Former war refugees in the

they no longer need help. It took
8 years to make their farms self-
supporting, during which time
CARE provided $20,528 in food,
farm tools, grain, bullocks and
fruit tree seedlings for the 160

Moore county’s first and only
“racial incident’’ since the civil
rights bill became law termina
ted Monday without fireworks
in Moore recorders court at Car
thage.
Charges of deadly-weapon as
sault brought against Frank
Brown and James Bray, young
white men of Robbins, by two
Negro youths were dismissed on
grounds of insufficient evidence.
No satisfactory identification of
the assailants was ever made, ac
cording to Judge J. Vance Rowe.
The assault took place Sunday,
July 5, in a diner operated by
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Enloe on NC
705, a mile and a half east of
Robbins. ’The Negro youths en
tered and gave their order for
food, which was taken without
protest and was being prepared
for them when, according to
their testimony, they were at
tacked from the rear, as a baby’s
high chair was swung or thrown
at them. Both were hurt on the
back of the head and shoulders,
and the lip of one of them was
cut necessitating three stitches.
The case was first called last
Monday, and was continued then
on request of the defense attor
ney, who had to be in another
court at that time. However, one
of the prosecuting witnesses,
Donald Brower, 20, of New York
City, came into court, anxious to
give his testimony and return to
his job. Judge Rowe allowed him
to do so. The other prosecuting
witness, Otis Brower, 17, of Rob
bins, gave his testimony this
Monday.
Donald Brower, who had tes
tified without cross-examination,
which his lawyer protested this
Monday, had identified Brown
as his assailant. Otis Brower
identified Braw as his. Yet there
had been no evidence that there
was any weapon used other than
the high chair, or that it was
wielded more than once.
Deputy Sheriff I. D. Mar ley.
arriving some time after the inci
dent, said Donald Brower had
been able to make no positive
identification then “because no
one asked me to.” State Trooper
Tommy Clark, who had also come
to the scene, couldn’t be in court
Monday at all. Proprietor Enloe
said he had been in the kitchen
and had seen nothing of the hap
pening. Mrs. Enloe, working in
the kitchen and also cashiering,
said she came in only in time to
see “the high chair fly through
the air” but didn’t see who threw
it. The restaurant was crowded,
she said but “everyone cleared
out” immediately after the as
sault and were gone when the
officers got there. Just one, Boyce
Dunlap, had been subpoenaed
and he didn’t show up in court,
sending instead a doctor’s certifi
cate that he was sick.
Brown and Bray did not take
the stand, a matter on which
Judge Rowe commented in no
ting that “there was strong sus
picion of them” even though the
attack could not be definitely
pinned on either. Said the judge,
“I know this cannot be held
against you but I have always
felt that if I were accused of a
crime I did not commit, I wouldy
break my neck to get on the
stand and deny it.”
Overruling three motions by
defense counsel Dock G. Smith
(to dismiss as to both defendants,
to dismiss as to James Bray, to
declare a baby’s high chair not a
deadly weapon) Judge Rowe ask
ed for arguments based on the
weight of evidence, and on their
conclusion agreed with attorney
Smith that there was not enough,
circumstantial or otherwise.
Said the Judge, “There is no
evidence before the court as to
whether there was one lick or
two licks, and if just one lick, it
is not clear who made it. Assum
ing it was one of the defendants,
which must be strongly suspect
ed, it is not clear to which one it
was. 'The only thing certain is
that the two Brower boys were
hit with the chair. I have no
choice but to find both the de
fendants not guilty.”
Only passing reference was
made to the racial nature of the
incident in Solicitor W. Lamont
Brown’s argument, in which he
urged that the court “let the peo
ple know this sort of thing won’t
be tolerated in Moore—this is not
a situation we asked for, but one
are bound to deal with in
justice and under the law.”
Defense Council Smith also
noted that “this thing had got
blown up ’way out of proportion,
and at first had caused rumors of
race riots and people killed and
injured at the diner.”

Andy Faircloth, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Worth Faircloth was badly
hurt in a bike-auto accident on
Tuesday afternoon, July 14.
Andy, who had been visiting his
friend, Jeff Stevens, was pedall
ing his bike downhill on the road
behind the Pinehurst Livery
Stables toward the Pinehurst
Laundry when his uncle, Elbert
Faircloth, turned left from an ac
cess road and the two met head-
on.
Andy suffered multiple inju
ries to his left leg and will be in
a cast for the remainder of the
summer. He is a patient at St.
Joseph’s Hospital in room 446 and
would be delighted to receive
cards and visits.
Incidentally, young Andy cele
brated his 11th birthday on Mon
day, July 20, in his hospital room
with his parents. He hopes to be
allowed to complete his convales-
cense in his home very soon.
HEART VICTIMS
During World War I and II,
344,959 Americans were killed
in battle, but during one year
alone (1963), almost three times
as many American men, women,
and children died of heart and
blood vessel diseases. That’s why
the North Carolina Heart Asso
ciation calls the fight against
heart disease the number one
health priority.
