Craven Placed Under $1,000
Bond

Jasper Craven, the 2O-year old
white boy, son of Sanford Craven,
living in the Shady Grove section,
who was arrested Monday afternoon
near Teaguetown and lodged in Jail
here, charged with the theft of g.
200 from David Hedgecock, was
given preliminary hearing at
Trinity Wednesday and placed un-
der a $1,000 bond for his appear
ance at Randolph county Superior
court at ASheboro. Craven almost
tainted, it is said, when the verdict
was announced and he thought his
father would not arrange bond. 1t
will be remembered that the &C.
count in this paper last week told
how Mr.. Hedgecock had disposed of
his farm, carried the money in a
shoe box under the seat of his Ford,
accompanied by his son and the
Craven boy. Later missing the
money and the arrest of Craven af-
ter he had bought two automobiles
and otherwise spent more of the
money, about $1,000 being recov-
cred i'll money and the rest from the
sale of the autos.
