Nimocks, Jr. of Fayetteville. John Leonard Maultsby, Bill Gordon, Leona Marlow and Eliz abeth Alarlow are on trial on charges of imm.oral conduct. AIL were found guilty in recorder's court and given a year and all ap pealed. The selection of a jury for the case started Tuesday after noon and was completed shorl^ after 10:60 o’clock yesterd^ morhihg after iHWcaitte necesMT to call extra jurors. The State's evidence consisted of testimony by Officers .fFright, |piji(fTrg, Dees and M^eilL^Ebe defense did not of fer asy^ ^fideice and court re- nerday aftenvion afta arguttiipi'^j ctHfense and’ State with cSiiping argumoit for defaue and charge of judge to be heard before Out jury gets the case this moming.

All four defendants had been convicted in recorder’s court on this charge and given one year each. Bethune Maultsby was call ed by the state as first witness in the case and the state’s case fell through as a result of his evidence, or lack of it.

In a separate matter the judge ordered Bethune Alaultsby sent to the roads to serve a six-month sentence he received last year and which had-been suspended on con dition that he not get into trouble concerning liquor for five years. He had been found guilty or pleaded guilty of being dnmk and disorderly tw-ice in the past few months. In the other cases Russell Cagle, colored, was charged with mur dering John C. Black in 1944.

A mistrial was ruled ^nd a new trial was ordered. Deutsie Ervin Cannon, white man convicted of speeding 70 miles an hour in recorder’s court, got his case sent back to that court for compliance with the judgment of $25 and the costs whi^ he had appealed.
