Last week in a hearing before
Resident Judge Henry Stevens the
probationary sentence of Donald
Dewey Brock, Trenton negro, was
revoked. On Monday of this week
the probationer was taken to State
Prison in Raleigh to begin serving
a three to five year prison term
for breaking and entering and lar
ceny in connection with the theft
of money and checks from the
Colonial Oil Company in Trenton
over three years ago.
Brock had pled guilty to taking
part in the 1953 robbery and re
cently was indicted for stealing six
tires from the filling station of W.
F. Hill directly across the street
from the court house (and jail) in
Trenton.
He will still have to face this
breaking and entering charge at
the next term of Jones County’s
Superior Court, when it is likely
he will have more time tacked onto
the three tj> five year term he is
now serving.
" Sheriff Brown Yates says Brock
admits the. Hill theft, but says
soijne other thief stole the tires
from him before he had a chance
to sell a single one of them.
