opposed by Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Ralph S. Baker.
Clogg and Fisher were indicted
by the April grand jury for second
degree murder to which they plead
ed not guilty. The case was con-
tinued to the June term at which
time they pleaded guilty to assault.
The story of the crime, as told
once more by Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Baker, Frederick p. Whitney,
attorney for Fisher, and Everett F.
Warrington, attorney for Clogg, was
that group of youths gathered
together for a drinking party dur
ing which Lekites was given SIS to
buy more liquor. He returned with
out the liquor or the money and the
first fight ~ensued. Then came an
other fight about a car which Lee
kites borrowed and ran into a
ditch and a third fight later.
Lekites was taken to his home
in Selbyville and at first laid down
at the edge of the yard. About a
half hour later, TIL youths moved
him to the steps of his home where
he was found dead the next morn
ing, his face, according to Deputy
Attorney General Baker, "a bloody
sight"
Both attorneys for the youths
said that there were witnesses who
could testify that Lekites was him
self Staggering drunk" and had
fallen on his face on the concrete
highway several times.
Attorney Whitney said that he
had been amazed since he had TAX
en- the case for Fisher at the peo-
pie who came forward to express
their disbelief that Fisher could
have become mixed up in such a
tragic affair.
In asking probation for Clogg,
Attorney Warrington said, "If it is
a crime to leave a drunken man on
his own steps with his sister
awake upstairs, then perhaps Clogg
might be guilty of that"
The courtroom was comfortably
filled with people who had come
to witness the disposition of the
case-one of the most sensational
of the year.

LAW OF THE ROAD

NORTH AUGUSTA, s. C. Up
A I6-year-old high school boy
learned about law in Recorders
Court-and saved $12.
Arrested for speeding. he posted
$12 bond and returned home.
Usually in such cases the ac-
clsed stays away and forfeits bond
But this youth showed up for trial
and explained to Recorder o.
Douglas Smith that he returned at
the urging of his high school driv-
ing class teacher.
Smith found him guilty but be-
cause of the lads youth and hon
esty he suspended sentence and or
dered the bond returned. And then
had to explain to the boy what a
suspended sentence meant.
He went happily home with his
s12. But perhaps he figured he
earned it because he was required
to make full report of the whole
affair to his driving class.
