Visible in the background here is the elegant new face of the courthouse. Youngster in cowboy hat is Randy"Sturgill, son of Harnett chief deputy B. E. Sturgill. James Parker, 10, is the son of Guy J. Parker. Though outside con struction of the courthouse is now well on its way to completion, more than half the interior is in a state of vast disruption while the contractor struggles to finish up a complex new system of offices, vaults and hallways.

He’s pretty certain they didn’t want their spines checked. Although they forced entry through the front the door, the intruders merely marched around and took nothing. Checks were glimpsed by the prowlers but not taken. They exit ed as mysteriously as they had come. The break-in at the clinic was among three cases of its types investigated over the weekend by the Harnett sheriff’s force. Rural Policeman Stanley Byrd said two grocery stores in the Williams Crossroads section were also raided. Lemuel Gregory and Buck Griffin were the investigat ing officers.

Bickett, pre- , iding in Harnett Superior Court t it Lillington, slapped the youth i vith a three to five-year sentence, t itiffer than the boy had ever j beamed, A few days ago Jackie, a plump- t sh youth from Wade, chatted am- t ably about his chances. He won Icred if reporters would cover his rial — the same way they were overing the trial of killer Leroy ones. Jones had taken little over $100 nd had to leave two corpses be lind to get it. By those standards aekie was way ahead — he had emporarily snared a hundred ti nes that amount and with none of he blood-curdling trouble that the ingier men had gone to. Jackie seemed to be looking for ward to having his trial discuss 'd. He told the reporter to go ah ead and shoot his picture behind bars. Jailed with him was Larry Nordan, the Dunn youth, also in his teens, who has been in and out of court for the past two years. “I wouldn’t use your picture be hind bars,” the reporter said "You might want to run for vice president some day and that would spoil it.” Jackie laughed good-naturedly. He said that maybe the judge would treat him good — and give him probation.

Among the pieces of wreckage showing indications of explosives was a piece of plexiglass cabin 1 window found in the Kure Beach area, some 20 mijes from the crash scene. Thompson said the window showed “a smattering of 11*11 trial. Thompson’s testimony backed , up a statement last month by I CAB Chairman James R. Durfee that a dynamite explosion, set off by a dry cell battery, started the plane on its break - up in flight. Evidence of explosives was also found on the body of New York attorney Julian Frank. His man gled body was found in the Kure Beach area while those of the other 33 were found near Bolivia.

The outcome of the case meant much to Bobby Bryan, as it was his first defense of a man tried for his life. The same was true of his father, J. S. Bryan, associated with him.
