Young Scruggs, veteran of World War 2, was charged with robbing a man he had given a lift on his truck coming out of Spartanburg to Polk County. The plaintiff al leged that he was forced to give the defendant a sum of money, and after that Scruggs drove on and left him stranded. The defendant Scruggs, said that ihe was only having “fun” with the man. In passing sentence of 2 to 3 \vears in Central Prison, Raleigh, Judge J. Will Pless said, “This case could well be made a federal charge of kidnaping, with a sen tence of life imprisonment; but as the plaintiff was unharmed in the act, and no other charges save that of robbery, it is the verdict of this court, that such ‘fun’, as the defendant contends, should be a lesson to all who give persons a lift. No man who has fought for the principles of liberty and jus tice, should come back and commit such an unlawful act. I hereby sentence Miller Scruggs to hard Jabor for 2 to 3 years, and maybe that will take awav the desire for such unlawfulness.” Other cases disposed of by the court were the following: Prank Gilliam, Hendersonville; transporting illegal whiskey; $150 and costs, 2 years suspended sen tence. good behaviour for 5 years, drivers license revoked for 5 years. . .^..Continued on Back Page
