THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16,193 d.
Recorder’s Court
(Continued From Front Page)
remain under parents control for
one year. The question arises: If
they were under their parents'
control when the theft occurred as
inferred, what difference does it
make anyway? This court re
porter is of the opinion that a
good old-fashioned whipping would
do more good to some truant boys
in fact, most any of them .than
such parental control as some of
them have today. However, it is
not always the parents’ fault.
Orrin Ferrell, brother to water
melon lover, was before the law
for being drunk and disorderly.
Judgment was suspended upon
payment the costs of the court.
One wonders where it gets justice
for a court to break even with a
violator. He pays the expense and
goes out with a clean slate.
Howard David was also before
Judge Rhodes a second time, only
this time it was for being drunk
and disorderly. Some months ago
Howard was sentenced to the roads
for breaking, entering and arson
for a period of two years. In this
case Howard got his sentence sus
pended by paying the costs. The
laity have always understood that
when one convicted of crime is
put on probation, such sentence
goes into effect when he violates
the law a second time Why the
difference here?
Robert Tuck and John Hinton,
colored men, argued with their
fists to such an extent that they
were haled into court. They were
fined $5.0(1 each and court costs.
Hallie Richardson had lately re
turned from serving a 6 months
sentence on the roads. He met
with one of the witnesses whose
evidence sent him there, so he pro
ceeded to knock him down with a
vengeance. Judgment was sus
pended on payment of the costs.
Kinly Dunn drew his razor and
sideswiped another of his race, al
most disrobing him. But the
slashes little more than shaved the
clothes from his victim’s body.
$25.00 and the court costs was the
price of his barber act.
Willard Hicks was in court for
breaking down the door of “John’s
Place,” located at the May filling
station about one mile east of Zeb
ulon. Willard did not need an at
torney, but proceeded to question
the witness for himself. Among
other things ,he wanted to know'
what sort of “ladies” the propri
etor kept at his place. The ‘ new’
attorney created quite a lot of
merriment and when he got
through the judge said, “not guil
ty.”
Another case awaits court action
if and when Ivan Montague, Jr.,
dies. It seems that Ivan was
armed with a pair of knucks. Clyde
Pearce had a good old barlowe.
Both were celebrating on good
bootleg or ABC liquor. Ivan made
a pass with his knucks Clyde
made one with his knife, starting
at the top of Ivan’s skull. His knife
traveled down by his ear and
around across his throat. It
’most got him. At this time he
has pneumonia along with the ef
fects of the knife wound. This al
so occurred at “John’s place.” P.
S. It took 34 stitches to close
Ivan's gash. Some one said 50
stitches would not have been too
many.
