Youth Befriended
Here Comes Back
After Prison Term
The inteVest that the late Po
lice Chief C. E. Newton took in
a young \ man who was sent to
prison after an arrest for break
ing and entering and larceny here
in September, 1959, brought him
back Tuesday on his release from
prison—to learn with shock and
sadness that the. admired police
officer who had befriended him
was dead.
Johnny Hinshaw of Miami, Fla.,
who will be 19 years old June 1,
gained his freedom , Tuesday
morning, having served 17 months
of a two to three year term meted
out in Moore County Superior
Court in November, 1959. He was
one of a group of four young per
sons, two boys and two girls, who
were arrested here for breaking
into St. Anthony’s rectory and
taking a small amount of money
there. The four admitted that they
had wandered the country for
months in an automobile, taking
part in a number of other such
break-ins.
Hinshaw was released after 17
months because of time off for
good behavior. He had been
studying in a prison clerical
, school at Camp Polk near
i Raleigh, where he served most of

Candidates For
Council Enlist
Public Support
Citizens of Southern Pines will
vote Tuesday, May 2, to elect five
town councilmen from a slate of
10 candidates. The five elected,
will then choose the mayor from
their number.
The polling place at the fire
station on New Hampshire Ave.
will be open from 6:30 a. m. to
6:30 p. m. Registration for the
election closed Saturday of last
Iweek, prior to a primary election
held on Monday.
Purpose of the primary was to
reduce a slate of 11 candidates to
10, as local election laws require
that a primary be held if there
are more than 10 candidates Cor
the five council seats. Each voter
was asked to vote for five, candi
dates on Monday.
Because it developed on elec
tion day that one of the 11, Wil
fred E. Weldon, was not a quali
fied candidate, since he was not
'a registered voter, the 10 names
j to appear on Tuesday’s ballot for
councilmen will be those of tb.i
10 other candidates, although
two of these candidates, Tom
I O’Neil (31 votes) and Ronald J.
Pallazzetti (42 votes) polled few
er votes than did the disqualified
man who had 69. If Weldon had
not been disqualified, O’Neil
would have been the candidate
eliminated. A total of 522 persons
j voted on Monday.
