Baseball Bat Ie Assault Case Given
Back To lO-Year-Old Owner By Judge
Boy's Father Used
It As Weapon, Gets
Suspended Sentence
A baseball bat, a knife and a
bottle were cited as weapons in
separate assault cases heard in
Moore County Recorders Court at
Carthage Monday — and a pistol
figured in another case as a con
cealed weapon.
As 10-year-old Olive' Goode tes
tified during the trial of his fath
er, Frank Goode of Pinehurst, for
using the bat on' a visitor to the
Goode home, the boy eyed the al
leged weapbn with some worry.
The bat was his and he appeared
to know that weapons used in as
sault cases are usually confiscated
and destroyed.
His father was sentenced to
three months on the roads, sen
tence to be suspended on payment
of $50 fine and costs and good be
havior for the next 12 months, but
Judge J. Vance Rowe took notice
of the boy’s concern about the bat
and directed that it be returned to
him—to the great and obvious re
lief of the owner.
Judge Rowe said he made the
sentence for the father light since
the assault took place in the de
fendant’s home.
Hubert Stanback of Southern
Pines — only recently released
from a term on the roads—was
defendant in the assault case cit
ing a bottle as the alleged wea
pon, but Stanback was not in
court when called. Instanter ca
pias was ordered and sci fa on the
bondsman, for appearnce in
court Tuesday.
Pleading guilty to using a knife
as weapon in another assault case
was Mackie Lee Stubbs, 17-year-
old West Southern Pines resident.
Officer H. V. Chandler, Jr., testi
fied that he had to draw his gun
to get the knife away from the
defendant after an altercation that
happened in a public place and
Judge Rowe, in suspending a three-
months’ road term for two years,
lectured the youth severely, rec
ommending that he stay home at
night and keep away from night
time gathering places.
Stubbs was fined $20 and was
taxed with the costs. The two-
year suspension of the road sen
tence stipulates that he violate no
laws during that time, particular
ly the laws against assault, or the
road term will be put into effect.
David L. Bland of Sanford was
charged with carrying a pistol as
a concealed weapon. Fined $50
and taxed with the costs, he was
also charged with driving without
license, but the State took a nol
pros on this count.

union of a divided family was

Defendants Try
To Sell Car To
Pay Court Costs
Puerto Ricans Had
No Driver's License
When Stopped Here
Puerto Ricans popped up again
in Mo e re recorders court Tuesday
in the form of two swarthy lads,
speaking very little English, who
had been arrested as they drove
north on US Highway 1 without
a driver’s license.
Jose Grtegoria Vincent Gutz-
man, 22, who was driving the car,
and Jose Gcnzales, 21, who said
he was the owner, were charged
respectively with driving without
a license, and allowing an un
licensed person to drive his car.
Judgment was continued for
j each on payment of costs amount
ing to about $15 each, which they
did not have. Judge J. Vance
Rowe said that, if they failed to
pay costs, they would have to go
to the roads for 30 days and he
counseled them to sell the car and
take the train.
At last report the boys, who
said they were from Miami, Fla.,
traveling to New Jersey, were
trying hard to do that but with
little prospect of success.
’ Charles Curtis Sheffield and
John Wesley Yow, of Robbins,
were penalized by a joint fine of
only $1, plus costs, when they
convinced the judge that their
having nine pints of taxpaid
whiskey in the car was purely
an accident. Sheffield said he had
' bought five pints at the Southern
I Pines ABC store, and, starting
I off for home, picked up Yow, who
I was there on the same mission
! and, unknown to Sheffield, had
four pints in a sack. This totaled
one more pint than can be legally
transported in a car at one time.
All would probably have been
well had they not paused by a
beer place and, without opening
their newlv bought whiskey, pro
ceeded to drink beer. They then
parked on a Southern Pines street
and entered into an argument,
which became somewhat noisy,
about which one should drive
home, resulting in their arrest.
Judge RoWe found Sheffield
guilty of unlawful possession and
transnorting of more taxpaid
whiskey than the law allows.
Yow of aiding and abetting and
also of disorderly conduct. He
ordered that the sheriff destroy
the whole nine pints.
