HIGH COURT DISPOSES OF
MASS OF FELONY CASES
AND CONVICTION APPEALS
^. Jockey's Ridge Terrorist Kept In Prison, Youth
i' Freed Of Indecent Exposure Charge, Sev-
•ral Drunk Driving Cases Reduced to En-
Defendants to Keep Licenses, Juries
--Lenient To Hometowners.
w

end. Sniicitor Hf!rb*rt Stnnll
whacked a weeed path th»v>ii,rh
j j m inB!S of Monv and n’i'-de-
mnanor cases in Superior Court
5 this week.
The Tarhoro jurist and the
Flixaheth Citv ni'osecutor were
hampered somewhat hv con
tinuances forced hv lohsences of
attorneys who hod bii,sine.®« in
i .1, federal court in Klizabeth Citv
- or were just plain “out of
‘j’ town," several pleas for a
reduction in original chaiTpes,
the reluctance of 5^me citizens
to serve on a trial iury, ami
the added reluctance of a home
town lury to uphold convictions
appealed from District Court.
The court reduced somewhat
the Mntence given to a youth
i ' convicted last summer after
teiroristic attacks on tourists on
; Jockey's Ridge, convicted two
I negro women of attem|)tcd rob
bery of a taxi driver, and turned
loose via jury verdict a youth
found guilty in July and .sen
tenced in District Court to 18
months on the roads on a
charge of indecent exposure.
Three lrunk driving cases ap
pealed from District Court were
resolved by acceptance by the
state of pleas to lesser charges
of careless and reckles.s driving.
Small explained the state’s ac
ceptance of the lesser pleas. He
said there vi'^s a mistrial in one
case in the May term of court
because the jury could not
agree. He said he thought that
^‘a Jury this, time would feel the
same way and, perhaps, acquit.
So'-'we took a plea to the lesser
chaiige.”-'
'Small saM- that in another
casoi^..the arresting officer ac-
tiully did not see the defcniant
dnving. “He may have be»n
dtunk,” the prosecutor said,
.“and probably was. But the of
ficer'did not see him actu.nlly
driving. He would have been
hard .to convict.”
In' another drunk driviner
case, a holdover for several
pionthk Small said the defen
dant was •iMrmitted to pleod to
a letaw chaixe because “all the
cvidMieerl had to go on was
soppllsd by the (arresting) of-
flrar. He.was willing to accept
the plea to the lesser charge. I
had to depend unon the officer
for my evidence.”
The arresting officer told a
newsman that he was outside
his Jurisdiction—the town of
Manteo — when the arrest was
made.-
“So I gue«s the cose was
wenk,” the officer said.
The defendant’s attorney.
Foirest V. Dun.S'tan of Elizabeth
City, said he had found a pre
cedent in- North Carolina law
cases in which a defendant ar
rested by an officer outside the
officer’s Jurisdicti-^n was turned
loose. Dunstan aaid "it took me
three' hours to find it” (the
|,i i precedent.) Diipstan sHd thv
* well-known principle of “hot
pursuit" did not apply in the
current case.'
Charles William Perry’. 22, of
Kitty Hawk, pled not guilty to
charges of trespass and expos
ing himself at the Oregon In
let fishing renter to Brenda l/O-
Gra-va of Portsmouth, Vn., wbo
with her mother was on a fish
ing trip.
Perry was n“a’ly dre.^'-eil, his
hair was combed, and he w.as
clean shaven. This contra.sted
vdth his attire at his trial July
19 in District Court. At that
time he wore a pair of yellow
shorts, a green .shirt with small
whi’e 'tripos, and .shoes but no
sox. He al.so affected a n'H~
taehe at the July trial With
I him at the defense table was
his mother, Mrs. Fannie Baum.
Mrs. LoGrasso testified that
ahe encountered Perry at the
Hahing center where alie had
hnuglit some bait for fishing.
She said Perry, a mate on a
pnrty boat, concealed himself
in her truck while she was
making a purchasci. She said
that when ahe came back to the

BAY ST. PAVING FUNDS
REPORTED IN JEOPARDY
Mayor Sam E. Miiigctt said
Thursilny the State Highway
Commission has set a limit of
30 days from Oct. 22 for prop
erty owners along Bay Street
to agree to donate a 40-foot
wide right-of-way.
Unless the ow’ners agree, the
department informed Midgett,
some $31,835.53 set aside for
oaving Bay Street will be used
for other puiTJOses.
Bay Street is the only street
i’l Manteo that is not paved.
Half of it is in Manteo, the
other h.alf in the county. Mid
gett sail the state would pave
the street if all property own
ers would donate the required
40-fool right-of-way. He sn*d
the state ver>’ likely wou'd NOT
ii-c the entire 40 fee*. He said
the paving probably would cov'r
only 16 to 18. or irerhans 20.

