Wilmington, N. C. Whitevilfe, N. C. 'blonde, was tired and hungry when taken into the rural home of George Rogers, 15 miles from | the point where her school bus I let her out on a roadside Wed j nesday. It was there that she j entered the car with the two ! men and drove off as school mates looked on. The sheriff's office announced (that Jerome Alford, 30, and Hugh I Smith, 22, farmers, were in an i undisclosed jail. 1 . I "I understand from the doc- [ ! tors that those fellows didn't i j bother her," said Deputy Sheriff j '? Burt Rogers, one of these offi- J | cers who returned the child here i I for an examination at' a Mol- j I lins hospital. Later in the day, j j Mary and her parents went to | an infirmary at Florence for a j further examination of the child. Of the two under arrest, Deputy Rogers added. "They'd been drinking." In the widespread hunt across | the Carolinas the parents had j gone to their former home near | Tabor City, N. C., after receiving i reports that a car with two men and a child had been sight?d near the North Carolina boundry. Deputy Sheriff Sam Holden quoted the men under arrest as saying they "thought she was hungry." He said the men lured the child into their car with cake and bubble gum. Children stand 1 ing nearby said- Mary screamed and tried to get out as the car | drove away. | After her release from the , hospital here, Mary was taken | to the home of Policeman Har ry Harrelson wlfere she h a d 1 dinner and romped with the of-; ficer's small son. There she re-i mained until her parents arriv-1 ed. Officers said the men and the child had driven about in Ma rion and Dillon counties the greater part of the night. Short-i ly after the girl was admitted1 to the farm home, Mullins of-1 ficers arrested Smith in his car here. Shortly afterward Alford was found walking along a Dtl- ( long county road. School children had given offi cers a description of the car. Smith, when arrested, told de- j putics that Alford had been with ; liim last night. Officers said the men gave the child cake and Candy on the all-night ride. A. R. (Bob) Harris, who 'hssj graduated from N. C. State Col lege in March of this year with a B. S.
