Victim Makes Friends With Assailants
But They Must Pay His Medical Bills
Shotgun And Knife
Figure In Recorders
Court Case Saturday
West So. Pines
Library Project
Gets Attention
A case of an assault victim mak
ing friends with his assailants
turned up in recorders court at
Carthage Saturday, as has occur
red occasionally before in this
court, but Judge J. Vance Rowe
sentenced both the alleged attack
ers to suspended road terms and
directed they pay the injured
man’s medical expenses and com
pensate him for loss of time fibm
work. Court was held Saturday
because of Superior Court starting
Monday.
Coby Spencer, 40, and Eugene
Spencer, 18, Eagle Springs Ne
groes, were the alleged assailants
—Coby charged with assault with
a deadly weapon (shotgun) and
Eugene with assault with a deadly
weapon (knife), with intent to
kill, inflicting serious injury. •
Both pled not guilty but were
found guilty—ej?cept not with in
tent to kill. Eugene was sentenc
ed to 13 months on the roads,
while Coby drew a two-months
term, both sentences suspended
on payment of James Kennedy’s
medical expenses and loss of
working time, amounting alto
gether to, $75.
It was testified that the trio had
made friends and that Kennedy
wanted to withdraw the warrant,
but the evidence showed sufficient
violation of the law to prevent
this solution.
Tullman Bailey, alias Philip
Bailey, Pinehurst Negro, pleading
not guilty to assault on a female,
was found guilty and was sen
tenced to eight months on the
roads.
Two other defendants in sep
arate cases involving violence or
threats were called and did not
appear and it was directed that
capiases be issued to get them
into court for trial March 29. De
fendants were William Gaillardet
of Pinehurst, chargpd with assault
on a female with his fist and
James Gilmore, cljarged with
making threats to kill. Appear
ance bond for each was set at $300.
Other Cases
Other cases heard Saturday,
Plans for one of the “Finer
Carolina” contest projects—^bring
ing the West Southern Pines ele
mentary 'School library up to
standards cf accreditation—were
advanced this week when Miss
Celeste Johnson, assistant state
school hbrary advisor with the
Department of Public Instruction,
Raleigh, visited the library to
evaluate the present book collec
tion.
She was accompanied to the li
brary by Miss Lockie Parker,
chairman of the project which is
one of five set up in the coming
year’s contest program. Miss
Parker reported that already 118
books have been obtained as gifts
from publishers and 92 books have
been ordered with school funds.
Gifts of children’s books in good
condition are welcome. Miss Park
er said, to be considered for addi
tion to the library. They can be
delivered to the school or to the
Country Book Shop, corner Penn
sylvania Avenue and Bennett
Street.
Various groups in West South
ern Pines have started raising
money to buy books to help com
plete the project, planning athletic
contests and entertainment pro
grams.
There are now less than 500
books in the school library. Ac
credited status requires three
books per child. With an enroll
ment of about 380, this means that
the library should have about 1,-
000 volumes. Miss Johnson said.
While she was here, she marked
some books to be discarded as un
suitable or too badly worn for
use.
