9ROAMIN DAVIE
AND VKINITY
with MACK McKA
Yesterday when I was sorting oat some old papers
and dippings of daily columns of the past, and throwing
some of them in a waste basket, the head of one column
"hit me between 'the eyes", so I saved it.
The head said: "A trip to Cookemee and MocksyiDe
is always a colorful adventure", so I thought ft might
be a good idea for a column in the Hurley boys' papers
in Davie County
I used to spend one day a week up in Davie and
always enjoyed the trip ... Friend Ralph Miller of the
Salisbury Post is now doing a much better job 19 there
than 1, because be spends more time with these good.
people
The above Davie column dealt with me covering the
sensational trial of a Wilkes County man in Davie Superior
Court, with Judge Hoyle Sink presiding. The defendant
was being tried for his life, but I don't remember the
charge.
The defendant had two polished Wilkes and Winston-Salem
lawyers and a lawyer from Mocksville ... the out-of-town
lawyers kept disregarding Judge Sink's warnings against
them "taking over the trial," by repeating questions after
the judge had over-ruled them.
I knew what was going ito happen, when Judge Sink
belted his desk with his gavel several times.
There was a long silence ... then Judge Sink delivered
a five minute oration, the likes of which I had never
heard in a court room.
He did net raise his voice, but his satire and stern
wit cut like a knife I wrote it down, word for word,
and used it in my Post i'ory, then put the clipping away
among my souvenirs in my desk. It was the "best put"
advice to over-dressed and to-zealous lawyers I ever heard.
Suffice it to say the* the trial moved along smoothly,
in regular and orderly fashion thereafter.
Now, my memory is hazy many times at age 77
and I would like to clear up some details of that trial.
Does anybody in Davie County know the name of
that defendant, and what was the charge against him,
and what was the verdict. It must have taken place in
the late 1940 s or the early 'so's.
If so please write me at, Mack McKa, 217 East Ryder
Avenue, Landis, N. C. Zip 28088.
