Woolrich, 18, both of route 1 More
head City, and Michael Trcst, 17,
Morehead City. Sheriff Robert Bell
said each has posted $300 bond for
appearance in county court Tues
day.
Recovered by Newport police
chief Dan Bell and the sheriff’s de
partment Monday night, Sept. 10,
were accessories taken from two
vehicles Sunday night, Sept. 9.
Recovered were tail lights and
license plate hangers from a 1956
OJdsmobile and an exhaust pipe
and dashboard panel from a trac
tor. The Oldsmobile had been in
volved in a wreck and was parked
* near the Newport school next to
highway 70 when parts disappeared
from it Sunday night, Sept. 9.
The parts were taken from the
tractor, parked at Newport Trac
tor and Equipment Co., Saturday
night, Sept. 8, according to chief
Bell.
The parts were recovered from
a service station west of More
head City, and are now in the pos
session of the sheriff, according to
the Newport chief.
Because the stolen goods was
outside the town of Newport, the
Newport officer went to the sher
iff’s department late Monday night,
Sept. 10. and asked the sheriff to
get a search warrant.
Armed with the warrant, the
sheriff, deputy C. 11. Davis and
chief Bell went to the home of the
operator of the service station.
Chief Bell said the operator went
, to the station, opened the room at
the rear of it and there chief Bell
identified the items taken from the
tractor and car.
The sheriff said the three tnen
apprehended have been charged
with a series of thefts extending
over a period of time. One of the
trio would pull a job one night, two
the next time and the “work” was
thus apportioned among them.
A blower taken from state high
way equipment on The Hibh,s road
, was found in Woolrich’s car, the
sheriff said. It was destined to be
used on a “hot rod.” A block from
an engine taken from the Highway
70 garage, Newport, operated by
Frank Pittman, was found in the
woods, Sheriff Bell reported.
The thefts include gasoline and
acetylene torch parts taken from
Radio Island, and other car equip
ment stolen from Parker Motors,
Willie Gray’s junk yard, Morehead
City, and Kenneth McCabe’s ga
rage, Camp Glenn.
The sheriff said Ingram is charg
ed with stripping four tires, mani
fold, generator and -other equip
ment from a Chevrolet stolen in
August from the beach. The car
was driven west of Salter Path
where it was stuck in the sand.
Skin diving equipment in the car
was also stolen.
That was recovered as well as
other accessories. The car was
owned by Frank G. Smith, Green
* ville. The sheriff said that the car
was ruined by sand being thrown
in the gas tank and in the motor,
but Ingram denies that he is res
ponsible for that.
Chief Bell said that Ingram ad
mitted smashing a side window,
with a pop bottle, out of a Rambler
parked at Newport. The Rambler
was involved in the same wreck
as the 11)56 Oldsmobile from which
parts were taken.

• David E. Lane Given
Sentence, Appeals
• Motor Vehicle Cases
Crowd Docket
Charges of assault and trespass
against Edgar Willis, Straits, were
dismissed by judge L. R. Morris
in county recorder's court Tues
day, on the grounds that the charg
es were not proved.
The charges arose out of an in
cident at the home of Joe Gillikin,
Otway,' in which Willis was shot in
the arm with a load of buckshot,
causing serious injury to the arm.
Gillikin testified that Willis had
come to his home and demanded
that Gillikin give him some money.
He said Willis took a cigarette
lighter, threw a jar at him, and
then gave Gillikin a knife, telling
him to “start cutting, I’m going
to beat you’ to death and burn the
house down.”
Gillikin said that he got the shot
gun while Willis was out of the
room and when Willis came back
into the room, told him to halt or
he would shoot his arm off. GiUi
kin said that after he shot Willis,
Willis 'fought with him and stated
that he (Willis) would get a gun
and “get him yet.”
Gillikin said that he told Willis
that he had “beat his last man or
woman with that arm,” and “if you
get after me again, I’ll shoot off
the other arm and both legs.”
Willis testified that he had gone
to the Gillikin home, was invited
in by Gillikin and had a few drinks
with him. Willis claimed that Gil
likin got mad at him after the
liquor ran out, got the shotgun
and shot him.
David E. Lane and his wife Rho
danna Lane, Newport, were tried
on charges of possession of stolen
goods. Lane’s wife was excused
from the trial due to pregnancy.
Testimony showed that Lane and
his wife had clothing belonging to
another couple who lived in the
same house near Wildwood and
that the clothing was stolen.
Lane testified that the clothing
was given his wife and admitted
that he was serving time in the
brig at Cherry Point for being
drunk on duty. He was sentenced
here to three motnhs, but appealed.
The clothing was recovered and
returned to the owners, Frank and
Connie Stevens, according to de
puty sheriff Carl Bunch.
