NEWS ITEMS
W. D. Burnett Suspected Of Selling
Whiskey Goes to Halifax under
$4,000 Bond. Lone
Speeder Pays
AVERY WHITE DESERTED FROM NAVY

w. d. Burnett, of Petersburg,
Va, once of Roanoke Rapids,
was arrested by Policeman H. E..
Dobbins on his arrival at Roa-
noke junction on last Saturday
afternoon, on the charge of hav-
ing too much whiskey in his suit
case. Information leading to the
arrestof Burnetthad been 'phoned
to Mr.. Dobbins by a Sergeant of
Company H at Warrenton, who
had observed Burnett on the
train in the company of some of
the soldiers and suspected him
of furnishing the liquor which
was being drank by the crowd.
The examination after the
arrest revealed a suit case neatly
divided into compartments after
the manner of the humble egg
crate, but obviously designed and
intended to accommodate 3S pints
of whiskey, five pints being found
intact.
He was arraigned before Re-
corder VIM. S. Saunders, who
sent him on to Halifax Superior
Court under bond of $4,000,
which was promptly furnished.
There was no direct evidence
that Burnett had sold any of the
whiskey, but under existing law
the possession of the amount
carried by Burnett is illegal and
carries with it the assumption
that it was brought here for the
purpose of resale.
Reno Allsbrook paid $500 and
costs for speeding on Roanoke
Avenne last Saturday night.
Young Avery White. of Rose
mary, was arrested Thursday
afternoon by Chief J. R. Baird
on the charge of desertion from
the Navy and taken back to
Norfolk on the afternoon train.
There was reward of $4,000 for
his capture. Just why young
White deserted is a mystery here.
He came here several weeks ago,
ostensibly on a furlough, but
afterwards gave awayhis uniform
and offered several different ex-
plantations as to the manner of
his leaving the Navy. He is only
sixteen years of age and probably
did not realize the seriousness of
the offense he has committed.
