Mrs. Price's Twins Are Double Trouble Mrs. Ruby Williams Price pre sented a pair of problems last Wednesday when she gave birth to twin boys at Rex Hospital. The problems result from Mrs. Price being under indictment on a mor als charge. She was being held in the Wake County Jail before go ing to R»x for birth of the boys, previously being taken to the jail from the State Hospital. Last April 9, in the Zebulon Re corder’s Court, Mrs. Price was re ported incompetent of pleading guilty or innocent to charge of en gaging in prostitution with Ne groes. The State Hospital reported she has an IQ of 53, which placed her on a “Moron level.” The hospital decided that she needed care, but not in the hospital. Her 65-year-old tenant husband received sentences totaling seven years at his trial last March on charges of assignation aiding and abetting in prostitution of his wife with the Negroes. He is serving the time. The Wake County Jail does not want Mrs. Price and her twins back, since there are no facilities to care for them there. She is not mentally ill enough to be treated at the hospital. Her relatives cannot care for her. Mrs. Price’s twins are proving problem children already. ricane . . . blizzard . . . forest fire.
