COMMUNITY CHESr KICK-OFF HELD Judge Stevens Scores Check Loan Racket A vicious and notorious check and money loan racket, carried on for years among illiterate and poverty stricken Negroes by W. E. LipBcomb, Durham busiaess man, was uueovered here this week in Durham Coun ty Superior Court, presided over by J udge Henry L. Stevena, when worthless cheek charges brought against several Negroes by Lipscomb ^vere nol prossed. Disclosure of the “racket” grew out of worthless check chaxges originally brought in Durham County Recorder’s Court by Lipscomb against the Negroes and appealed to Super ior Court. Judge Stevens warned Lips comb that if he did not take nol prosses in the cases he himself would be prosecuted. Judge Stevens termed Lipscomb’s methods of filching money out of his victims by loaning them money on worthless checks as a “■jacket.” He stated such meth od would not be tolerated. He warned Lipscomb that he could instruct Solictor W. H. Murdock to issue bills of indict ment, charging Lipscomb with aiding and abetting in tlie is suing of worthless checks. * Judge Stevens ordered direct ed verdicts of acquittal in three worthless check charges against James Newton, two against James MQlntosh and one against Miss Eli Florence and Douglasj Harris. Nol pros with leave was taken in other similar cases against rUliam J. Thompson and Alex Willis. In tHu'OMe ?f Newton it wa« (Usclosed that 'ivipscomb en dorsed a note for him for $110. 00 at the bank, but gave him on ly $75.00 of the money and that Lipscomb got $5.00 of the $75.- 00. He stated that he was re quired to sign three separate checks for various sums and that when he became delinquent Lipscomb had him arrested un der a worthless check charge. The CAROLINA TIMES al so uncovered this week another case in which one 68-year-old Negro served a term of 30 da^f on the road on account of an alleged worthless check charge brought against him by Lips comb in a case similar to those aired in Superior Court this week.
