Court Moves Swiftly
Many Cases Are Disposed Of,
Including Several Of Most
important In Years.
I
The special term of two weeks of
criminal court ordered by Governor
Gardner for Randolph county con
vened in the court house in Askebere
Monday with Judge Cameron F: Mc
Rae, of Asheville, presiding. Solicitor
Zeb. V. Long, of Statesville, is prose
cuting for the State. Immediately
following the selection of the grand
jury Monday morning, Judge McRae
delivered A brief charge. He defined
crimes generally as private and pub
lic wrongs and advised the grand jury
that they were to take into considera
tion only those wrongs in the latter
classification. He referred briefly to
the duties of a grand jury, and re
minded the members of that body up
on the proper discharge of their du
ties in this capacity rested the pros
perity and happiness of the commun
ity. He called attention to no specif
ic violation of the laws save those
regulating traffic. This be dealt with
because of the marked increase in
the past few years of traffic accidents
which are due in the main, Judge Me-j
Rae said, because of the disregard of'
the law by at least one of the parties
to every accident. The death and in
jured toll from motor vehicle acci
dents, Judge McRae reminded the
jury, has reached so great a total that
it is appalling to contemplate. Traf
fic laws are made for every car driv
er, the judge advised, and no motorist
/ is immune from them, though there
are thousands who seem to feel and
to act as if laws are made for the
other fellow.
Judge McRae urged the strict en
forcement of all laws on the statute
books of the State. Whether a law is
a good one or not it should be ob
served, and if it happens the law is a
bad one, there is no better way to ob
tain its repeal than to enforce it to
the letter. Laws are made for the
guidance of citizens, however, and few
are bad.

Deputies Capture A
Big Still In Union
Officers Jonah Lucas, Lonnie Cole
and Columbus Lucas, of Seagrove,
brought to Asheboro Tuesday one of
the largest distilling outfits seen in
Randolph county in some time. The
still, a 225-gallon capacity copper out
fit, was taken near the Montgomery
county line in Union township early
Tuesday after the officers had watch
ed the greater part of the night in an
effort to bag the operators. How
ever, no one appeared at the still dur
ing the night and about day the still
urns dismantled and later brought to
Asheboro. There were several hun
dred gallons of beer at the gtill place
and about five gallons of whiskey. It
was evident that the still had been in
operation for several days, and a
“run” had been made the day prior to
the raid.

and the negro was led back into his \
cell at the county jaiL Only three
witnesses were placed on the stand,;
Mrs. McKinnon, Mrs. J. M. Asbfll and

Two Tickets In Field
In p«ndl>«nmi Election
There are two tickets iri the field
for the municipal election to be held
in Rahdleman on May 7th. At a re

Substantial Reward Offered
r to the arm
driver of the
side of the county as a precautionary
measure. He was returned to Ashe
boro the day of the trial and yester
day morning county officers took
him to the penitentiary at Raleigh
where he was placed in death row.
The negro was originally from Enfield
and escaped from Morrison Training
school, near Hoffman, a few months
ago, coming to the Erect community
to work.
Wiley is the first person to be sent
up from Randolph; county to the elec
tric chair, and the second man to re
ceive the death penalty in Randolph
since the civil war. The first was
Pinckney Bowman, Rockingham coun
ty white man, who was hanged in
Asheboro on August 29, 1878, after
having been tried and sentenced to
death in Randolph Superior Court.
The crime for which he was convicted
| and hanged, poisoning his Wife, was
I not committed in Randolph county,
but in Rockingham. Benjamin Mil
likan was sheriff of this county at
that time, and it is a coincidence that
i another Millikan, W. Ben, is sheriff of
the county at this time. There will
be no mammoth crowd at the execu
tion of the negro rapist, however, as
j there was at Bowman’s hanging, when
people came from all over Randolph
and even from adjoining counties to
witness the execution. Wiley will
' meet his death while sitting in the
.sturdily constructed electric chair in
the death room in State prison in the
presence of only the witnesses requir
ed by law.

