Court
(Contiaued from Page 1)
the larceny of an automobile and
operating without driver's license.
In the cane of larceny, the judge
was without jurisdiction, and could
not, other than find probable
cause, or throw it out, dispose of
the case, but the mental condition
of the defendant was troubling the
judge and he wanted to talk to me
about the possibility of getting him
to the state hospital for examina
tion and treatment, if needed, and
his action taken in court the fol
lowing day was exactly what we
had agreed was the best thing to
do under the circumstances.
When Forechette W3S brought to
the county jail, he was brought in
to my office and, at that time, ap
peared perfectly rational. Upon
interrogation, he told me that he
was from Minneapolis, Minn., and
gave me the address where he saitl
that his parents resided. I wired
the chief of police of Minneapolis
for information abAut him.
Following a wire from Minneapo
lis reporting that Forechette was
unknown and unwanted there and
that the people riving at said ad
dress knew no one by that name,
and that was Wednesday morning,
I called in two physicians to ex
amine Forechette, one from More
head City and one from Beaufort.
Both doctors reported that they
had examined the subject and in
their opinion he was a mentally
disordered person and in need of
treatment in a mental institution.
I committed Forechette to the state
hospital in Raleigh at 9 o'clock Fri
day morning.
The News and Observer on Sun
day morning, through its editor,
tells the people of North Carolina
and other parts of the world that
Forechette is still waiting in the
Carteret county jail for relief and
points an accusing finger at the
Morehead City recorder, who had
taken a personal interest in Fore
chette and hadfr*done everything
that he possibly could da under the
circumstances.
It is my opinion, and that of all
that know him, that tbe Morehead
City recorder is one of the most
conscientious men holding such an
office in this state and that he
would leave no stone unturned to
relieve the suffering of anyone, of
any creed or color, tempering jus
tice with mercy, and all this incor
rect and unfair publicity is unde
served, and actually without foun
dation.

Lejeune 'Civilian' Makes
Major in Four Minutes i
4:20 p.m., a civilian . . . 4:22. a
first lieutenant . . . 4:24, a major.
This may read like a timetable
but actually it's the time it took
Maj. Harley L. Grant, assistant G-l
officer, to be reinstated to his pres
ent rank last week after being dis- 1
charged the previous day as a |
master sergeant.
Major Grant enlisted in the Ma
rine Corps in August 1938 and by |
February of '43 had risen to gun
nery sergeant. In September of
that year he received a temporary
commission as a second lieutenant.
In 1945 he was upped to first lieu
tenant and in '49 received his cap- 1
tains' bars, both ranks also tem- 1
porary.
The then Captain Grant received |
another promotion ? to the perma
nent rank of master sergeant ? in
January, 1950. In June he rose to
major on still another temporary
boost.
In 1949 Major Grant had applied I
for a permanent LDO (limited duty |
officer) commission in the admin
istrative field. Headquarters Ma
rine Corps gave him the choice of
accepting an LDO commission then
as a second lieutenant or waiting
until 1957 and accepting a captain
cy. The major decided to wait.
The limited duty officer rulings |
were altered in 1950 so that every
one accepted by headquarters for |
an LDO commission had to take it.
Next year Major Grant had enough I
time in to get an LDO commission |
as a first lieutenant.
But in order to accept it the ma- 1
jor had to revert to his last perma
nent rank and be discharged as a |
first lieutenant.
And in order to accept it the ma
