They also admitted that they had torn up fixtures at the jail, broken cut lights -nH short-circuited the lighting svstem. j Louis Geberski, white man ar raigned on the same charge, plead not guilty. Without a lawyer, he ( plad his own case and backed up . in his testimony by his cellmates, his defense was such that it resuited in a hung jury on Tuesday j and a re-trial on Wednesday morning- The second body after about 30 minutes deliberation re- ' turned a verdict of guilty, but ! asked the mercy of the court. 1 According the story told by all j three witnesses they came into , Korlina cn a freight train the night ( or the robbery.

They, he said, i were looking for work. 1 I They hoboed to Norlina, where they get off the freight and built ' a fire near th? tracks in order to warm themselves. At this time they : had not eaten for about 9 hours. The rest of his story was the same as told by his companions up until the time he left them and returned to the fire. He said that he did not know why they left him, when they planned the robbery or anything about that part of the story. hen approached by Chief Carter and questioned following the robbery, he said that he told the officer that he knew nothing about the other men that he came in to Norlina by himself, but that when he was carried before the magistrate and found Harley and Jungoes arrested fillincr a ui cncci.1115 ****?o station, he readily admitted that he came into Norlina with them. Crossed examined by Solicitor Parker as to why he made this untrue statement, Geberski replied that he did not know what kind of trouble his friends were in and thought it best to deny all knowledge of them. "As a matter of fact didn't you know that they had been arrested for breaking in the filling station?" Solicitor Parker asked. ' No; I did not. I had no idea what the trouble was." "Why did you tell them what you knew was not true then?" continued the Solicitor. "I did what I imagined any other man would have done under the circumstances. I denied knowing I anything about them," was the reply. "Well, if you did not know they had been arrested, how did you know that something was wrong?" "Because any one would have known when an officer came around and began to ask a lot of questions that something was the matter. Not knowing what it was, I naturally plead ignorance," Geberski answered. As for tearing up the jail, Geberski said that he had nothing to do With t.hnf- tViof Tiroe iv* 4-V?a I Isame cell with Harley and Jungoes and could not help himself. Called back to the stand, Harley and Jungces, corroborated Geberski in every statement made concerning the relations of the three. The State's evidence was that three men were seen by Jerman!

Mrs. Mulliken left Norlina on Monday for other chapter visits. She is expected to return to Warren today or tomorrow and give her final report at a general meeting. The time and place of this meeting have not been decided upon. The citizens of Che county have risen generously to the occasion, Mrs. Mulliken said. She expressed the hope that their interest would not abate as there is still much work to be done along all welfare lines, and the communities must realize their responsibility toward their stricken neighbors, not only in the disaster area, but throughout the county. "When more permanent quarters are -established another appeal will be made ior oeas ana Deaamg, as these will be of vital necessity," the Red Cross representative continued. "Several have already been offered, and the donors are asked to kindly hold them until there is a place to put them when they are collected. "The collection of clothes by the school children was most generous, and many new things were sent in through that channel. One little girl brought a peck of potatoes which was distributed to three families. The children were very enthusiastic over the work. "Mrs. B. T.

FRIDAY, J Frank Brown Allen Seriously Hurt In Automobile Wreck Frank Brown Allen, is recovering in Duke hospital irom a slight fracture of skull, a badly mangled ear and cuts about his head and face that he received Saturday night about 12 o'clock when a horse strayed into the pathway of the Ford sedan in which he and Barker Williams were riding towards Me con. Williams, who was driving, received painful cuts about the head and face when the force of the impact slammed the men against the windshield and killed the horse. The young men were brought to warrenton shortly alter tne accident and carried to the cffice of Dr. G. H. Macon by Kemp Davis who found Allen unconscious and Williams weak from the loss of blood. First aid was rendered by Dr. Macon and Dr. W. D. Rcdgers, and Allen, accompanied by Dr. Macon, was rushed to the Duke hospital at Durham in the Hudson of Jim Boyce, driven by Phil Allen. He regained conscicuanss just before reaching the hospital. Williams' cuts were given attention and he was carried to the home of Dr. Boyce where he remained until Sunday when he joined his mother, Mrs. B. B. Williams, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. , W. H. Dameron. Allen's condition was reported yesterday as being greatly improved, and Williams has returned tc school. Allen, a student of Duke University, and Williams, a student of the University of North Carolina, were home for the week end. Before retiring the ycung men drove out on the Macon road to smoke a cigarette, it was said. When they had traveled about a imle from town and started over a little hill the horse appeared suddenly in the pathway of their automobile and the crash occurred. The animal was the property of Butcher Wortham and had gotten loose from the filling station at the corner of tlrFMberia and Macon road where he was tethered. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Davis and Pett Boyd followed the injured students to Durham Saturday nirrhf illgAAVi Negroes Arraigned In Court On Six Larceny Counts The pleas of Wade Dowtin and George Alston, negroes arranged in Superior court on six counts of larceny, proved of no avail on Wednesday when they attempted to act as their own lawyers and they were sentenced to serve 15 months in the State prison. The case proved that Wade Dowtin and George Alston may have ' been poor lawyers, but that Robert McKnight, negro of near Warren- . ton, had some ability as a amateur detective and that J. H. Harper, negro, had spent some time in Jer- : sey, and was not to be thrown off his guard by questions from Wade. Dowtin and Alston were charged with stealing 500 pounds of meat 1 from Sam Ingram on December 31; five chickens from J. H. Harper on December 31, and five chickens 1 from George Myrick the same night; with breaking into J. H. " King's Service Station on Decern- 1 ber 28 and stealing goods to the I' value of $100. The same night, ac- 11 cording to the charge, they also ' stole 50 pounds of lard and 200 1 pounds of meat from Robert Mc- ' Knight, and 500 pounds of meat from Jim Alston.

