OFFICER FINED FOR ABUSE
OF PRISONER-AND THAT
is NEWS!

One upon a time it was con-
sidered right much news if a man
should bite dog instead of the
dog doing the biting. But when a
police officer Or deputy sheriff
is fined for abusing a citizen in
stead of the said citizen being
fined, that is news.
In court here Saturday, special
officer Charles Sailing of Haysi,
was fined the sum of $4,000 for
the alleged abuse or Wilson
Turner at Haysi some days ago.
Whether a blackjack, pistol butt
or meat axe was used we did not
learn. Testimony of witnesses was
to the affect that Turner was ar
rested at Haysi restaurant be-
cause he was adjudged drunk.
Turner, it was said, jerked loose
from one of the officers and was
hit some several times by Sailing
even after he was knocked to
the floor.
The case was appealed to court
by Sailing.
