THREE BAZEBS
CONVICTED
Of the four Sophamores'from the
University of North Carolina who
were tried for manslaughter, for the
the death of William Rand at Cha
pel Hill, last September, during a
hazing gpree, Arthur Styron was
acquitted because there was no evi
denc. to .implicate him in the af flair
the other three Win. Leonard Mer
rimon, Aulerey Carlisle Hatch, and
Ralph Oldham, were convicted and
sentenced to serve a term of four
months, each, on the county xoads
of Orange county, with the provi
&ion that they might be hired out
by the commissioners of that county
The fathers of each of these hired
them from the county for the sum
of $150.00. Of course this amounted
to the same thing as i m posing a
fine of $150.00 each upon them for
the crime of manslaughter. Of course
they fortified their citizenship.
News Observer March 18
Governor Craig has been asked to
pardon the recently convicted haz-
ers, W. L. Marriman, of Willington;
A. C Hatch of Mount Olive, and R.
W. Oldham, of Raleigh.
The request came from the father
of young Merriman, a splendid citi-
of -WilmingtonHErieirrthe
case of all the boys. The pardon is
asked on the ground that their citi
zenship will be restored and that it
will not be impaired if , the young
men do not serve their sentence of
four months.
There is a big room for argument
on that proposition, but ths gover
nor has not reached that point.
WEBSTER, N. C
HAYES SHORT $5000.
News and Observer.
Winston- Salem, March 18. The
board of trustees of the Methodist
Children's Home here, after an all-
day session late this afternoon, is
sued a statement regarding ihe
shortage of former Superintendent
H. A. Hayes, who retired from the
institution about a month ago.
An expert accountant, employed
to audit the accounts of the home
reports a shortage of proven items
in Mr. Hayes' account of $2,337.84.
and that there appears from an
analysis of Mr. Hayes' personal ac
count a probable shortage of $3,193.
74, making a total shortage of $5,
531.58. This shortage was all found to be
in the maintenance fund and in ho
way was the building fund involved.
The committee of tansfer of the
home to the new superintendent,
under direction of an attorney, has
been directed by the trustees to
continue the process to reinburse
the Home so far as possible for the
whole defalcation from any assets
which may hereafter be found.
