Judge J. C. Smith and Solicitor
1 Paul D. Roberson worked until
4:30 o’clock last Monday after
noon handling twenty cases in the

More than two hours were spent

spot in the proceedings was reach
ed when Lee Tyner, convicted of
driving a mule while he (Tyner)
was intoxicated, was fined $100
and taxed with the costs.
Attracting a veiy large number
of spectators as well as defendants
and witnesses, the court meted out
several road sentences and impos
ed fines amounting to $275.
Proceedings:
C. G. Council, charged with fail
ing to send his child to school, of

was continued for the third time

the sum of $500.
Pleading guilty of assaulting a

Cases To Be Heard

Wliit Salsbury Admits Hop

vate Properiilion
- ■ ♦
Opening a two-week mixed
term here next Monday morning
at 10:00 o'clock with Judge R.
Hunt Parker o) Roanoke Rapids
on the bench, the Martin County
Superior Court is slated to handle
at least twenty cases. Two days
have been set aside for handling
the criminal docket, and it is quite
likely that all of that time will be
needed. While there are no mur
der or manslaughter cases on the
docket, several others are almost
certain to attract large crowds.
The series of hog thefts, running
from last June almost up until
last Christmas, is certain to at
tract farmers to the court in num
bers, one report stating that some
of the farmers have already em
ployed private prosecutors in the
cases. While he is believed to have
struck at least a dozen pig pens
during about six months, Whit
Salsbury, Pitt County colored
man who formerly lived in this
county, is charged in only four
eases, officers admitting that they
have been unable to get positive
proof against the man in the
others. On July 25, Salsbury
stole two hogs valued at $65 from
David Gurganus. The next case
in which the defendant admits
his guilt originated on November
25 when he stole four hogs valued
at $200 from W O. Abbitt. About
three weeks later he stole three
pigs, valued at $51 from Reuben
Everett, and two days later he
struck Monroe Taylor’s pen steal
ing five hogs valued at $150 F’ar
mers Sam T. Everett, A. Z. Clark,
Claudia Keel, Frank Little, L.
Gardner and others lost hogs from
thgir pens, but officers have been
unable to connect Salsbury with
those thefts, and Salsbury admits
his guilt only if and when he can
not deny the charges. Salsbury,
momicking up several hogs, would
visit a pen near the road, knock
the hogs in the head, stick them
and load them in his car parked,
on the highway. He carried them
to lus home near Bethel where his j
parents helped clean and dress'
them. Several of the Monroe Tay- j
lor hogs were found in the freezer
locker at Tarboro. Arrested on,
December 19 after he was traced
by the number on his old car, Sals-1
bury denied the charges, but offie-1
ers started questioning him and
confronting him with some perti-|
nent facts and he admitted four)
thefts. As far as it can he learned 1
here, no action has been taken j
against Salsbury’s parents by Pitt
County authorities for aiding and
abetting in the illegitimate butch
ery business.
Unable to raise bond in the sum
of $1,100, Salsbury has continued,
in jail since his arrest.
The case charging George Jun
ior Jackson, young colored man,
with brutally assaulting ana near
ly cutting to death, Jimmy Crum-1
ey, Edenton taxi driver, in the is
land section of Williams Township
last January 20, is expected to at
tract much attention. Jackson was
hound over to the superior court
by Justice R. T. Johnson. Unable
to post $2,000 bond, the defendant
has been in jail since his arrest.
Then there is the larceny case
against Neal Coburn, colored man,
who stole approximately $300
from Ammie Ambrose, aged
grandmother, who has been living
virtually out of doors for some
time. Receiving aid from others,
the old woman and the other eight
members of her family are now
living in a small but new house
about three miles from Williams
ton. •

