"And I didn't get out", the deputy
laconically stated. Asked if he was
afraid to get out, the deputy stated
that he felt that if he did attempt
to get out there would be some shooting.
Ten minutes after Mr. Winslow
and Mr. Chalk drove off from the
station on the night in question seve
ral prohibition officers appeared and,
in the excitement which followed.
Gregory threw his gun away. It
vas later picked up by one of the
federal officers and United States
Deputy Marshall Whit G. Wright,
who was a spectator in court, and
who had the gun in his possession,
was asked by the Judge to produce
the weapon, which Gregory identi
fied.
The defendent was sentenced to 6
months on the roads.
Charlie Williams, Winfall Negro,
was given 6 months on the roads
upon conviction of the larceny of a
pair of boots from the store of Dar
den Bros., and another six-months
suspended sentence which had been
imposed for larceny was ordered into
effect, to run consecutively with the
last sentence.
Lee White, Winfall Negro, was
convicted of vagrancy and was sen
tenced to thirty days on the roads.
White took the stand in his defense
and testified that the reason he did
not work was because he was sick,
but no witness appeared in support
of his statements.

Young Gregory testifying in his
own behalf stated that he did not
know Cook Winslow, the deputy sher
iff, and that as he stood in front of
Bob Ivey's Service Station near New
Hope on the night of November 9
with the pistol in his hand, he was
unaware that the man who spoke to
him from a car and told him to put
the gun up was an officer. It had
been testified by Cook Winslow, and
also by Fred Chalk who was riding
with the deputy sheriff, that on the
night in question Mr. Winslow saw
the man in front of the station with
a pistol in his hand and that he stop
ped his car and told' -the. .man who
proved to be Ernest Gregory to put
that gun np. Gregory responded, ac
cording to the two state's witnesses,
"I understand the law is looking for
me." "I am- the law," the deputy
sheriff is alleged to have told the
man, "but I am not looking for you".
And again the deputy instructed him
to put the gun up. ; Gregory is alleg
ed to have walked to the car and
said "I have been looking for the
law and if the law wants me let

"Puss in the corner", we said. "Go
to the next neighbor" promptly came
the answer when we attempted to
gain a corner for ourselves in 'the
old game, and lucky we were if we
could manage to scramble into some
corner when the quick exchanges
were made.
The Pitt and Hines families appear
to be playing "Puss in the Corner",
but in this case each gains a corner
and nobody is left out.
W. H. Pitt has recently purchased
the Douglas home, which has been
for the past couple of years occupied
by Mr. and Mrs. R. N. Hines. The
Pitts expect to move into their new
home shortly, and the Hines family
have rented the apartment now oc
cupied by the Pitts in the residence
of Mrs. C. W. Morgan.
A great many Hertford folks send
The Perquimans Weekly to relatives
living at a distance as a Christmas
gift. The paper becomes more and
more popular as a Christmas pre
sent each year. Right now seems
a good time to take advantage of the
special price of $1.00 at which the
paper is selling during the subscrip

to take advantage of this opportuni
ty may subscribe from their favorite
contestant at this special price and
reserve the subscription to begin

on Christmas Eve.
How fortunate that there are a
lot of honest folks in the world.
Otherwise, these careless folks who
go around .scattering' their property
all over thdl place! -would be out of
luck. Personally, I have had cause

Ralph E. Perry, Perquimans Coun
ty f armer, whp, may o may not be
long in ;the category of the careless,
probably feels that he has good cause
to be thankful that the money he lost
on Monday happened to fall into the
hands of an honest man. ;
Mr. Perry lost a .ten-dollar bill
while attending to some business in
the lobby of the Hertford Banking
Company on Monday morning. Nath
an Spivey, another Perquimans
farmer, happened to pick it up. Mr.
Spivey promptly "turned in the money
at the bank, -feeling reasonably sure
that the owner would come 'back , to
look for . it. Meantime, Mr. Perry
was out attending to other business
about town and he did not miss the
bill until he was some distance dp
the ' street. ; Faith in human nature
probably led him back to the bank,
where he hoped he might be success
ful in recovering his money, and his
