Dry Law Offender
Again In Trouble
Charged with a second violation |
of the Turlington Act while out
on bail awaiting trial In Superior
Court for an alleged first offense.
Freeman Hassell, colored, living
on Factory street, was sentenced
to four months In jail In record- ,
er's court Monday morning as the j
aftermath of a police foray on his
home early Sunday night.
OfTlcers testified they found I
about a gallon of liquor In the I
house, adding that Hassell's wife, j
Martha, was caught In the act of
(trying to hide one fruit Jar of li
quor under the bed clothe*. She
was fined $5 and costs, being let
ofT somewhat lightly because of
the court's belief that Hassell him
self was the principal offender,
and because, too, she was in deli
cate health.
Hassell noted an appeal, and
was sent to Jail In default of $250
bond. He drew a four months'
sentence after having been found
guilty after a similar police raid
several weeks ago. In which a con-'
siderahle quantity of liquor was j
declared to have been found hid- ?
den beneath a stairway In his (
home. The latest raid was staged,
l by Chief of Police Holmes and Of
ficers Harris and Roughton.
i When they made their latest ,
visit, the police stated they found,
a number of colored men In the I
house. Klasses on the table, and |
other indications that Hassell was.
running a "speakeasy" for thirs
ty fellow members of his race.
There Is much visiting at the Has
sell home by both men and wo

fined $5 and costs upon submis
sion on a charge of being drunk.

OTTO WOOD $500
| TO BE DIVIDED
And Effort Made to Extra
dite One-Armed Outlaw
from Terre Haute
Raleigh. Feb 14. ? (AP) ? .First
step for return of Otto .Wood,
North Carolina's one-armed out
law, was taken today when George
Pou, State prison superintendent,
presented papers to Governor Mc
Lean for his signing, extraditing
the notorious criminal from Indi
ana.
Mr. Pou was assured of tho
Goverr^or's signature to the papers
! before 'he presented them. The su
I perintendent did not plan to go to
Terre Haute, Indiana, personally,
to present the papers to the In
diana governor.
If the Hoosler governer honors
the papers. Wood will he returned
to prison here after his third es
cape. His last jallbreak here oc
curred lait November.
The 9500 offered by North Car
olina for Wood's return will be
left . to Indiana authorities to
award, Mr. Pou said. It appeared
from here likely that the amount
would be split between the drug
' gist in Terre Haute who shot
Wood down last month when he
| attempted single-handed robbery
i of a drOg store and the officers
'who made his arrest a little later.
Wood's record, photograph, fin
gerprints, description. charges
against him and alias, were re
ceived from the Indiana jail by
authorities here.
Charges against the notorious
criminal, since his confinement
here December, 1923, for murder
of A. fy". Kaplan, Greensboro
| pawnbroker, include: Three es
capes from State* prison here, add
ed to his record of two escapes
from Ohlb and Tennessee Jails
previously; violation of the na
tional auto theft act and the Vir
ginia theft law; attempt to rob
and asfttUlt wtth a deadly weapon
under Indiana law.
It Is understood here Wood
will waive extradition and return
rather than face 30 years sen
tence on thd two Indiana charg- '
es. 1
Mr. Pou said he felt certain the i
other charges against him would I
not be pressed, that he had been
advised the Federal Government j
would stand aside and that North '
Carolina would have prior right I
although Wood had escaped from
Ohio and Tennessee Jails before
his conviction here.
Whether Wood, however, ac
tually would fight extradition at
the last moment remained to be
determined in Indiana.
