In Rape Case

Jackson, N. C.. = Governor r.
Gregg Cherry last Tuesday de-
nounced the action of the North
ampton County grand jury in fail
ing to indict seven white men
from Rich Square on charges grow
ing out Of the attempted lynching
of Goodwin Buddy Bush, "a, who
was abductedfrom the Jail here
early on the morning of May %
by mob of masked men.
Expressing disappointment that
no true bill was found against
the men, Governor Cherry declar-
ed that the action of the grand
jury did not close the case. He
ordered Superior Court judge to
convene a court. sit as a COM
hitting magistrate, investigate
the case thoroughly, hear all ava
liable evidence, and commit the
accused for trial in an adjoining
county.
Governor Cherry acted under
the lynching law enacted in 1893
He said his purpose is to clear
up "a reflection on the State Of
North Carolina which does not re-
nresent. the attitude of the better
citizens of Northampton County
He told a speciallv called press
conference at Raleigh that I'm
dobtedly a crime has been com
mitted by those who entered TIN
Jail at Jackson, and one of thu
members of the mob had confess
ed to the crime.

Prove Mere
Formally

Prentiss, Miss-Augll, (DSN)-
Thepreliminary trial of three Law
enforcement officers who admit
ed shooting to- death Versie John
son, a negro veteran, whom they
had in their custody following his
arrest on charge of rape as
previously predicted by a County
Court officer proved to be a mere
formality, when Justice of tn
Peace C. V. sutton dismissed the
charges against the officers here
last Thursday.
Sutton said at a preliminary
hearing that the charges and evid-
ence against Sheriff G. o. Berry,
State Highway Patrolman Andy
Hopkins and State Highway Pat
rolman J. spencer Pickett were
insufficient" to warrant holding
them for the Grand Jury.
Eallier District Attorney q. B.
Williams, who prosecuted the case
at the preliminary hearing, had
him the men had been justified
in killing Versie Johnson, the me-
gro.
Witness told Of seeing the negro
grab for Puckett's gun while show
ing the three officers the place
the White woman was assaulted.
After the shooting, Sheriff
Berry told newsmen the fatal
shots were fired by himself and
the two highway patrolmen.

BY Fronk Colby
Some Matters of usage.

Los Angeles: For m onths now
there has jumped at me from mag
azine and radio ads the phrase:
More doctors smoke Blanks than
any other cigarette" Let's split
some hairs, shall WE'D. e. B.
Answer: Advertising writer's are
uninhibited souls who nearly al
ways throw the syntax rules out
the window. They strive for punch"
terseness and originality Of express
sioff; and we should not try to hold
them to standards that are too
rigid.
However, there is no law against
hair-splitting; so let's analyze the
sentence In question.
The sentence as it stands Is clip
tic. When the missing or under
stood elements are supplied, this
is the surprising result: More
doctors smoke Blanks than any
other cigarette Smokes Blanks"
Now to correct this illogic, a verb
is needed in the clause which be-
gins with the conjunction than"
thus: More doctors smoke Blanks
than (they) smoke any other Gig
arette," the pronoun they" being
understood.
Riverside: Recently you wrote,
"the river empties into the Gulf of
Mexico" Colby, you're wrong! A
river cannot empty so long as any
water remains in it. Webster and
our best authorities in English are
against you.-S. A. H.
Answer: Sorry, but "the river
empties" is quite proper idiom.
Here is one of the definitions of
the verb ''to empty" Webster's New
International: ITO discharge itself;
as, the river empties into the ocean"
The New Century: ITO discharge
contents, as river" Funk and
Wagnalls: ITO pour out itself or
its waters; as the river empties into
