Raeford Man Testified
In Truck Deaths Trial
A Raeford man testified January
31 in a murder trial in Raleigh that
he was injured when he was struck
by a truck allegedly driven by the
defendant into a. crowd August 16
near New Hill.
The jury Friday found the de
fendant, James Carl Adams, 28, of
Rt. 1, Princeton, innocent of all
charges. He had been tried on two
counts of murder in the first degree
and four of felonious assault.
The witness, George Pittman,
said in Wake Superior Court he
had gone outside Victor's Grill on
U.S. 1 to watch two men compete
in a truck pull to see whose truck
was the strongest.
After the pull, Pittman said, he
went to talk with Dale G. Logue of
Moncure.
"The next thing I knew I was
lying on the ground," Pittman said.
"I could hear Dale (Logue) gasping
for breath. 1 heard Jennie (Logue's
wife) crying that Dale was dead."
Logue and David John Simpson
of Raleigh were killed, and Edward
Charles Herbert of Chatham
County, Michael Townsend of Red
Springs, and John Wayne Hall of
Durham, besides Pittman, were
injured.
Pittman said he suffered a
broken leg, lacerated back and a
concussion. He said his right
shoulder and arm bore tire tracks.
' Adams' defense attorney told the
jury in court before the trial started
that Adams left in his truck after
the pull ended but drove back to
the tavern to find two friends. The
-attorney said Adams "panicked"
when he heard gunshots, that he
went to the side of the seat and "he
hit people. He did not know he had
hit people and he did not know
where he was."
During the trial February 1,
Adams testified that before the
truck hit the men, a bullet hit the
truck's windshield, and he fell to
the floor. He said he wasn't in
control of the truck when it was
running into the crowd.
Ten prosecution witnesses testi
fied later that shots were fired
after, not before, Adams' truck ran
into the crowd. Witnesses testified
the defendand drove into the
people after an argument and
scuffle over whether Adams had to
pay a SI00 bet on the result of the
truck pull. They said Adams
subsequently paid the bet and
drove away. Nine said they saw
Adams' truck then turn around
and go into the crowd.
State Arts Council To Help
With Locals' Annual Drives
The state Arts Council will be
assisting community arts councils
across the state in their annual
fund drives.
The campaign will use bill
boards, newspapers, magazines,
television and radio in a three -
month effort to encourage con
tributions to the fund drives of local
arts agencies. It is expected to be
one of the biggest campaigns for
the arts ever anywhere in the
country.
One of the best aspects of the
campaign, according to Arts
Council Executive Director Mary
Regan, is that it will be conducted
at a very low cost because of space
and time contributions by the
various media and the assistance of
national personalities.
"Production of the newspaper
and magazine ad, duplicating
broadcast tapes, and a few people's
time are virtually the only costs that
we have," she said.
"Perhaps the primary focus of
the state Arts Council throughout
the years has been the support and
encouragement of community arts
agencies," Ms. Regan said, "such
as in our Grassroots Arts program
that provides funding directly to
local groups for arts programming.
"We think that this campaign
may be one of our most important
contributions yet as most local arts
councils Rear up for their fund
drives. We want to present to as
many people as possible the fact
that their investments in the arts
will be repaid in many ways,
including economic benefits for
their communities."
The use of billboards will be one
of the most visible aspects of the
campaign, with over 300 announc
ing the message, "The Arts --
Invest Now, Collect Forever." The
billboard space was contributed by
the N.C. Outdoor Advertising As
sociation and by private corpora
tions, according to Ted Cramer,
arts marketing director for the
N.C. Department of Cultural Re
sources, of which the Arts Council
is a section.
Public service announcements
sent to more than 200 radio stations
are another important feature of
the campaign. The 30 - second
radio spots, with messages sup
porting the arts, were recorded by
newsman David Brinkley, football
star Sonny Jurgensen, singer
Donna Fargo, New York Times
columnist Tom WickCTTand former
U.S. Sen. Sam Ervin. All are native
North Carolinians.
A 30 - second television an
nouncement on the same theme
was produced as a public service at
WRAL-TV in Raleigh for distri
bution to every North Carolina
television station.
Man Charged
In Pantry Heist
A Fayetteville man, charged last
week with the armed robbery of
Crossroads Grocery, was charged
Tuesday in connection with another
armed robbery earlier this month.
Police Chief Leonard Wiggins said.
Olas McPhaul, Jr., 207 of Fay
etteville, was charged with the
January 23 robbery of the Pantry on
Central Avenue.
Both robberies were by a lone
gunman around 4:30 p.m. on
consecutive Tuesdays. Police said
their investigation of the Pantry
heist turned up enough evidence to
charge McPhaul with that robbery,
also.
After being arrested last Tuesday
night, McPhaul was placed under
$50,000 bond. Bond has not been
set for the second charge.
Volunteers at Veterans Admini
stration medical centers logged
nearly 11 million hours-of service to
veterans last year. Each month,
some 100,000 volunteers are on
duty in VA health care facilities
and in community care activities.
McPhaul could draw as much as
life imprisonment from the charge
if convicted and if the maximum
sentence were imposed, Wiggins
said.
