BENNETT IS GUILTY; TO KNOW FATE TODAY Mecklenburg Jury" Finds Him Guilty of KMnaphie and Seducing Miss La wing. Charlotte. Aog. 29- — Floyd Herman Bennett, young white man of Forsyth county, tonight was found guilty hy a superior court pn charges of kidnapping and seduction under promise of mar riage. the verdict ending one of the most widely, attend trials in MecKlen burg county in many months. Bennett was pronounced, guilty of kidnapping Milas Loretta. I jawing, 16-ycar-oki daughter of J, T. A. Lnwing, well known mattrera manufacturer, and also of seducing Miss 1 .awing under promise of marriage. The jury recommended the mercy of the court.

Bennett jumped into the limelight June 23 when be is alleged to have per suaded Miss Lowing to accompany him to Raleigh and High Point on a promise of marrige. where he abandoned her in a boarding house. Miss Lowing’ whereabouts wen* unknown for some time, but she was finally located through widespread publicity given her disappearance. Bennett disappeared, but was caught, about two weeks ago in Georgia. Evidence in the ease, which was started yesterday afternoon, was closed shortly before noon today, within a short time after Miss I.awing, the prosecuting witness, went on the stand and told her version of the affair. She told the same story she told in police court some time ago spirited grilling by defense counsel failing to shake her re cital in any detail. Pressmen’s Union Refuse to KtMorse LaFollette.

Ropkj Mount, Atig. 2fM-“Cs*sai\ the great road-burider that be wag, eould ft no way compare with Frank Da Re, whose foresight and earnest effort is building an even greate*- empire of roads more suc eesßfnlly,” declared C. W. Roberts, vice president and general manager of the Carolina Motor Club in an address de livered before' the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs Thursday. “Even though the recognition was small,” Mr. Roberts con tinued. “the salary increase awarded him by the last legislature indicates the feel ing of North Carolina and North Caro linians.” Mr. Roberts’ address carried a great deal of reference to the Carolina Motor Club, the organisation he has so success fully inaugurated and established. He outlined the many services of the clnb to the motorists of this state and to the continuous stream of tourists who daily travel in North Carolina because they find good roads, good towns and hospital ity on the part of the people. In speak ing of the work done by the cl,ub in con nection with eliminating speed traps and unjust traffic violation prosecutions, Mr. Roberts sai<N . • t I “Our purpose is not to antagonize the state, county or municipal officials, but on the other hand, to co-operate with them. I want to pay tributt to their generous and far-r.tnehing help. It has enabled us to be of serviee to the motor ist and that is our soie purpose and reas on for existing. We believe in the ob servance of laws as they stand on the books, and not as they have been treated in many instances. “The laws are inadequate to the needs of the motoring public. If you drive over SO miles an hour on the highways, you are violating the law. You violate the law if you drive over 20 miles nn hour in the city limits; if you drive over 10 miles an hour in the ’business section or go that fast passing any country cross road. If your lights do not meet regula tions, you violate the law; bad brakes violate the law; if your horn is not working you are liable for arrest and if you do not stop at all railroad crossings. And there are no nmeliaration by circum stances, either. We must enact laws that will permit us to be law-abiding citizens, all of us. “Many circumstances cause accidents on the highways; we have the reckless, the careless, the blind, the deaf, drunken, the fool driver and the courting, and the worst of these is the courting. One of the dangers today on the highways, (.re , the loving and petting drivers—and (he flapper class docs not constitute oil of these, either. Mr. Roberts touched on the bus and freight motor line situation stating that it was his opinion that private motorists should have the courtesy of the road or right-of-way since it was this class which j paid thp greatest revenue. He paid . tribute to honest automobile dealers and garage owners who, he said, tried to ! help “you wear out. your car by the long- j est route” and who “could’ do much to- ] ward elimination of expensive motoring.” I “The Carolina Motor Club nnd the Carolina Automobile Trade Association are devoting their entire attention to improving conditions; to putting the eti tomative business in North Carolina on a higher plane, following a Code of Eth ics which mean something. The Carolina ! Motor Club will shortly take a referen dum vote of its membership to deter- J mine the support of motorists regarding i legislation. < “We advocate the increase of miles per hour to 35 on the highway.); 23 in < incorporated towns or villages nnd 15 in the business section of these. We should repeal the law regarding 10 miles per hour at country cross roads—anyway, very few folks observe it. All vehicles on the roads at night should carry lights. Every driver should be examined care fully; under the supervision of the State Department, all brakes nnd lights should j be submitted to a periodical test. We ! favor the increase of the gas tax and I decrease of license-plate tax. I believe ] a law should be passed requiring acer- 1 tain .speed on crowded highways and to ( prohibit loafing. The state constabulary 1 will stop the petty mail order arrest bus- \ iness, and the stop law should and will j ba amended."
