Zoning Rules
I The Dunn Area Planning Board
held a special meeting Monday night
at the Home Savings & Loan As.

Mr. & Mrs. D. E. Brewer, Mr. &
Mrs. John Snipes, Sam Miriello, and
Mr T. C. Bogle of Lamar Dean Out
door Advertising Company of North
Carolina, Inc. at Winston-Salem.
Mr. Bogle objected to the restric
tions of the proposed new zoning
ordinance which would allow out
door advertising signs only on va
cant lots in C. E. Districts (Com
mercial Districts for Exterior Use).
Mr. Bogle offered to prepare sug
gested sign regulations. The Plan-,
nlng Board agreed to this and ask
ed that the regulations be sub
mitted within one wees.
The next item was the new zoning
map on which the Planning Board
marked off areas according to their
zoning classifications. Most of
the visitors present were there in
the interest of keeping the area
Bouth of the Wayne Avenue Shop
ping Center a residential area. Aft
er several hours work, all areas
had been marked off except for
R-M areas, which are Multi-family
residential unit areas in which are
allowed Trailer Parks.
The Board delayed action on these
areas until they could study the
proposed new Trailer Park Ordin
ance. They then preceeded to study
this Ordinance in detail but no fin
al action was taken to allow mem
bers more time to decide the best
course to follow on trailers. There
was some objection to the 4 acre
minimum size requirement for a
Trail - Park, and other construction
details. These are to be decided on
at the next meeting, which will be
the reeular meeting' on Monday,
September 27, 1965 at 7:30 p. m.
No owners of present trailer in
stallations attended this meeting
to express their views.

Tew Described As
Violent Paranoid,
i He Says He's Sane
John J. Tew, Jr., 45-year-old Dunn business man,
was committed to the Dorothea Dix metal hospital at
RaUeigh today, just 13 days after a jury found him not
guilty by reaison of insanity in the July 17th psitol
slaying of his divorced wife, Mrs. Candy Tew, 40.
Judge Leo Carr of Burlington took the action at
a sanity hearing conducted in Harnett Superior Court,
during which Tew was branded by psychiatrists as a
“dangerous and violent paranoid.** .
Dr. Leslie B. Hohmann of Duke Hospital, world
famed psychiatrist, said in a letter introduced by Dis
Solicitor Archie Taylor that “Tew‘s condition is of such
severity that only a prolonged hospital stay could con
vince me he had improved. The type illness he suffers
JOHN J. TEW, JR.
lenus iu ue tmumt aim
criminal. I would not be
content to see him releas
ed until after a very long
period has elapsed, if
. ever.“
Judge Carr, in send.
Tew to the State mental
hospital, ordered that he
“be kept in custody and
confined for his own tr
| eatment, care and secur
ity." He noted that, “there
is nothing in the record
to support any contention
his condition has in any
way improved. He is dan
gerous to himself and es
pecially to other people.
The jurist noted that
no length of time is sp.
ecHied in such cases but pointed out that, “Even if
doctors at the hospital should find he has recovered
his sanity, hecould not be released until after an
other sanity hearing by the resident judge of this
district.
The defendant Tew was obviously unhappy over
the commitment order.
“If I'm crazy," he told a Daily Record repor
ter after he was led back to jail, “then I‘ve been that
way for 45 years. My mind is just as> clear now as
it's ever been.“
He said that for 45 years he had been able to
get along, had cared for his family as well as any poor
man could and had successfully managed his business
and other affairs. He said it was true he had been upset
about his wife, “but that's in the past now.
“If they think I'm crazy enough to be sent to
Dix Hill," he added, “then they ought to round up
everybody else that's out and send them with me be
cause they're as crazy-as lam. That paranoid stuff
stuff is a lot of nonsense."
No new witnesses were offered
at the sanity hearing, Judge Carr
summarized testimony relating to
Tew's mental condition as he took
it from evidence of the trial. Only
witnesses who had testified they
thought Tew insane were an uncle,
the two psychiatrists, a detective
and an airplane pilot he hired to
try to catch his wife with other men
two traveling salesmen who called
on Tew at his furniture store, and
Mrs. Verdie Huguelet, his lawyer’s
secretary, and Mrs. Nancy Welborn,
local newspaper editor.
More than a dozen other witness
es had testified Tew was sane and
knew right from wrong.
Dr. Hohmann had testified that
beginning about the first of the
year Tew started having paranoid
mental delusions that his wife was
unfaithful but that his delusions
to here sexual promiscuity had all
been false and disnroven.
Bv coincidence. Resident Superior
Court Judge W. A. (Bill) Johnson
of Lilljngton was among the State’s
witnesses who swore he thought
Tew was sane and knew right from
wrong- Judge Johnson had presided
At a custody hearing attended by
Tew ana ms aivorcea wue juai two
nights before the killing.
State and prosecution attorneys
who fought constant verbal duels
all through the hotly-contested first
degree murder trial, continued to
spar at the hearing today.
Solicitor Archie Taylor asked the
court to put Tew away “for years
and years and years and years’*
and indicated he didn’t think he
should ever again be turned loose
but still contended that Tew Is sane.
“I didn’t think at the rial he
was insane. I do not believe now
that he is insane, but the Jury ruled
otherwise.” said Taylor.
