ow Heard Here Saturday
James Ramsey, Defendant,
Bound Over To October
Term
More than 3 hours were con
sumed here Saturday morning in
a preliminary hearing involving
conduct at the California Creek
(Township 6) polling place dur
ing and after the Primary Election
on May 30th.
The hearing, held before Justice
of the Peace Wade Huey, grew out
of charges against James . Ram
sey, of the California Creek com
munity, by Novilo Hawkins and
Clate Grindstaff, also of the same
community. In all, there were 10
charges against Ramsey, who was
represented by Attorney Joseph
B. Huff. Attorney A. E. Leake
represented the plaintiffs.
The hearing began when Leake
moved that the warrants be amend
ed. Huff objected. Huey overrul
ed the objection and stated the
hearing would be held under the
amended warrants.
Clate Grindstaff, a deputy- sher
iff, was the first witness and tes
tified that he twas requested by
several to act as peace officer at
the California Creek polling place
on May 30th. He also stated that
the defendant, James Ramsey,
"seemed upset and emotional"
meat of the day. It was later re
vealed that Ramsey stayed at the
polling place practically all day
taking a "head count" of voters as
they entered the polling place.
Grindstaff testified that the polls
closed at 6:30 o'clock and when
the election officials announced
the number of names in the Poll
book, that Ramsey; got mad and
said that the election was crook
ed. Soon thereafter, he (Grind
staff) was ordered to escort Ram-

N. C. State Board
Finding. Ilan.t Av
Certification
The N. C. Board of Elections
Monday tossed out voting returns
cast in six precincts in this coun
ty's May 30 primary balloting for
state Senate.
The returns were called "f raudu-
t," supporting the board's ear-
r ruling that tiie loser, Ulyda
orton of Old Fort should be con
sidered winner.
The new tally would cost Zeoo
Ponder 1,164 votes and the Demo
cratic nomination for state sena
tor in the 34th District.
It would give the nomination to
.in
a a- :
N
Norton by a margin of 467 votes,
nearly the margin he had a
ently lost by in the VlflHH
roary.
"The facte before the board in
this case go far beyond a showing
of innocent errors," Chairman Wflr
Ham Joslin said in spelling out its
findings.
The board conducted a series of
hearings on fraud charges brought
by Norton, Old Fort furniture deal-
after Ponder won an apparent
400-vote victory.
The Madison

ton received 221 votes while Ponl
der received 4,163 in Madison
County. First returns Indies
that Norton received 818 and ffl
der 6,269 in Madison wunty.
The board said it found evidenc
that Madison elections officials
participated in voting irregulari
ties, including ballot-box stuffing
and deliberate hiding of records.
"In this case the deliberate con
cealment of the poll books for the
entire county, combined with other
acts of the officials in tl
precincts', is sufficient evident
official participation in the
ing of fraudulent Mots to war
rant throwing out the contesseu'
boxes," the board ruled.
"The discrepancies shown be
tween the number of voters who
actually went to the polls and the
ballot tallies as reported "must be
viewed in light of the officials'
misconduct."
