$3,000 BOND* REQUIRED
Four-Year-Old ChUd Is Victim of Al
leged Asaault; Happened
Last Tuesday
a
Citisens of Goose Nest township
were greatly disturbed and very much
excited last Tuesday evening when it
was reported that Elijah Grfce, sev
enteen-year-old Negro, attempted a
criminal assault upon Edna Earl
Craft, the four-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Craft of the Oak
City section. Grice was arrested by
Officer G. D. Pearson late Tuesday
about eight milea from where the as
sault charged was committed. The
officer placed the boy in the Oak City
jail, but fetring for the prisoner's
safety when a crowd began to form,
he and Mr. J. W. Hines brought him
here for safe keeping.
A preliminary hearing waa given'
the boy bere Wednesday before Jus
tice of the Peace John L. Hassell who
bound the prisoner over to the su
perior court convening here next week
under a SB,OOO bond. (
Dr. E. E. Pittman, testifying at the
hearing, stated that he was called to
the Craft home Tueaday evening and
found the little girl sleeping. Con
tinuing, he said that Mrs. Craft, the
child> mother, asked him to examine
the little girl and then she explained
to him what the child had told her.
The doctor called the child and ask
ed her what happened, the little girl
repeating the story told to her
mother. He concluded his testimony
by stating that he found some minor
bruisea, but discovered no injuriea af
a permanent nature.
Dr. Wm. E. Warren, county health
office, called in the caae for a con
sultation and to examine the child,
substantiated Dr. Pittman'a evidence
relative to the physical condition of
the Child.
Edna Earl Craft was questioned
but she made no statement, apparent
ly too excited by the crowd attending
the hearing to tell of the affair.
Mr. B. F. Craft, father of the girl,
stated that he noticed the boy was
restless when he returned from the
mail box where the assault was aaid
to have occurred. He knew nothing
of the trouble at that time, however,
and as he left home he failed to learn
about the affair until told by his
wife upon his return. He immediately
went to Oak City for the officer, and
arrest was made a short while later.
According to the story told by Mr.
Craft, the boy told the little girl he
would get her some grapes near the
mail box. Mr. Craft further stated
that the child returned to the house
crying, stating that Elijah had hurt
her. He told the story of the little
girl.
Elijah Grice, the accused, asked
that he be pemittomd to testify. He
stated that he and his mother work
ed on the Harrell, farm several miles
from o*k City, and was employed by
Mr. Craft a part of the time. Hp
had worked in tobacco until about 1
o'clock that day and tried to And
grapea for the girl near the mail box.
He atatod he tpas accompanied by
Willie McLean, young colored boy,
that while they searched for grapes
the child remained at the mailbox.
He denied touching the child, stat
ing that he gave her the pan and the
mail from the box when ahe waa
ready to return to the house.
Jane Grice, the mother of the ac
cused, stated that she waa at the
Craft home when Edna returned from
the mail box, that the child waa all'
right and came in laughing. She stat
ed that the two remained from the
houae longer than she expected they
would when they left to search for
the grapes. It was pointed out that
ahe called the boy while he was
searching for the grapea.
Grice, according to hia statements,
waa born in Hajrmaa, S. C. July 1,
1912. Leaving South Carolina, they
lived in Chad bourne, Wilson, Rocky
fiount and Virginia, moving to the
Harrell farm about a year ago. Grice
is apparently above the average in
intelligence and is marked for hia ap
pearance,

FARMERS MEET
IN EDGECOMBE
400 Hold Round-Table Dis
[ cussions of Tobacco
Marketing
Meeting In' Tarboro last Wednes
day 400 Edgecombe County fanners
.held round-table discussions relative
to the tobacoo 'marketing condition
. and the prioefc received for tha crop.
A number of speeches were main, the
spokesmen centering their talks on
the cooperative marketing plan." To
ward that and the meeting passed a
resolution, reading, "Resolved, That
a state-wide tobacco coepefative
marketing aseociation should be or
ganised at th% -aariiest possible mo-
Snent to handle the tobacco of the
tobacco belt and that a committee be
appointed by this body to meet in
Raleigh with other organisations to
plan a mode of action."
. According to a report of tha meet
ing appearing in the Tarbero Daily
Southerner, the resolution met with
the heaty approval of the entire as
sembly, and that a fine spirit waa
manifested by the group.
That the pteaent. low prices being
paid for the tobacoo crop are bring
ing about action in all parts of the
belt is evidenced by meetings here
and there and reports of plans. At
Kinston, a report states that details
of - a new plan to help the tobscco
growers have been given Representa
| tive C. L. Aberaethy, of the Third
j District, and J. C. Stone, of the
I Federal Farm Board, by the origina
tors there. The plan haa not been di
j vulged. Abernethy is said to have de
clared that he will make it the basis
for a bill in Congress, Stone to have
been "deeply interested."
Under the plan, the report con
tinues, methoda of taxing tobacco
would be changed. The government
might be a nominal loser under it and
the manufacturers would lose slight
ly while growers would benefit ma
terially. The originators, whose names
are being withheld pending announce
ment of the details claim it might
mean the "return of 50-cent tobacco."

