On April 18, 1954 Chadwick bludgeoned his 7-month preg nant wife, Doris Marie, to death with a 12 gauge shotgun, then fled into the woods after break ing in a neighboring home and stealing another shotgun. His shotgun had been so badly bent in beating his young wife to death that he apparently was afraid to shoot it. Fortunately for law enforce ment officers the gun Chadwick stole had a faulty firing mechan ism, and would not fire. When caught he admitted the slaying, pleaded guilty in open court to second degree murder and was given 25 to 30 years in prison. He has escaped from custody twice since his imprisonment. Now he says that one of his brothers got 27 years cut off his prison sentence because his con stitutional rights had been abridged, so he says he believes his were also abridged. He first demanded a copy of all the records in his case from Henderson, who wrote him that there would be a $3 charge for copying the records. He then asked Superior Court Judge Howard Hubbard to force Hen derson to give him the copies free . . . Hubbard refused. Now Chadwick is petitioning Federal District Judge John Lar kins for relief in the matter. Larkins was Chadwick’s law yer when he pleaded guilty in 1954. Two Jones Arrests In the past week Jones Coun ty Sheriff Brown Yates reports booking just two people at the county jail. Paul E. Brown of Richlands was charged with as sault on a female and Alfred Jennings of Trenton was charg ed with assault with a deadly weapon. He is charged with shooting at his wife with'a shot gun and one pellet reportedly hit her in the lip. Mrs. Koonce Paid $18 for Tree Limb Under Order from Recorder's Court The most unusual case cleared among 28 in the past week in Jones County Recorder’s Court was that in which James Collins of New Bern was ordered to pay Mrs. Alta Koonce $18. Collins cut a limb from a tree! in the Koonce yard while mov ing the old Floyd Huggins chairman James Barbee asking “information about the county”. And as a board of equaliza tion and review the board turn ed down Rom Mallard’s request that the value of some timber lands be reduced. Lawyer Bids in Vast Interest in Two States for $500 Pamlico County Lawyer Ber nard Hollowell last Friday paid $500 for alleged title to “all the lands of David Allison in North Carolina and Tennessee” at an auction held at the court house door in Trenton. Hundreds of thousands of acres of land were granted to Allison late in the 18th century, and Hollowell bid $500 for what ever claims E. S. English may have on these Allison grants. Those who have taken the closest look at this matter say that Jack Taylor of New Bern has grown tired of Indian Af fairs in Colorado and is now in-, terested in timberlands in Ons low, Jones, Pender, New Han over and Craven counties. Gross Child Neglect Juvenile Officer Paul Trimbo li indicted James and Emma Lee Gooding of 812 Lincoln Street Saturday night for child neglect. Neighbors called Sgt. Trimboli and informed him that the child had been shot when the father dropped a .22 pistol at about 10 Saturday morning. It was after 10 that night before the child received medical aid, and then only after the officer took the child to a doctor. It suf fered a flesh wound in the left shoulder area. house, and was indicted by Mrs. Koonce, who said she had paid a tree surgeon $18 to patch up her bruised tree. More routine court affairs in ! eluded Jerry Jones Jr. of Pol locksville being given a choice between 30 days in jail or pay ing $25 for medical bills of Don ald Williams and Guy Christo pher Simmons of Pollocksville being given a choice between paying $90 to Everett Williams or going to jail for 30 days. They had both been charged with simple assault. Charles Bender, also of Pol locksville. had a sterner choice: 90 days in jail or payment of $75 per month for support of his family. Enoch Roberts of Maysville paid $19.50 for being publicly drunk. Billy Wiggs of Richlands route 2 had a larceny charge withdrawn and the plaintiff had to pay the court costs.
