Two Murphy boys confessed to breaking into Bob White's Murphy Woodyard and Kerns Bakery's store here Decem ber 14, following an investi gation by Murphy Policeman Pete Stalcup and SBI Agent M. G. Crawford. Names of juvenile offend ers are not released. Police Officers here are still investigating three break-ins that occurred last Thursday night when one or more persons entered the Dickey -Crain wholesale com pany's building, the Murphy Laundry and the Coca-Cola warehouse here. The owners at all three places discovered the break ins Friday morning. The strange thing about the break-Ins was that nothing was missing from the Dtckey Crain Building or the Coca Cola warehouse, and the only items missing from Murphy Laundry were three pairs of trousers, a shirt, a Jacket, and (Vo handkerchiefs. Local police officers In vestigating Friday did find a footprint at each of the three buildings that appeared to come from the same shoe, indicating that the same per son or persons entered all of the three buildings. The Dickey -Crain building was entered through a vent window on the roof. Police said the person who krefee Into the building broke out one small window pane, removed the window, then lowered himself onto some bone inside below. Their Investigation also showed that he left the same way, (ben replaced the window. At Murphy Laundry the per son gained entrance to the ' building by cutting through a screen and crawling through, then apparently left the same way. The Coca-Cola warehouse was entered through a win dow. Warehouse officials found several empty coke bot tles and discovered that the person who entered the build ing searched through die con tents of the glove compart ment of one of the company's trucks parked in the ware - house, then left these items on the truck seat. The person then left the warehouse through the door. The Murphy Police and SBI investigation of the three break-Ins also turned up some fingerprints. It remains a mystery what the person or persons who entered the three buildings was after. At neither of the buildings did the person go into the office space, and police were puztled as to whether or not money was the object of the break-ins. Police officers also said this week that someone ap parently tried to steal a car belonging to Hugh Brlttain, owner of Brittain's Uphols tering Shop here, last Satur day night. The auto was parked behind the shop, where Mr. Brlttain was rebuilding it. He told police officers that he had not yet completed the job and that the car s clutch was not hooked 19. Whoever tried to take the car Saturday night, rolled it down the alley behind the shop to Main Stree, then left it there when they discovered that It was not In running condition. Police officers here and the SBI are still continuing their investigation Into a robbery that occurred here in the oar ly morning hours of December 27, when someone broke into the E. C. Moore Jewelry store and made of with some f 16,000 worth of jewlery, but they reported that there are no new leads Into the case at this time. Town Board Discussos More Police Protection MURPHY - The Town Board discussed the possibi lities of Improving police pro tection here In their regular monthly meeting Monday night, and decided to try out different types of two-way radios for patrol cars, but a greed that adding another full-time man at night would call for realigning the budget. This fiscal year's budget runs until June, and the Board members agreed that additional manpower for the local force would have to wait until then. The need for more. police protection at night and for two-way radios was spotlight ed recently by a ? 15,000 Jewelry store robbery here, several break-ins, and an editorial In the Scout com menting on this problem. Several cttlaons were at the meeting to of.er suggest ions to the Board for Improv ing police protection. In other action, the Board discussed the need for tighter ln/orcement of laws against the sale of Illegal beer and liquor In town. The Board members also Instructed local police of ficers to enforce the ordinance prohibiting taxi drivers to solicit business on the streets, and warned offenders that they will face arrest and the loss of their licenses if caught. The Board also moved to notify die State Highway Dtft. that signs are needed on the new 4-lane stretch of U. S. 64 Weat going out of Murphy, lowering the speed and warn ing of sharp, unelevated cur ves, which are especially dangerous during Icy and wat MURPHY - Voters in Cherokee and Clay Count ies gave heavy majorities in favor of the proposal to re model the N. C. General As sembly in a Constitutional Amendment vote Tuesday, but the plan failed to pass by a 3-2 majority over the state. Unofiicial returns from Cherokee County, with 15 of 17 precincts reporting (Grape Creek and Unaka returns were not in Wednesday morning) showed 764 votes for the a mendment and 147 against. Clay County unofficial re turns showed 272 votes for and ISO against. The amendment, known as the 'Little Federal Plan', would have remodeled die Legislature, basing repre sentation in the House strictly on geographical unit, giving one seat to each of the 100 counties regardless of popu lation, and would have in creased the Senate from 50 to 70 members with seats distributed according topopu lation. Cherokee and Clay voters also approved an amerxknent modernizing the constitution al provisions dealing with women's property rights, and this amendment passed state wide by a Urge margin. Cherokee voters cast 697 ballots for this ameixknent and 186 against. Clay County returns showed 239 for and 157 against. This amendment which pas sed will permit a married wo man to dispose of property she owns without her hus band's consent. At present, a married wo man must have her husband's permission to convey real property. The amerxknent also would abolish a wife's right to disinherit her husband in her will. Snowy and Icy weather with bitterly cold temperatures ac counted for a small turnout In Cherokee and Clay Count ies as well as throughout the state, and another factor In the relatively small vote was the fact that not all of the vot ers understood the amend ment, despite widespread advance publicity. The vote on the Little Fed eral amendment squared off as a battle between the big and little counties in the state, population wise, with the big counties calling the amend ment a "power grab' by the small counties, and the little counties contending that it was the only fair method of representation. Now that this measure has been defeated, the Senate re districting bill which was passed in a Special Session of the Legislature last Oct ober will go Into eflect In 1966. This rcdMtricting Mil r e allgned the district for the state's SO senators, keeping the districts on an even foot ing population-wise. The Con stitution says this must be done every ten years, follow ing the census, to ke^iywlth shifts in die population. Cherokee and day counties were aligned in a new 36th district in the new bill passed tn the special session, and this district Is made up of the old 33rd district, which in cluded Cherokee, clay, Mi con, Graham, and Swain, plus Jackson County which was added to make up the new 36th district. Sen. Frank Forsyth of Murphy is the incumbent Sena tor for this district.
