail. He ’ ‘■aid he had heard about Mr. White’s 1 efficiency before arriving in Edenton. 1 The remainder of the charge was 1 devoted to an explanation of return- ‘ ing true bills of indictment, and in- 1 structions relative to inspecting coun- 1 ty offices, the county jail, county 1 home and school buses. When the Grand Jury began return ing true bills a number of cases were 1 continued. Among these were Mrs. 1 Lillie Ward, charged with abortion 1 and first degree murder in connection ! with the death of Mrs. Joyce Richard- 1 son. The postponement was based on : an affidavit by Dr. L. P. Williams, presented by John W. Graham, to the < effect that Mrs. Ward’s health at ' present is in a precarious condition, i A companion case, James Richardson, husband of the dead woman, was, of i course, also continued. < Other cases continued were: Joe < Nathan Manley, who faces three i I charges of manslaughter in connec- 1 tion with the death of three people in an automobile wreck on the Albemarle Sound bridge on Easter Monday. Judge Morris continued this case sole ly on the physical inability of John F. White to try the 'case at this ’ court. Judge Morris stated that a trial will be held at the next term of court and instructed Mr. White to employ assistant counsel if his health is not improved. Trial of James Ed ward Toler for reckless and careless driving was postponed for the same reason. H. Kemp Holmes failed to appear to answer to charges of operating a motor vehicle while under the influ ence of intoxicants, and a capias was ordered issued for his arrest. Walter Wilder, charged with as sault with a deadly weapon, entered | a plea of not guilty, but at the con-j elusion he changed his plea to guilty. He was sentenced to six months in jail, suspended upon condition that he be of good behavior, violates no law, abstains from use of intoxicating liq uor, remains gainfully employed and pays a $75 fine and costs of court. Robert Louis Smith and Jackie Ray Pigg, entered a plea of guilty of stealing an automobile. Smith was sentenced to 12 months in jail. Pigg was sentenced to two years in state prison, suspended upon condition that he be returned to the home of his parents in New Madrid, Mo., and that he remains of good behavior and vio lates no law and not return to North Carolina for a period of five years. He was also ordered held to answer charges pending against him in Pas quotank County. Nathan Madre entered a plea of guilty to assault with a deadly weapon and was sentenced to six months in jail. E. Clayton Downing and Howard ! Jordan pleaded guilty to breaking and 1 entering and larceny. Downing was sentenced to three years in State 1 prison, suspended upon being placed 1 on probation and paying T. W. Jones 1 $51.70 and costs of court. Jordan re ceived a similar sentence except pay ing T. W. Jones $82.36. Aldovia A. Cusano and Richard A. Furia, on a charge of breaking and 1 entering and larceny, were sentenced 1 to 18 months on the roads, suspended 1 upon condition that they remain in good behavior and make restitution to ! E. A. Goodman in the sum of $5 each ■ and $75 fine and pay costs of court. , A divorce was granted to Estelle Chappell Sawyer from Harold Sawyer upon the grounds of two years’ sepa ration. Lieut.-Comdr. Karl Erick Johans son, who appealed a sentence in Re corder’s Court for driving while un der the influence of intoxicating liq uor, was found guilty. He was sen tenced to 90 days in jail, suspended i upon payment of $l5O fine and costs ) of court. George Amos Johnson pleaded guil ty to a charge of possession of non t tax-paid whiskey. He was sentenced i j to'six months after the expiration of i an 18 month sentence in Recorder’s 1 Court for violating terms of a sus > pended sentence. i The trial of Herman Webb for pos • session and transporting non-tax-paid i liquor was continued until the next i term of court.

Nixon: One year ago you left me dad And now we are apart I’ll always share each day with you Because you’re still in my heart. They say time heals all sorrow And helps you to forget Rut time so far has only proved How much I miss you yet. God gave me strength to fight it ' And courage to bear the blow But what it means to lose your dad No one will ever know. I often sit and think of you And then of how you died To think you could not say goodbye Before you closed your eyes. No one knows my longing, no one sees me weak I shed my tears from aching heart 1 While others are fast asleep. j It’s lonesome here without you dad | Sad and weary is the way ■ Life has not been the same to me Since you were called away. To those who have a mom and dad j Go to see them with loving care. You’ll never know how much you miss them Till you see their vacant chair. Please God forgive my silent tears A silent wish that dad was here There are other dads, yes I know But he was my dad and I loved him so. Sadly Missed by His Daughter, Inez N. Gosser.
