Y OF WARREN, N. C., FRII
RKKIANS LOSE
THIRD ROUND
??
Jury Says Jerry Peoples Not
Guilty of Charge Carrying
A Concealed Weapon
WAGNER CASE PUT OFF
The Riggans lost the third round
of 'the legal battle that has been
waged before Judge W. W. Taylor
for the past several Monday mornings
as the result of a fight that
took place between the Peoples and
Riggans on August 20 in front of
Pett Burwell's service station in
north Warrenton.
The decision which was favorable
to the Peoples was given by a jury
in Recorder's court this week which
agreed that Jerry Peoples was not
guilty of carrying a concealed
weapon at the time the general mixup
took place.
The acquittal of the defendant
Monday morning was the second
legal victory for the Peoples. The
Riggans won a court decision the
week before when Fenner Peoples,
17-year-cld boy who was involved
in the affray, was found guilty of
assault.
The Peoples won their first legal
victory on the Monday morning following
the affray cn August 22
when Solon Peoples was struck
across the head and injured sufficiently
to solicit medical aid. At
that time Jack Riggan was found
guilty of striking Peoples and Jack
Graham Riggan Jr., and Albert
Paschall were also found guilty of
assault. Buster Riggan, facing a
similar charge, was found not
guilty.
The Riggan's interest has been
looKea alter oy dinner uveroy.
Julius Banzet has represented the
Peoples.
The case ended in the court room
this week when the jury wrote not
guilty as the final chapter in the
continued story of battle that has
been related for weeks before Judge
Taylor.
Charlie Vaughan, white man, was
in court on a charge of assault. It
was intimated that he was mentally
deranged, and Judge Taylor ordered
that he re-appear in dburt on Sept.
12th' at 10 o'clock.
The trial of Macy Wagner, white
man charged with reckless driving,
was postponed until October. This
was due to the fact that counsel for
the defendant was called out of the
court room to give legal advice to
the board of county commissioners.