Max Gardner last Friday afternoon, starting off his message to the General Assembly, "to consider North Carolina and to take thought of her future. This solemn duty comes to us at a time when most of our problems appear aggravated by the condition of economic maladjustments in which we find ourselves." "What does he mean by economic maladjustment?" whispered a neck, stretching individual to a friend in the crowd that swarmed about the room of the House chamber. "Indigestion!" whispered the friend in reply. "I've been troubled with it for years," murmured the first man. "Wonder how he knew of it?" fipvprnl hnnrirpH folks in nHHi. tion to the members of the General Assembly, were so keenly interested in what the Governor had to say about our economic maladpustment that they stood on their feet?and one another's feet?for about an hour and a half, listening to His Excellency tell what was wrong with North Carolina. And even then he only hit the high spots. If he had gone into details, the chances are that he wculd have been talking yet. He dealt with agriculture in a direct and forceful manner, and it seems as though the farmers of North Carolina either are going to have to adopt a live-at-home policy or starve at heme. The first of his recommendations v. as that a ten per cent cut be made in the salaries of all State, county anc1 municipal employees. Members of the legislature cheered and whooped. Then it suddenly dawned upon them that they were included I * _ I'M O J J 1 rn me list oi ovale euipn-yeea, uuu after that they eyed the Governor in stony silence. Four million dollars will be saved to the State annually if the proposed cut gees into effect. It may be that some of the legislators will ge sore and throw up their jobs, in which event the State would be even more fortunate. However, the Governor has to take his cut along with the others, so they can't complain. His idea is that it's better foi the whole crowd to lose a few dollars apiece, rather than to kick half the gang out of office. There might be some rcom for argument in that. He suggested that the State take ever most of the county roads and that another cent be added to the gasoline tax. That's going to shift the burden of keeping up the highways cnto the shoulders of the fellow who uses them, and it will help to reduce taxes on farms and other real estate. Heretofore the farmer has had to pay taxes on everything ?roads, schools, drinking cups for the senate, new rugs for the Governor's office, bathroom fixtures for the asylum and a host of other items. Every time something is dene?like the Governor's suggestion to take over the county roads ?it helps relieve the burden that the farmer has to bear. And if there's anyone in the audience who says that the farmer's burdens don't need a little relief at this particular time, we'll hear from him right now. The Governor wants to put the prisoners to work. Just because it's popular and fashionable right nov; to have a lot of unemployment outside the prison is no reason why the fashion should be carried inside the walls of the institution. About the only work that most of the inmates cf the State Penitentiary do right now is to lean against the walls of the dilapidated old building to keep them from falling Sown, and the cost of feeding, clothing and guarding must continue?work or no work. Governor Bickett, Governor Morrison and Governor McLean coniemned the present State Central Prison plant. Governor Gardner does the same. Governor Brumnit-Ehringhouse-Cox-Fountain undoubtedly will follow suit a couple Df years from now. And so will n civ VMfS from UUVCiUVX XUV>XlUiW*l, WXA JVW.M now. There are 21 pages to the Governor's message. There were about ?5 different subheads. Practically ill of them could have been grouped under one head, and that is: 'Lowering Taxation." Evidently somebody has been talking serious(Continued on Page 8) I tb a &ays Church r'eople Should Stop Buying Whiskey "If church people would stop patronizing bootleggers, the liquor traffic would suffer a severe decline," Judge E. H. Cranmer told members of the Warren county grand jury Monday morning in a charge in which he flayed the drunken driver and careless drivers in general. The jurist said that mnrp than twn nennle wprp hpiru? killed each day in automobile accidents in this state and a great majority of these accidents were due to carelessness and disregard for the rights of others. He said that he was ashamed to admit it, but that his travel in other states of the union had convinced him that automobile drivers in this state were the most flagrant violators of automobile laws and the rights of ' others on the highways. Judge Cranmer said that a per- ; son could judge thd character of a motorist by his conduct on the ' road. If he is courteous and fair and shows a regard for the rights of others on the highway, he will show the same spirit in his other 1 relations with mankind, the Judge 11^/iU. He paused in his discourse to ex- i plain to the jurors the signs for a right turn, a left turn and a stop signal. "As for the man who will tank himself up with whiskey and drive an automobile, I cafTt find the words to express my opinion of him," Judge Cranmer said. "It is true that the prohibition laws are being violated," he continued, "but that is true of other laws as well and no effort is being made to repeal them. I am proud to say that if a man is found guilty of larceny, or murder, or assault, I can look him straight in the eye when I pass sentence. And I can look a whiskey dealer in the eye, too, when I pass sentence on him, I detest whiskey and everything aoout it. I have a young daughter and I am willing that she shall drink just as much whiskey as I drink and buy just as much whislrpv ns T huv Tf t.hp rhnrrh nennlfi. I mean the good upstanding people of this state, would stop patronizing the bootlegger, the liquor traffic would suffer a severe decline." Judge Cranmer paused in his charge to pay a glowing tribute to Solicitor R. Hunt Parker and congratulated the people of this district upon having him as their solicitor. Hunt Is Elected To Head Kiwanians William Hunt, salesman of the Carolina Power and Light Company, was elected president of the V/arrenton Xiwanis club at a meeting held in the club dining room at Hotel Warren on Thursday night of last week.