Wildlife Club
Slovens Outlines Six-Point
Program for Effeetive
Organization
Meeting in the countv com t
house last evening, members or
the Martin County Wildlife Club
elected new officers and heart:
Ross Stevens, executive so re I ary
of the North Carolina Wildlife
Federation, outline a si c-point
program for an effective organi
zation.
Don G. Matthews, Jr., of Ham
ilton, was elected president to
succeed J C. Manning H. P.
Mobley, Williamston, was 'lect
ed vice president and John Henry
Edwards was reelected secretary
treasurer.
The club will hold a meeting on
April 7 to discuss recommon la
tions to the State Wildlife Re
sources Commission which hold
a special meeting in Kinston on
April 12 to consider changes in
hunting and fishing regulations.
At the county meeting on Apul
7 the hunters and fishermen will
discuss such things as lay day;; for
rabbits, bag limits, fishing seasons
and other game regulations. The
recommendations will be submit
ted to the commission at its meet
ing in Kinston. A committee,
composed of J. C. Manning, V. J.
Spivey and H. P. Mobley, was
named by the new president to
outline a program of activities IV r
the club in this county during the
next twelve months.
Secretary Stevens stated that
there were 102 active wildlife
clubs in the State, that half of
them are making splendid prog
ress while the others are follow
ing practices that are proving in
effective, so to speak. The ineffec
tive clubs have officers and many
members, but they are not regu
lar in their meetings and the pro
grams are not well planned, the
secretary explained, adding that
he was not criticising. He went
•n .to outline six points inducive
to effective work.
The clubs must meet regularly
and the programs should be plan
ned with committees active in
various departments. The educa
tion feature must be stressed, the
state secretary suggesting that the
clubs work more closely with the
farmers and 4-H club members
and others interested in preserv
ing wildlife. More assistance is

According to information re
ceived here this week, Robert B.
Nelson, Robersonville, has started
action in the Virginia courts for
the custody of his son. The de
fendant, Mrs. Susie White Nelson,
accompanied by her sister, Mrs.
Eva K. Thomas, of Norfolk, were
here this week presumably mak

Several years ago a judgment
was entered in the court records
of this county, giving the mother
custody of the child. The plaintiff
is now asking the Virginia courts
to set that verdict aside.
Depositions were taken at a
hearing held here yesterday aft

Several Robberies
Solved When Boys
Are Detained Here
Two Lads Slated To Kilter'
Training School; Olliers
Faring Big Court
--*
: A series of petty robberies and
! thefts was solved this week when
■ four teen-age colored boys were
arrested and detained by the
| courts and Juvenile Judge L. B.
Wynne.
Apparently prompted more by
meanness than by actual want or
necessity, the boys are involved in
several robberies, including ones
at Ridley’s pool room several
months ago. Sunny Side Inn sev
eral weeks ago, and more recent
ly at the Williamston Parts and
Metal Company’s junk yard on
West Main Street and tin- Hitch
ing Post on Sycamore Street.
The little crime wave blew out
when the four hoys, Willie Frank
Deans and Jimmy Watts, both 17
years old, and James Earl Felton
and Louis Moore, both 15, alleged
ly broke into the junk yard and
stole eight used batteries, and
just a few days later returned
them to the yard themselves for
sale to the original owner. The
batteries were purchased for the
second time and the transaction
was reported to local police who
rounded up the two older boys
within a short time. They involv
ed the other two, and questioning
uncovered the other robberies.
Very little was stolen from any
of the places, the boys barely es
caping with a few packs of cigar
ettes when they broke into Sunny
Side Inn.
Louis Freeman, 17, and a delin
quent who has been before the
courts at more or less regular in
tervals during the past six years,
was involved in'the pool ruym
robbery.
At a preliminary hearing be
fore Judge J. C. Smith in the coun
ty court last Monday, Deans and i
Watts waived examination and I
they were bound over to the -v '
penor court for trial next week.
Bends were required in the sum
of $300 each.
Carried before Judge Wynne
Tuesday, Felton and Moore were|
booked for a stay at the Huffman I
correctional school for boys. They
were released into the custody of
relatives until next Monday when
they are to testify for the State in
the cases against the other boys.

Pool Room Operator Loses
License For Period Of
Three Months
Breaking into the public when
four teen-agers were arrested for
breaking unci entering and lar
ceny. juvenile delinquency was
climaxed last Tuesday night when
two youths and a pool room opera
tor were carried before Mayor
Robert Cowen.
James Ridley, charged with per
mitting minors to loiter around
and play pool in his pool room on
JainesviJle Street, had his license
to operate such a business revoked
for three months. Ridley, admit
ting that minors had entered his
place of business, maintained that
they did so without his know
ledge, that he had posted a sign,
advising minors they were not al
lowed in the place. He pleaded at
length, explaining to the mayor
that he would lose his means of
livelihood if the license should be
revoked. Mayor Cowen told Rid
ley that it was the third charge
that had been lodged against him,
that the law had tried to go along
with him, but "there is no alter
native now except to revoke the
license," the mayor said. Ridley
asked the mayor to give the judg

the higher courts.
Louis Freeman, charged with
loitering around the pool room,
was sentenced to the roads for
thirty days, Mayor Cowen ex
plaining to the defendant that ho
(Freeman) had been a regular vis
