MEADOWS TRIAL
IN THIRD WEEK

GREENVILLE, June 17.-P)-
The trial of DR.. Leon r. Meadows.
charged with embezzlement and
false pretense, will begin it's third
week tomorrow, and the Pasquo-
tank county jury hearing the case
was here in custody of deputy
sheriff.
The 10 jurors have been held in
strict seclusion. Judge ]. Paul
Frizzelle indicated early last week
that he would allow them to go
home over the week-ends, but he
reconsidered and directed that the
jury remain here.
Thus far in this two weeks old
trial the state has sought to show
that Meadows, former president
of East Carolina Teachers college.
paid three workmen less e r
amounts than those for which he
allegedly was reimbursed by the
college; that he converted $678
&C" ,ge check to his own use; and
that he failed to return to the col
lege $50 returned to him by a
worker, and that he charged the
college $50 for work done on his
property.
Most of Friday was concerned
with the 1918 check. Meadows al
legedly gave the check to e. L.
Baker, head of the Baker-Davis
Hardware Co. here, for what he
said was in payment for two cars
Of cement in 1887. Baker said a
check of his books showed that
neither the college nor Meadows
owed the money and he returned
the check to Meadows.
The state alleges that Meadows
turned the check to his personal
hank account.
Baker said that on several occa-
stone he saw Meadows use the
typweriter in his (Baker's) own
office, and that Meadows filled
vouchers several times on the COM
pany's typewriter.
The trial will be resumed Mon
day at $3.50 I. m.

Young McCandless commanded
the Gregory in recent Pacific op.
erations. She had been badly dam.

been working with destroyers many
years. He passed his 10th year in
the U. S. Navy recently. He was
graduated from the Naval Acad-
envy in 1908. The son was gradual
ed in 1882.
Young McCandless paid high
tribute to his ship, his crew and
the builders at Seattle (Todd-Pa-
cific). Only two crew members
were injured when six japanese
suicide planes attacked the Greg
DRY. They were Stewards Mate
First Class Robert J. Baldwin, OF
Townsville. N. c., and Seaman
First Class Francis P. Daily, OF
Milan, Ma. Both remained at
their gun positions until the attack
was over.
Commander McCandless wears
the Congressional Medal of Honor.
It. was the second time he had
come back with a badly damaged
ship. In 1912 he served on the
cruiser San francisco which was
seriously damaged in the action
off Guadalcanal.
