‘ Although there was a slight
confliction in the testimony of
several witnesses, it was of a
minor nature, and did not ap

sufficient magnitude to prove
that Cannady did not use ex

Russia has an uncanny knack
for timing her non-agipression
pacts so that they will do tfie
small country no good.
As the Anti-Crime campaign,
which is being conducted by the
Carolina Times enters into its
second week, interest is being
manifested in many quarters. ^
The public response to this
campaign hfis been surprising
as hundreds of letters of com
mendation from outstanding
citizens of the city, county and
state have been received.
Among them are letters from
the Mayor, the City Manager,
the Secretary of the Oiamber df
Commerce, the Director of Pub
lic Safety, the County Manager
and various merchants of the
city.
The officials of Radio. Sta
tion W. D. N. C, „ and The
Herald-Sun newspapers have
pledged their support in this
drive, Anent the campaign - • ...i-
The Sun in its Friday, April m freei^ the csom-

In the furtherance of this
campaign, Th|e Orolina Times
will seek the support of the law
enforcing officers of thejjity of
Durham, Durham County, The
State- Bureau of Investigations,

city’s hiifh crimfe riate, to make

In the blackjacking of Dan

he received a severe gash on
his head and the loss of two
teeth and a part of his jawbone.
Officer Cannady testified how
ever that he only “tapped” Dan
iels wKth his blackjack.
Patrolman Cannady, backed
by several witnesses, most of
whom were drivers of the Strop
Taxi Company, testified that
Daniels drew a knife on him af
ter he had placed him under ar
rest. The policeman also testi
fied that Daniels cursed him
and stated that he was going
to cut him. When asked by

most mediums. Certidnly it Is tus to the campaign, and to
