-yv? " i a i rur iviju ? v eraici Reversed As Victim Pays Costs For Defendant Johnny Lee Scott of Shannon was tried for assault with a deadly weapon, found guilty of the lesser charge of assault and then was brought back before the court Friday to hear the verdict reversed and the charges dismissed. Scott was accused by Don Holland of attacking him as Holland sat in his car and of cutting him behind the ear. Holland testified that it was "just a scratch." He said he did not see what was in Scott's hand but that it was "something sharp." Scott told the court that he and Holland had fought and that he had hit Holland "about two times." Scott said he did not have anything in his hands. District Court Judge Joseph Dupree, on hearing the evidence, found Scott not guilty of assault with a deadly weapon but guilty of the lesser included offense of simple assault. Scott was sentenced to 30 days suspended and fined SSO and costs. Dupree granted his request to pay the costs that day and to pay the fine within 30 days of the trial. As Scott left the court room, to pay his fine, Judge Dupree announced a brief recess and, with obvious disgust, said: "I've seen everything in this court now. The prosecuting witness just gave the defendant the money to pay his court costs. I've a good mind to bring Scott back here and fine him not guilty. "Sheriff, bring Johnny Scott back here." When Scott was returned to the courtroom, Judge Dupree directed this verdict. "As the prosecuting witness walked by the defendant to leave court, the prosecuting witness gave to the defendant the sum of $20 with which to pay cost of court in this action. The court, feeling that the prosecuting witness and one Johnny Lee Scott, the defendant, are in fact guilty of engaging in an affray in which the court has no way of knowing who struck the first blow, feels that perhaps the court erred in the above verdict. Therefore, the court reverses itself and directs a verdict of not guilty." "And, as far as I'm * concerned," he told Scott, "I don't care if you ever give that money back to the prosecuting witness." Kenny Chavis of Rt. ], Recj Springs, was found not guilty of assault with a deadly weapon after the prosecuting witness asked not to testify Mrs. Maryvell Chavis, his wife Mid she did not want to' prosecute her husband because of our children and the farm. The couple have been married 34 y?rs she said, and this was the first time she had charged him with assault. Judge Dupree ordered her jailed for frivolous and malicious prosecution until the costs of court were paid. Chavis paid the costs for his wife immediately. n3neit ^Wis Bratc'her of j rd pleaded guilty to red,?g 55 taa45?,ph>? la.lmg ,o ,;?mp|v W||h restrictions on his license.

H oke ighlights by Debbie Anderson This week was exceptionally short as schools were dismissed Wednesday for Easter holidays. The students at H.H.S. have nearly a week to do what pleases them the most. The Student Council sponsored a dance Wednesday during sixth period. All proceeds from the dance go to Leonard Training School. On behalf of the Student Body, I would like to congratulate Beth Jordan on being chosen a representative to Governor's School this summer. Beth will participate in the field of science. I would like to remind all the students at H.H.S. of the devotion program held every Wednesday morning by members of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. These devotions are held at eight o'clock in the Hoke High cafeteria. Tuesday night, the Hoke High Chorale under the direction of Mrs. Mary Archie McNeill presented a spring concert for the Women's Club. The concert was a mixture of modern and classic music. Members of the National Honor Society will leave t riday to attend the State Convention in Durham. The new state officers will be elected and we have as our representative Anderson Hottetler, who is seeking the office of vice - president. Let's hope they return Sunday triumphant! The All State Choral Festival will be held in Greensboro April fifteenth and sixteenth. The Chorale and Chorus members are busy learning their music so they will be able to go! On behalf of the students at Hoke High I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Faster and we hope that the true meaning of Easter will not be forgotten! DA Form Needed For Special Pass WASHINGTON (ANF) ? Although you no longer i)eed to sign out on a regular paaa during off-duty houra, if you're going on a special paia during duty houra you need to fill out and have signed a DA Form 31 (Re quest and Authority for Leave). Limitations on special pasaea require that they will not exceed 72 houra from the hour of departure from your post or station to th? hour of your return. That alao meana you cant combine special passes with ? public holiday or with sa off-duty weekend. This Is The Law LIENS This U the first of a spring series of articles which will appear weekly during the next three months. They nave been written for the non ? lawyer as a public service of the North Carolina Bar Association. ? ? ? Smith takes his watch to a jeweler for repair. Nothing is said at the time about the payment. When Smith returns for the repaired watch, the jeweler informs him that the cost is fifteen dollars. If Smith refuses to pay, may the jeweler continue to keep the watch? Yes. If a person requests another to perform services for him, there is an implied contract to pay a reasonable price for the services rendered. If there is a dispute as to the reasonableness of the price, the dispute may be litigated in the courts. If a worker or artisan has in his possession the personal property of another on which he has performed requested services, he has a right to retain the property as security for the payment of his services. Lawyers call this right a "possessory lien." This particular lien may be created without an agreement of the parties. It arises by operation of law out of a custom which arose many years ago and has been made a part of our common law. This explains why many repairmen do not require compensation in idvance for services rendered sr materials added to personal property in accordance with the owner's request. ? ? ? How does a repairman snforce his lien on personal property which he has made or iltered at the request of mother? ^ The statutes of North rarolina permit the repairman :o sell by his own act at public tuction, without Intervention if a judicial proceeding, the property for the purpose of snforcing the lien. There are :ertain details to be followed n the publishing and giving of lotice of sale. An attorney ihould be consulted for advice. ? ? ? Does a warehouseman have a ien for storage charges? Yes. There is a statute in "forth Carolina which gives to a warehouseman a lien on goods n storage. The Supreme Court of Jorth Carolina has held that he Statute applies only to >ersons or firms who operate warehouses as a business for :ompensation, and not to solated instances in which ;oods are stored in a store or >uilding of the claimant. The warehouseman must be one who holds himself out to the >ublic as being in the warehouse business. Sutton Attends ESEA Seminar Ernest R.