Hurricane Gladys, a latecom
er and tile first of the 1968 sea
son, was perhaps the most wel
come hujTicane ever to touch
North Carolina. The thirsty
hind, jiarched by tlie worst
droiiglit in years, greedily drank
the plentiful rainfall which ac
companied the .storm, and there
was rejoicing in many iiuartera
because of the rain.
Glady.s, moving rapidly from
the Florida coast, brushed Capr,
Hattoras early .Sunday morning
witli winds of about 80 miles
per hour, doing .some minor
damage and cau.sing some minor
flooding. Most of the water on
tlie Dare County road.s came
from the heavy ilownpours of
rain, although thei-e were somn
'Dots covered with tide water.
Before noon the sun came out
bright and with it came visitors
including many fishermen ex
pecting good catches on the
hack of the storm.
With little, warning because
of the rapidity with which
Gladys moved northward, the
Reil Cross nevertheless was on
the scene, prepai-cd for disaster
if it came. Shelters were set up
in thci schoolhouses in Manteo,
Kitty Hawk and Cape Hatteras.
Some 20 persons (tourists, by
rumor) stayed overnight in the
Buxton facility and were given
breakfast.
At the other shelters there
were campers who had been
warned to leave the beach
campgrounds.
Perhaps the most unusual
story to come out of the hur
ricane was that told by two
television men from Norfolk,
Va., who had started to iHat-
teras late Saturday. It is told
that they reached Oregon Inlet
Coast Guard Station, found no
one aroundj ^so went in and
beddfed ’ down ' for the night,
leaving early in the morning
with still no - activity around
!ho station and amused over the
fact that they had “put some
thing over on the Coast Guard”,
only to find when they reached
Hatteras that the Oregon Inlet
crew had been evacuated before
the TV men reached the sta
tion.

VINCE MARAZEK, National Park Scr%'ice naturalist, holds an
Amercian alligator while Joe Lusa, assistant maintenance chief,
looks at the two-foot specimen found October 18 in the Whalebone
Junction area by Park Sen’icc employees Lusa and Dave Olson.
The reptile was positively identified by Marazek and Clay Gifford,
It appeared to well-fed, in good condition, and approximately
two years old. It was speculated that- the animal was an escaped
or freed pet, but consideration was also given the possibility that
it swam from the mainland. ’ , -
After examination the “gator" was set free at an appropriate
location where chances for sui-vival are good. Natural foods are
fish, frogs, snakes, small turtles and insects.

ment Cancels Contract Which ^ Would
.. Have Run Through June 1969; Commercial
Operations A Possibility for Future. ,
Maiitco’s limited industi-y ha«
suffered a major blow :is sud-' -
denly as the actions wbicb^fed
to its establishment some fif
teen months ago. Production em
ployees, soine 100 in all, were
laid off summarily lust Friday.
Ira D. 'I’emple, manager of the
local division of tlie Norfolk-
based canvas firm, said that
communication canceling the
contract had been received ear
lier Friday, but that employees
were not advised until quilting-
lime at 4:30.
Temple sail there were ,85
employees on the daytime shift,
while 15 were working a' 6-hbur
shift in the evening. The latter
crew had been organized within
recent weeks to speed up lagging
production. A labor shortage
during the summer had been
noted, and for several weeks re
cently the firm made concerted. ’.
effoi-t to secure a full operating
crew. ' .
Mrs. Marie Owens of Norfolk,
executive secretary’ of the Ells
worth Manufacturing-Virginia
Tent-M a n t e o -Manufacturing
complex, had few words on
Tliur.sdny to sum up the situa
tion. She said: “Defense person
nel defense center has terminat
ed remainder of contract for -
kitchen tents now being manu
factured by Manteo Manufac
turing Co. wliich would have i-un
through June 1969. ManteoMan- -
ufacturing iiupcs to be'able In
the near future to convert'oper
ations to commercial products
thereby rehiring employees now
unemployed,’.’
Of the personnel affected by
layoff, 74 were reported from.
Dare County’, 26 fram Tyrrell. '
In the past, other employees
have come from Engelhard and
other points,in Hyde County. In
recent weeks, payroll had been,
about $6200. Some of those em-'
ployees wilt be eligible for un*
employment compensation - sti*
pends.
Temple stated that the peraon-
nel employed was about 2696
“perinnanent” with the balance
of employees who had to be
trained largely responsible for
delays in production. When
asked what rea.son was cited for
cancellation, he said that the on*
ly factor he could determine wa*
that they were “late on ship
ment” • ' '
• The current contract was
awarded on’ February 14. A pre-
production ’Sample Was com; '
pleted on April 14,'with pro
duction starling on or about ..
April 17. The contract called for
completion of 171 units by July
13, and a total of 1359 by Octo
ber 18. Tlie manager said that
they were 530 units behind
scheduled delivei’y at the time
of cancellation. All told, the can
celled contract sjiccified comple
tion of 5,719 units.
Employees had been laid off
earlier this year, from 'mid-
March until the rchiring began
for production of tlie kitchen
tents. Previously the production
had been liniiKHl to tent liners.
Operations liave been carried •
on in the foi’mer Elementary,
Scliool gymnasium. The Dare j.
County Board of Education had
leaseii in May 1967 to Manteo
Manufacturing Co. and Kenneth
K. Moore, Jr. of Norfolk, the
building for a period of one
year ac monthly rate of $250.
In May of this year a renewal
option for an additional year
was cxerciswl.
Within the past month, the
trio of Norfolk and Manteo fitTOS
has been sold to Transitron Elec
tronic, a firm whose stock is ■■
traded on the New York Stock
Excliungc and which quoted at
close of business Tues«lay
$14.50 per share. During 1967 „
Its price ranged between §11..,
and $22 share. S&P’s stock guMe
indicates Transitron is princiiwl- :
