"Now, Tm In Court All The Time" Marriage Blamed Hubert Bowden of Linden, Route 1, brought into Harnett Re corder’s Court for violating terms of a six-months suspended sen tence, blamed it all on getting married. ‘‘I was never in court in my life until I got married and now I’m here all the time,” complained | Bowden to County Judge Robert B. Morgan. Court records show that on April 6 he was given six months on the roads for an assault on his wife, suspended on the condition he not assault her again and quit using intoxicants for two years. On jiine 9, Mrs. Bowden charg ed her husband with beating her cn the head. She filed a complaint with probation officer M. R. Stout, who cited him to court for non compliance of the earlier sen tence. OTHER OFFENSES, TOO Probation officer Stout also pro duced record's which show that Bowden has been tried several times for assault on his wife and failure to provide adequate sup port. “Drinking seems to be his big problem and the cause of most of bis troubles,’" Solicitor Jake Lamm told the court. Judge Morgan ruled that Bow den had willfully and intentionally violated terms of his suspended sentence. He revoked the suspen sion and ordered him to serve the six months. However, Judge Morgan agreed to allow Bowden to participate in the work releasP program, with his earnings to go toward support cf his family. Mrs. Tart, who has operated a business in South Erwin for years and is widely-known throughout this area, testified that earlier she had warned the trio to stay away from her place “because they were always causing trouble ’’ On tthe witness stand, the sol diers swore that intoxicating bev erages are sold by Mrs. Tart at her place of business, known as “Pauline’s Place.” one of them added the testimony that she “pays off” officers to keep them from breaking up her bootleg business. Mrs. Tart stoutly denied the char ges. “Do you know that or do you just think it|” Solicitor Jack Lamm asked the defendant. “I think it,” repied the soldier and I have a right to my own1 (Continued on Page Six) Charlotte Judge Cracks Down CHARLOTTE — County Recorder Winfred R. Ervin today said a “general laxity among bondsmen” prompted a decision to put the court back on a cash bond busi ness. “We are not trying to penalize the bondsmen; we are working for the best interest of the court and' the community.” said Judge Ervin “We have tried both the cash and signed bond methods and the cash system has worked without a hitch.” he said. gevo—ii bondsmen contacted to day declined to comment directly on the Judge’s decision but they clearly didn’t like it Judge Ervin said the main trou ble is that bondsmen keep asking for continuances and the "whole thing just drags on and on.” Court Clerk, Sgt. Bob Hinson said that when the judge orders the bond forfeited, the bondsmen then appeal the case which sends it to an already cluttered civil su perior court. “Sometimes it lies around up there two or three years before the case can be heard,” he said. A bondsman operates this way: A prisoner who wants to be free from jail until his case comes to court contacts a bohdsman. The bondsman then signs a bond, guaranteeing either he will deliver the prisoner at the appointed time or he will forfeit cash in the a mount of the particular bond. An accounting is held once a month in court when the Judge cl ther grants a continuance or orders the bonds collected. From now on. the bondsmen will have to post cash instead of just signing a bond. Judge Ervin said his court oper ated on a cash basis for “years and years.” He said it changed to the signed bond operation about two years ago. “It just hasn’t worked out and tltat’s all there is to it,” he said. Sgt. Hinson said police also favor a cash bond operation. “It also helps police because a bondsman will be more conscious of delivering the prisoner when he has to put up cash,” he said. Sgt. Hinson said police waste time hunting bondsmen to serve collec (Con tamed on Page 6) Wife Is Former jean McKay Of Lillington FAYETTEVILLE — Dr. Robert I.