Frank Gladden Is
Held On Charge Of
Killing Robertson
Alleged That Gladden Was Driv
er Of Car Which Killed Man
On Highway Feb. 24.
Companion Also Held
George Ross, Georgia Man, Ar
rested In Toledo, Ohio, On
The Same Charge.
Frank Gladden, High Point textile
worker, is in Randolph county jail
charged ,with the death of “ White y”
Robertson, also of High Point and said
to have been'a near neighbor of Glad
den. Robertson was struck and killed {
by a speeding car while walking along
the highway, near King Tut filling
station two miles north of Asheboro,
on the night of February 24. Gladden,
it is charged, was the driver of the
car, a Whippet roadster, which struck
and killed Robertson and at the same
time injured his companion. Gladden
was arrested by Detective G. B. Wim
beily, of High Point, who has gone to
Toledo, Ohio, to bring back to North
Carolina another High Point man, j
George Ross, who, it is alleged, was
Gladden’s traveling companion on the
night of the accident. Wimberly is
expected to arrive in Asheboro with
his prisoner this morning. Both will
be tried probably at the present term
of criminal court.
It is understood that Gladden de
nies he struck Robertson but admits
he had been to Asheboro on the day
of the accident. Robertson and his
companion, who also 'was hit and
slightly injured, had stopped their car
on the highway just beyond the King
Tutt filling station when they ran
out of gas. They had gone to the fill
ing station and were returning to
their car without the gas, after get-,
ting no response to their calls to the
operator, who slept inside the station.
The operator, however, had awakened,
and according to the story of the ac
cident, opened the door just in time
to see a car strike the man. Robert
son was fatally hurt.

DemocraMaking
Strenuous Effort
To Unite On Tariff
What Position Democrats As
sume Now On Tariff Is Of
Greatest Importance.
Hold Conference
To Determine Action—Senator
Simmons Is Party’s Key Man
In Tariff Legislation.
Washington, D. C., April 29.—By
the time this is read the Senate may
have decided whether it will keep the
debenture plan in its farm relief lull
or not. The fate of the plan is apt to
be decided by a close vote. If it is
eliminated its advocates will right to
have it adopted as an amendment to
the tariff bill. Indeed they would
rather try it on the tariff bill than
on the farm bill because if debenture
is impossible either in the house or at
the White House they prefer it to de
stroy tariff revision rather than so
called farm relief legislation. They
believe that tariff revision offers the
path of lesser resistence to debenture
for the Democrats and the insurgent
Republicans who are backing deben
ture are far more anxious that a
farm relief bill without debenture be
passed than a tariff bill without de
benture be enacted.
The Democrats are making a stren
uous effort to present a united front
on the debenture and on the tariff.
The senate Democrats held a caucus
,last week to sound out the situation
and numerous conferences and discus
sions have been held this week with
the hope of closing up the ranks. But
at this writing probably a half dozen
Democratic senators are opposed to
the debenture and are counted on to
defeat it in the farm bill. If they
vote as now seems probable the de
benture plan will be thrown out of the
senate farm bill and the President is
likely, we are told, to get from con
gress a bill by May 10 that he will be
willing to sign. The Hoover admin
istration is now enploying every re
source at its command with that mid
in view

BOARD TO BORROW MONEY
TO FINANCE NEW SCHOOL
The board of commissioners in ses
sion a short while Monday passed a
resolution authorizing the borrowing
of money on short term notes in an
ticipation of a loan from the State
literary fund for the purpose of fin
ancing the construction of the school
building at Franklinville. It is antic
ipated that about $60,000 will be need
ed. The commissioners have taken
this action rather than to attempt
the borrowing of money on bonds, as
was the course it was first decided to
pursue. However, there seems to be
some question as to the legality of
such bond issue, a question which was
raised by Major Bruce Craven, of
.Trinity, who is an authority on bond
matters.
