Atlantic Pirates Suffer 5th Straight Loss at Camp Lejeune After five games the Atlantic Pi- 4 rates are still without a basketball win, their latest defeat coining at the hands of Camp Lejeune high school Tuesday night 57-46. The game was played in the spa cious fieldhousc at the Marine Corps installation. Atlantic, playing without the ser vices of their scoring ace Roger Harris, trailed the Devil Pups throughout the contest with the three-point deficit at the end of the initial period being the closest they got to the lead of the inde pendent school. The Devil Pups ran an 11-8 lead at the end of the first quarter to a margin of 11 at halftime as they left the floor ahead at 28-17. After J being outscored 17-13 in the third quarter, the Pirates outscored the Devil Pups 16-12 in the final period but the rally was not enough to overtake the Camp Lejeune quintet. Sharpshooter Bobby Nelson grabbed high point honors for the game by dumping in a total of 22 points. Next high for the Pirates was Ray Tallent with 12 points and Carroll Floyd with five. Chapman, with 13 and Landrigan with 12 were the big guns in the Devil Pup at s tack. At the free throw line the Pirates were ice-cold as they made good on only 15 of 47 attempts for a shoot ing average of only 31 per cent. Camp Lejeune meanwhile was scor ing at an average of 54.5 per cent on 12 of 22 charity shot attempts. The Pirate girls' team found themselves coming out on the short end of the score also in their game as the Devil Pup girls staved off a last second rally to preserve a one point lead and win the game 48-47. With only four seconds remaining in the contest, Atlantic got posses sion of the ball but a bad pass lost it again before the visitors could get a shot off. Atlantic displayed a well-bal anced scoring attack with Bonnie Brickhouse and Linda Taylor each i getting 16 points while Brenda Sal ter scored nine and Annis Willis had six. Brenda Salter doubled as a guard in the contest and along with Jean Bell and Jencey Mason turned in an outstanding perform ance in the back court.

Morris found no probable cause in three counts of kidnaping Tuesday against Louis Ed and Mary Willis in county re corder's court. The couple will stand trial in superior court in April on charges of forcing Negro teen-age youths to submit to inti mate relations with Mrs. Willis. Willis and his wife, who live at Tusk, were arrested last Friday after the youths told police how the pair would lure them into a car and then go to the Crab Point area and force the boys to submit to the acts. The warrants against the two originally read abduction, but this was amended in court Tuesday by the state to read kidnaping. A 14-year-old youth of Morehead City was the first witness called by the state. He told the court that on the night of Oct. 28 he was standing on the sidewalk in the block where he lives, talking to two other Negro youths when the Willises drove up and summoned him to the car. He related that he and the other boys went over to the car and Wil- ; lis asked ihem if any of them could show him and his wife the way to the Crab Point road. He added that Willis offered him a dollar if he would show them the way. The boy testified that while he was talking to the couple, Willis I ordered him to get in the car. The J boy added that the man had some thing in his hand when he ordered him into the car and that he (the youth) assumed it to be a knife. He later admitted, under cross-ex amination, that the object in Wil-; lis's hand could have been any- 1 thing, but that he assumed it to ! be a weapon. The 14-year-old told the court that he got in the car with the pair and sat in the front seat between the man and woman. He said that he showed Willis, who was driv ing, the way to the Crab Point Road but added that when they reached the road, Willis did not stop but continued past the golf course and then pulled off on a side road. He wasn't sure just where the side road was located. The you reiterated how Mr. Wil lis stopped the car, turned off the lights and told him to get in the back seat. The boy said that he got in the back seat as he was told and sat by the window on the side opposite the driver's side. The witness said that Willis reached over the front seat and tried to unfasten the belt on my pants and told me to take my clothes off." Then, according to the youth, Willis offered the boy a drink of whiskey. The boy said that he re fused the drink, but that both Mr. Willis and his wife had one. Mrs. Willis then got into the back seat of the car and "started messing with me," the youth related. He then told the court how the woman pulled up her dress and lay on the seat while both she and her hus band encouraged the boy to have relations with her. When asked if he did so, the youth replied that he did. The boy told the court that after wards. Willis drove around in the car for awhile and then returned him to his home. He said that both the man and the woman cau tioned him not to tell anyone what had happened, asked him his ad dress and told him that they would be back again sometime. The witness said that he saw the couple two more times after the initial incident. He saw them once, parked in their car in front of the Morehead City drug store, and again on the night of Dec. 1 when the couple once again proposition ed him. He testified that after the second proposition, which he refused, he told his parents of the ordeal be cause Mr. Willis had offered him $15 to go with them. Under cross-examination by C.

HEATING * IRRIGATION * FLOORCOVERING * TELEVISION * FARM EQUIPMENT CALL: FAM1I1 NIGHT: P AC-OSS MS Mmbtil City, N. C. m Artndcll St. R. Wheatly, attorney for the de-* fense. it wu revealed that the boy got into the Willis automobile on his own and made no effort to re sist the couple's proposition that he accompany them in the car. He also testified that he accepted the dollar offered to him by the Wil lises and spent it. The defense contended that no fraudulent rep resentation or inviegling was used to lure the youth into the car. The second witness called by the state was James Williams, 16, of Morehead City, who was expected to corroborate the 14-year-old's testimony. Mr. Wheatly challeng ed Williams as a witness, saying that testimony he might have re garding the incident could have no ! bearing on the charges against the Willises as stated in the warrant. Judge Morris agreed and Williams was excused as a witness. The state then called a 13-year old colored boy to the stand who was the prosecuting witness in the warrant charging the couple with felonious kidnaping at knife-point with the intent to do bodily harm. The boy told the court substan tially the same story as told by the 14-year-old with the exception ! that while he was standing by the car talking to Mr and Mrs. Willis he said that Willis opened the car door, grabbed him by the arm, thrust a knife in his side and or dered him to get into the car. The boy said that the couple took him to Cherry Point where they forced him to have relations with the woman. The 13-year old said that he cried out for help when Willis grabbed him, but Willis put his hand over his mouth and hit him in the face. The next two witnesses called were a 12-year-old boy and an 11 year-old boy. The two told how Mr. and Mrs. Willis had offered them a dollar to show them how to get to the Crab Point road. They said that they got in the car and j | directed the two to Crab Point road | but added that Willis kept on driv t ing after they reached the road. They testified that when Willis j stopped the car, they had a chance to get out of the vehicle so they did, and then ran to a nearby house for help. The house where they sought sanctuary was identified as j the home of George Ross. At this point judge Morris hand ; ed down his decision of no prob able cause on the kidnaping counts. The defendants asked for a trial by jury on charges of carnal knowl edge of the youths and the case was bound over to the April 4 term of superior court. Willis was placed under $1,500 bond for his appearance in the I high court and bond for his wife j was set at $500. Coast Guard Looks Again For Body of E. L.
