Three Negroes, Including a
woman, have been arrested
within a span of four days,
and charged with the murders
of two white policeman in North
Carolina towns. Speedy trials
are indicated as the trio has
been bound over to superior
courts.
The first killing took place
Wednesday night in Farmville
when Officer Lyman Eason was
fatally wounded as he sought
to place handcuffs on 19-year
old Robert Rogers, of Spring
Lake, near Fayetteville. He
was bound over to Pitt County
Superior Court on a charge
of first degree murder.
Following Rogers’ prelimi
nary hearing, he was removed
to an undisclosed jail for safe
keeping as “feeline:'* was re
portedly “running high” in that
small tobacco town.
Farmville Officer Earl Keel
testified that Rogers, in Fay
etteville, where he was appre
hended, readily admitted the
slaying of Patrolman Eason af
ter Eason approached him at
the bus station in Farmville
while he was in a phone booth.
Rogers allegedly told police
men that Eason came at him
with pistol in hand and placed
him under arrest, Rogers re
portedly told Keel that he was
afraid Eason would detect the
pistol in his belt, and he turn
ed and fired at least twice.
Rogers is also quoted as say
ing he saw Eason fall and he
fled.
Rogers also admitted being
involved in a robbery shortly
before the killing, it was learn
ed.
The second murder took place
four days later In Fremont, and
involved a 27-year old logger,
Johnny (Ringo) Graham, and
his 31-year old girlfriend, Miss
Ruby Rivers.
Both have already been bound
over to the Wayne County Su
perior Court and are scheduled
for trial this week.
