THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina
Youths Get Suspended Sentences For Beating Airmen In ‘Useless’ Attack
Greensboro Men Get
Straight Road Terms
On Traffic Charges
Three young Moore County
men, convicted in what Solicitor
W. Lament Brown termed the
most “utterly useless” crime he
had ever prosecuted in Moore Re
corder’s Court, recei\{ed suspended
road sentences Monday for beat
ing up three airmen of the Air
Force Air-Ground Operations
School about two weeks ago.
The three. Buck Kirk, Bobby
Willard, and Charlie Lewis, all of
whom live ne^u• Aberdeen, were
convicted of beating Airmen
George Cox, Richard Moody smd
Amelio Estrada April 19 in South
ern Pines.
No reason was ever given for
the three’s actions, other than that
one of the airmen had made a
slighting remark which apparent
ly made Kirk mad.
'Testimony indicated the affray,
which occurred near midnight
April 19 at the intersection of
Morganton Road and Indiana Ave
nue, started when Kirk forced the
automobile the three airmen were
in to stop about a block away.
Moody said that Kirk then at
tempted to drag him from the car,
and finally did after he (Moody)
had driven a block with Kirk par
tially inside the car and trying to
get the ignition keys.
When the car finally stopped,
the defendants said, Kirk, togeth
er with Lewis, Willard and anoth
er defendant who was not in
court, pulled them from the car
and gave them a sound beating.
The three defendants did not de-
deny that they beat up the air
men, although Lewis said he had
been nothing more than a by
stander and had even tried to puU
someone off the airmen.
Solicitor Brown said that the
beating was a shame to the town,
particularly in view of the excel
lent relations that USAFAGOS
and Southern Pines had enjoyed
in the past.
Kirk, identified as the ring lead
er, received a six months road
sentence for assault and battery
and assault with a deadly weapon
(automobile). The sentence was
suspended on payment of a $100
fine and costs.
Willard and Lewis received
three months road sentences, also
on the same charges, suspended on
payment of $5(1 and costs.
Gary Wathen, another defend
ant, was not in court because of
illness. His case was continued.
Sent To Roads
In another case that drew unus
ual interest from the crowded
courtroom, two young Greensboro
residents, Julian McIntosh and
Marshall Lowe, were handed
straight 60 day road sentences for
speeding, careless and reckless
driving, and racing.
State Highway Patrolmen had
arrested the pair after clocking
them at 90 miles per hour over a
speed watch. Officers said they
had been racing at breakneck
speed and had passed on a curve.
Both defendants’ wives appear
ed in court and denied their hus-
' bands had been speeding more
