SHERIFF ARRESTS
C. B. GOODWIN ON
'CRIMlNALCHARCE

An unfortunate occurrence took
place last evening when the sher-
iff of Hertford county, A. E. Gar
rett, arrived here to arrest Mr.. G.
B. Goodwin, who has recently come
here to associate himself with the
Burroughs -Pittman- Wheeler-Co.
The Commonwealth does not
usually report criminal cases un-
til after trial, but the arrest OF
Mr.. Goodwin created so much ex-
citement that in justice to he ac-
cused the full facts should be made
known.
Before coming to Scotland Neck
Mr.. Goodwin was associated in bus
mess with MIR. G. w. Baker Of A
hoskle, under the firm name Of
Baker and Goodwin, and he contrac
ted with Mr.. A. w. Holloman. Of
that place to sell all his interest
IN the business; the latter to as
sumo all Indebtedness, including 2
notes and other liabilities, which
was put into writing and signed
b. both parties and is in the po-
session Of Mr.. Goodwin.
Since purchasing Nj. Goodwin s
interest the prosecutor also bought
out MI Baker also, but now he
charges Mr.. Goodwin with not dis
closing the large amount of liabil-
lty, although he freely signed the
agreement to assume all liabilities
This seems like persecution Of Mr.
Goodwin, and it also appears ul-
fair to prosecute this young mal
llminally when he shows 10 dis
position to be party to any crimi
nal act.
