Four teen-age Philadelphia boys,

€d an "on again, of again” trip down,
was allowed to go on his way to New
Orleans.
According to the testimony given in
Recorder’s Court at Carthage, the
story goes like this:
The four boys started out from the
Pennsylvania city in a car which be
longed to the brother of one of the
quartet. Out from Baltimore they
picked up Hayden, who was thumb
ing his way to Louisiana.
All went well until they got down
into Virginia, and there the car broke
down. There was not enough cash
among them to pay for repairs. Hay
den shouldered his pack and started
on by the thumb route and according
to his testimony, he “caught several
hops.” The other boys decided to
take a car in order to continue the
trip.
Near Henderson, this state, in their
“borrowed” car, the Philadelphia

ure, shouldered his pack and proceed
ed southward. Not to be outdone, the
four abandoned their Virginia car
for one which they took possession
of m Raleigh.
Down the way a distance, they
again caught up with Hayden and for
the third time gave him a lift. When
they reached Aberdeen, they ran out
of gas. Two of the boys halted by
the highway while two more scout
ed around for an automobile from
which they planned to transfer the
gas to their car. Hayden walked on.
Police Officer Deaton was notified
of the presence of the two boys who
waited and he took them in charge.
As he was going in with them, they
met the Pontiac coupe of Lee Page
which the other two boys had taken
for its gas supply. When they saw
that their buddies had been nabbed,
they left the car and ran, but were
soon taken. Hayden was arrested far
ther down the road.
In court, they were charged with
' the temporary larceny of a car. found
guilty and sentenced to .serve three
months, at the expiration of which
they are to be turned over to Raleigh
