Goes to Building
of Much Sorrow
Lewis Edwards is
Sentenced 20 lO Years
Young Man Convicted of Second De-
gree Murder on Charge OF ni1l4ng
Pol4ceman w. IhOmas N1cCuist0n on
MAY 4, Sentenced by Judge.

Lewis Edwards, convicted Sunday
afternoon OF the murder of M. Thomas
McCuiston, member of the Greens
boro police force, on May 4, the jury
returning verdict of second degree
murder, was Monday afternoon, after
a great deal of argument by counsel
for the defense in regard to alleged
Irregularities existing in the trial
sentenced by Judge James L. Webb to
serve 10 years in the state peniten-
tiary at Raleigh. Counsel for defense
gave notice in court that they would
probably appeal to the Supreme court
but the general opinion is that no ap-
peal will be made.
AS soon as the matter of Edwards
sentence was taken up FL. L. Koontz
one of the three lawyers representing
the defendant, presented an affidavit
which set forth that the defendant be-
1ieved he had not been given a fair
trial becaue of the alleged fact that a
member of the jury, J. L. Charles,
was reported to have made statements
taht he had no patience with man
engaged in the whisky traffic and
that he felt it to be an imposition on
man to be compelled to leave his
work to sit on jury to try bootleg
ger. It was also alleged that Mr..
Charles had assisted officers of this
county several times in searching for
stills near his home and that he was
at all times outspoken in his denuncia-
ton of all engaged in the whiskey
traffic in any way. 1t was further
more alleged that the evidence pre-
sented by the state when Alb King
was placed on the stand placed the
deefnse in a position that they could
not answer it inasnuch as King was
not called to the stand early enough
to allow defense or Edwards to at
tempt to controvert the statements of
the witness.
Judge Webb Immediately had sub
poena issued for Mr.. Charles, who
lives in Deep River township, and he
arrived in the court room about 2:45
o'clock, the matter being continued
until the arrival of the juryman.
Mr.. Charles was, after being sworn,
closely examined by Solicitor oBwer
Judge Webb and Mr.. Koontz, the lat
ter one Of the attorneys for the de
Tense. Mr.. Koontz stated that he
did not in any way wish to intimate
that he doubted Mr.. Charles integrity
but his allegation was that the juror
might have been unconsciously inf1u-
enced against Edwards on account OF
his dislike of those connected with the
handling of whiskey. However, Mr.
Charles satisfied Judge Webb that he
had given a fair and impartial trial
to the defendant, Mr.. Charles declar-
ing that he rendered his part of the
verdict according to the evidence and
to the dictates of my heart to the
best of my ability"

Judge Royal Would Have Lloyd Bry-
ant Give UD Part of His Hair.

"Give him 80 days on the roads
and Mr.. Clark make the entry that
the sanitary officer cut off part of his
top-knot," said Judge Walter Royal,
in municipal court Monday when
he rendered judgment in the case of
Lloyd Bryant, negro denizen of the
courtroom, who was found guilty of
interfering with an officer in the dis
charge of his duties.
Bryant, who has long bushy hair,
didn't win any. sympathy Of the court,
the evidence tending to show that
he had been rather impudent of Police
Lieutenant Webb Elliott and Patrol
man H. D. Stout the other night when
officers entered a house in search of
Watt Reid, negro, wanted by the po-
lice on charge of assault. Bryant,
according to the police, interfered with
and threatened to make things rather
warm for the uniformed law.
Lee Kirk and Smith Biggers, ne
groes, were found guilty Of partiri-
pating in an affray.. Kirk was fined
$40 and half the costs, while a fine
of SIS and half the costs of the case

We Are Not Meanesf
in the OCullEry
No Truth. III Report of Much Chine
Here, Which had It's Originsu the :,
Late Municipal Conference.

1T is ridiculous that such a raDort
has been started and it ought fS be
branded as false, declared Dr. S.
Gfayson, member of the city edf61cil.
IN discussing the rufnor current here
that based on population High Point
is second to Chicago in the nunlbA Of
crimes committe. There is absolute
ly no. truth in that statement and It
should be corrected" said the cod4cil-
man. $.
DR.. Grayson pointed out that some
time ago the Motor World, an alto
nblle publication, carried establishes
showing: that in the number of e!t1to-
mobile theftse High Pointed, based on
population, was. second to Chicago.
That condition existed for only one
year, however, and it is, said to have
started the report that High Pcint
was. " the second worst criminal city in
the United States.
Somebody will have to prove to
me that High Point is the second
neanest city before will sesverSadfniit
it, the councilman said. "a 1Eter
received by Chief of Police Black
welder from headquarters where re
ports are received from all overEsthe
United States, shows that High Reint
is numbered among the few cities with
little laWlessness."
Recent announcement that High
sPoint.was about the meanestS town in
the United States has caused much
unfavorable comment in the CITY.
Everybody has been talking about It.
At club meetings it has afforded een1-
ment. and ministers have even dis
cussed it from the pulpit. Seyesal
citizens have declared it ridicu1ce4 As
that the saints of the city should al
low such conditions to exist and while
hey were talking it is declared that
they have not taken time to invest
gate such reports to. determine whefhz
er there was truth in them. DIR.
Grayson says the reports are without
foundation in fact and in his contfn
ton he is supported by not a few an
fiuential men here.

Issue Appeal on
Fire Prevention
Attention of Local Merchants Called
to Fire Hazards in State.

High Point merchants have received
| communications from Paul Leonard,
of Statesville, secretary of the North
Carolina Merchants association, urg-
ing them to cooperate with city au-
thor1tles in observance of fire preven-
ton week. The communication fol-
lows:
Fire is a danger that never
sleeps concludes President Harding
IN his lire prevention day proclama-
"'Careless destruction. 1t is re-
proach that North Carolina should
suffer millions OF dollars of loss an
nualy from fires caused by pure neg
l1gence. 1t is ineXcusabie that the
careful, cautious property owner
should lose his home or other build
1ngs because of his careless, reckless
neighbor. Yet how passively we view
this destruction as we watch fearless
fremen play streams of water upon a
raging fire, or read the daily toll OF
lives and property sacrificed through
fire to the god of carelessness and
waste So speaks Governor Morri-
son in the opening paragraph of his
proclamation.
''Fire took the lives of $1,000 hu-
man beings and caused property loss
Of nearly billion and half dollars
in the United States during the past
year, declares the president. Destruc-
ton by fire during 1920 in North Car
ollna alone, declares our governor,
reached the stating sum of six mil
lion dollars and 337 lives
GLOW important, then, is it that
every agency in North Carolina and
the entire nation should be used to
reduce the tragedy and destruction of
fire. Is there anything better than
your association could do than to en-
deavor to stimulate interest in the
proper observance of fire prevention
day in your community, and to keep
alive that interest every day in the
year? Every local association and
every individual member of the state
association will receive from the state
insurance department a package con-
tanning copies of the governors proc
Lamation and other fire prevention day
literature. Local secretaries are re-
quested to see that this is properly
posted in store windows. And your
state secretary requests that fire
prevention be discussed at your next
meeting.
ga special fire prevention meeting
WOulQ 40 gOOQ. Leu your dSSOCIdIioII
see to it that the admonitions of the
governor in his proclamation are
needed, particularly those dealing
with city ordinances, inspections and
fire departments. One local associa-
ton which started a fire prevention
movement at special meeting
brought on cleanup campaign which
resulted in the town being given a
100 per cent rating by the state in
.surance department, which is render
ing the state such wonderful ser
