North Carolina counoll of stati;
has' declined a request for the
a^te to pay costs incurred by Lt.
W. B. Lents, of the State High
way Patrol, and Agent Guy Steott,
of the SBI. in their recent trial at
Wllkesboro.
Action of the council of the
state in denying the request,
which was made by T. Boddle
head of the Motor Vehicle
Bureau in charge of the patrol,
and Attorney General Harry Mc-
Mullan, was reported in the
"Under the Dome" column in Fri
day’s News and Observer as fol
lows:
'The Council of State at a re
cent meeting decided to take the
position of ‘‘hands off’ on the pro
posal that the State pa^ the costs
sustained by two State employes
in their trial in Wilkes county.
The Council of State was asked
to approve payment of trial costs
sustained by Lt. W. B. Lentz of
the State Highway Patrol and by
Agent Guy Scott of the State Bu
reau of Investigation. Both I/int*
and Scott were acquitted of
charges of larceny and receiving
of stolen booze and violation of
the prohibition laws. ’The charges
were based on alleged “disappear
ance’’ of a number of cases of
whisky from la large seizure made
In Wilkes. The acquittal was made
hy dlrect verdict of Judge R. Hunt
■t*arker.
’The proposal that trial costs be
paid by the State was made by
heads of the departments under
which the Patrol and SBI are op
erated, on the grounds that law-
enforcement officer should have
the support of the State if he is
going to be subjected to prosecu
tion because he carries out his jo’j
effectively.
The Council of State held that
the mattpr is up to the General
.Assembly, so. it was proposed that
a bill be introduced at the liM'i
session to provide reim’nirsenienr
of the two men.
There is precedent for action
by the General As.semlvly.
The ,1931 General .Assembly ap
propriated i2.600 for reimburse
ment of two SP'te emi'loyes who
bad sustained costs of a trial at
which they were acquitted of
illegal use of food and patients
of the State Hospital for the In
sane at Raleigh. The trial oc
curred in 1929.' Dr. Albert An
derson, at that time superinten
dent of the hosiptal, and James
Adams, who then was farmer for
the institution, each received, tin
der the Assenitbly’s act. $1,300 to
cover trial expenses.

ALL SALES THIS WEEK
WLL COUNT IN
CAMPAIGN
Wilkes county tO|iqp^ Ito
lar^e quota in the ThM Wiur
Loan campaign by a mV
stantial nuu-gin, W. D. HaK-
acre, chairman, said today.
Although an «xaot total
of war bond sales, was not
available today, the totaJ
through Saturday was ap
proximately $1,200,000 and
may be substantially larger
when all reports are in.
The quota for the county was
$1,169,000, which was much
larger than the figures set for
either of the two previous drives
and was In the same bracket with
a number of counties with mneh
greater industrial activity than In
Wilkes.
Mr. Haltacre said that It is
probaible that the Wilkes total
may reach $1,500,000, due to the
fact that sales of all types
throughout this week will count
in the third war loan total.
The national total has now
passed 16 billion dollars and may
reach IS. The national goal was
15 billion.
North Carolina has gone well
over the top in the campaign and
practically all counties in this
immediate section of the state
have reached their quotas.
