N. I
Man Pleads Own Case In Recorder’s
Court, Loses, Appeals The Judgment
A man who pleaded his own
case in Moore Couniy Recorder’s
Court at Carthage Monday fail
ed to clear himself of a charge
of aiding and abetting in the un
lawful possession of illicit whis
key for sale.
Continuing to maintain his in-
mcence, J. M. Kanoy, who oper
ates Yonac cabins and service
station near Cameron on No. 1
highw3y> appealed to Superior
Court from a sentence by Judge
J. Vanc-e Rowe to six months on
the roads, suspended on payment
of $350 fine and costs. Bond was
set at $500.
An identical sentence was
meted out to Sylvester Robinson,
a Negro from Sanford, on chsmges
of possession for sale. Officers
testified they found 28 half-gal
lon jars of whiskey in a cabin that
Kanoy had rented to Robinson,
w'hen they searched the premises
on January 27. Robinson had a
lawyer but did not take the
stand.
Kanoy testified for himself,
called character witnesses for
himself and cross-examined
state’s witnesses. He even sum
med up his case in a final argu
ment. He asserted that he didn’t
know the whiskey was hi the
cabin and wouldn’t have rented
it for that purpose.
Mrs. Vicie Sheffield, a witness
who took the stand after other
evidence was in, stated, however,
that she had seen whiskey stored
in cab-ins there before and had
seen Kanoy come out of a cabin
with a jar of whiskey under his
coat the Saturday before the raid
that brought him into court. A
heated exchange of questions and
answers ensued when Kanoy
cross-examined this ^ witness—
but, as Solicitor W. Lamont
Brown pointed out later, Kanoy’s
attack was more on the witness’s
character than her testimony.
Temporary Larceny
A charge of larceny of a dia
mond ring was reduced to tem
porary larceny, as Cecil Goodwin
of Fayetteville was sentenced to
three months on the roads, sus
pended on payment of $50 finp
and the costs. ■'
Miss Peggy Nowell, who made
a bus trip from Ohio to appear in
court, said that she had given the
ring to Goodwin to look at while
she was visiting in Carthage on
January 1 and was working that
f^ay in the restaurant operated
her aunt and uncle, Mr. and
Mrs. Martin Camell.
Goodwin, who was delivering
sott drinks to the cafe, walked
out with the ring whUe her at
tention was diverted, she testi
fied, and she did not see the
ring again. She said she waited
nearly two weeks bel^ore swear
ing out a warrant.
When he was arrested in Fay
etteville, Goodwin had quit his
delivery job. He surrendered the
ring ^ officers and said he
hadn’t meant to take it.
In passing judgment. Judge
Rowe pointed out that Goodwin
had had plenty of time to bring
the ring back. The judge directed
that the expense of Miss Nowell’s
trip be taken out of the fine. She
said her round-trip bus fare was
about $32.