CRIMINAL DOCKET ENDS THURSDAY Murder Case Is Continued; Green Found Guilty On Mnnalsiiiorhtpr fKjiror?? HARRIS IS FOUND GUILTY The criminal docket of the January term of Warren county Superior court ended Thursday at noon when the case of State vs. Allen Green negro, charged with manslaughter as the result of an automobile accident here last fall in which James Rudd, negro, was killed, went to the jury, and the court turned its attention to the Civil Docket which contains no cases of outstanding interest. Green was found guilty. The Judge tcld him if he raised $500 to paj the widow of James Rudd, pay for the automobile destroyed; pay the costs in the case and give a bend for good behavicr that he would not send him to the penitentiary. Green said that he would do his best to raise the money. Court convened on Monday morning with Judge E- H. Cranmer of Southport presiding. Monday Julian Allsbrook of Roanoke Rapids prosecuted in the absence of Solicitor R. Hunt Parker who was attending the funeral of his wife's mother at Greensboro. The remainder of the term Solicitor Par. ker has been prosecuting. The court calendar contained a murder case, a manslaughter case, and a case of assault with intent to commit rape as well as a number of larceny and forgery cases, but they have been of such a nature as to arouse no widespread interest. The court room the first three days of the session was crowded to capacity with citizens at times lining the bar three deep. This was felt to have been caused by the rainy weather that prevented farm work, rather than to exceptional interest in the cases on docket. The only capital case on the court docket, State vs. Lee Jackson, murder, was continued due to the absence of Hunter Pinnell, former coroner, who is in a Richmond hospital as a result of an injury to one of his eyes several weeks ago. Jackson is charged with feloniously and maliciously murdering Jim Fitts, negro at Wise cn the night of April 18, 1930. Fitts was clubbed to death. Jackson was arrested at Richmond on September 18 and brought to the Warren county jail fiom which he escaped, and was later recaptured. A jury found Jerry Harris, young mulatto negro, guilty of attempted assault with intent to rape, but that he was under 18 years of age. Harris was accused of attacking a young white girl near Littleton several weeks ago. He entered a plea of not guilty. Judge Cranmer ordered the court cleared of all spectators while testimony was being given. The jury was out only a short time before returning its verdict. Harris was sentenced to irom 2 i-z to 0 years in the State prison late yesterday afternoon. Harvey Brown, young white man of Henderson, was found guilty ct housebreaking. He was charged with entering the home of J. C. Moore on Tuesday night of last week. Mrs. Gordon Farmer testified that Brcwn was seen hiding In a recess upstairs shortly after ) o'clock as she was passing from her bedroom to a kitchenette and that he fled down the stairs pursued by her husband. A few minutes later he was arrested hiding under the rear steps of the home by Night Officer Lovell. Evidence brought cut at the trial was that Brown was drunk. He was sen. tenced yesterday afternoon to three raonths in the county jail. Sentence was suspended upon condition that Brown pay costs in the tase, give bond fcr good behavior ind appear at January and May term of court for two years and prove good behavior. George Davis, negro, faced the :ourt on a charge of shooting his 'at her, Henry Davis, with a shct run after he had been ordered to eave his home on the ground that lis father was tired of supporting aim in idleness. George was his nnrl rlnenifn fVlQ corimiO .
