Wells,' principal of the school at the time of the burning, was sentenced along with two other Negro men, Cleveland Rice and Arthur Suber. Suber and Rice took their sentences, but Wells appealed his conviction to the Supreme court and was given a new trial at the August term of Polk county superior court in 1941. He also was convicted at that term of court by a jury drawn from the neighboring coun ty of Rutherford, and the sentence was sustained by the presiding judge. Again Wells appealed to a higher court and again lost his appeal. The sheriff’s department left today with Wells for Raleigh.