uous docket made up of murder, em
besslement, seduction, assault, house
breaking, attempted rape and other
cases coming under the criminal head.
In addition to the large criminal doc
ket ,the Martin County Bar associa
tion haa acheduled thirty-two civil
caaes for trial.
According to reports coming from
the courthouse here, the trial of
criminal esses will take up practically
if not all of the flrst week of the two
weeks term. The flrst of the civil
cases is scheduled for hearing Mon
day of the second week.
of the 37 criminal cases
were placed ion the suptrior docket |
through appeals from judgments
paaaed in the recorder's court. Two
of the remaining casea were placed
on the calendar by Judge J. W. Bailey
when he bound the defendants over
from hia court. Warranto were iasu
ed in eight instances and ten of the
caaea were continued at the June
term of court Excluding the last
June term docket, the one prepared
for next week and the week after l>
among the largest ever to be handled
in thia county.
The docket ia made up of one em

with intent to kill, one aiding and

caae.
The case charging John Sawyer
with murder, is the center of interest.
The time for holding the trial has
not been announced, aome believing
that the caae will be called early In
the week. Sawyer shot and killed J.
I. Britton, Cross Roads farmer, the
Mth of July. Thirty minutes aftot
the shooting, Sawyer was in the cus
tody of Sheriff C. B. Roebuck, who
placed the kller in the local jail.
While the officer was effecting the
capture of Sawyer, Coroner S. R.
Biggs started an investigation which
resulted in the arrest of Sawyer's
wife who with her husband haa been
held in jail here in default of bond.
According to the fact* given by
eye-witneeees to the killing) Mr. Brit
ton was priming tobaeco with P. S.
Ambroee and Harvey Jenkins in a
Aeld near the Sawyer home. The
three men had worked to the end of
the row and were turning in another
when Sawyer raised from hiding in
a hedge-row and leveld his gun on
Britton. Without warning the gun's
losd waa Ardd, the Arst shot causing
death, it ia believed. Mr. Britton ran
down between the rows of tobacco
and when a short distance away he
toned his head to took back, Sawv.
yer having reloaded his gun, firing
again on the man. Mr. Britton ran a 1
few yards farther and dropped dead.
The other parties working in the
Aeld st the time feared for their
.safety and backed away, but saw
Sawyer go to the dead body, reload
hia gun and paaa oh. It ia aaid the
killer wfcnt to his home, placed hia
gun in its rack and departed, instruct
ing his wife to tell officers, if they
should come for him, that he would
be found in a certain spot, half a mile
away. Sheriff Roebuck went to the
back of the Held, and after calling,
Sawyer answered and surrendered.
Sawyer, a native of Hyde county, Is
88 years old. He married Fannie
Roberson, of this county, nine years
ago. Since that time they have lived
in Henderson, Winston-Salem, Beau
fort county, and in this county. He
was at the Burroughs farm, near

PERJURY CASE
BEING HEARD
—® —
Ne £io Lawyer's Trial Be
ing Held in Edenton
This Week
The l'hilip E 'coffery trial, charging
subornation of a witness, Lem
Pritchard in the Miller murder case
in Windsor several months ago, to
commit perjury is still in progress
at Edenton today.
At the conclusion of the testifnony
by state's witnesses the defense en
tered a motion for dismissal, but
Judge Sinclair, trial judge, did not
rule on the motion, saying he would
hear the entire case before passing
on the questions of law involved in
the matter.
The negro lawyer went on the
stand this morning in his own behalf
saying that the Lem Pritchard affi
davit was Pritchard's own language. -
C. D. Carstarphen, of this place,
before whom Pritchard signed the
affidavit stated that he did not admin
ister the oath to Pritchard. Cleo An
drews, colored woman of this place,
stated the affidavit was read over to,
Pritchard.
The defense is centering its fire
directly in the face of Pritchard in
an effort to break down his testi
mony, according to a report of the
court's proceedings this morning.
The defense is also attempting to
gain a legal point on the important
question as to what constitutes per
jury, claiming that prejury can be
committed only in cases at issue in
court, and that there was nothing
before the court at the time the af
fidavit was written and Higned.
While the court has not given a
hint as to its views on the legal as
pect of the case, the weight of
opinion seems to indicate that the
judge will allow it to go to the
jury.

Tenants All Over Belt Reported to be
Throwing Up Crops, As They See
No Prospects of "Paying Out"
With prices confciauißg low, fafm
ers are marketing the tobacco crop
very slowly, practically all the mar
kets in the belt reporting light sales
this week. Sales for the week in
cluding today's are expected to reach
-the 450,000 pound mark, selling for
an average price per pound of about
12 cents.
Sales for the first four days this
week totalled 328,000 pounds and sold
for $39,288. The average price re-,
ceived on the local market last Tues
day was $13.23, » there being little
change in the price since that day.
According to reports coming from the
market here today, prices on the bet
ter grades were reported stronger
than those of yesterday.
Warehousemen are uging the
growers to keep their tobacco as dry
and in as good a condition as pos
sible.
The prevailing low prices every
where continue to discourage the
growers who are hardpressed in meet
ing their obligations coming due at
thin time. In anticipation of a fair
price for their crop, many of the
growers borrowed money to run their
farms, and they are now finding it
impossible to pay out under the ex
isting conditions.
According to reports, tenants all
over the belt have abandoned their
crop and turned to look for work that
they might expect a weekly income.
Many of them have drawn more on
their crop than it is selling for, and
the owners, in many cases, are be
ing forced to stop advances.
The situation is-a baffling one, and
no body seems to be in a position to
even hint what might be expectde in
the future,.
