JUSTICE SWINGS BACK
AND FORTH
(Laurinburg Exchange)

(La0rlnDufg EXcndngeJ
Back in January when a Char
lotte man who hid in the truck
of car and shot gunned his wife's
alleged lover to death after the
woman and the other man had
been seated in the car, making
love" as the killer claims, was
tried and sentenced to 80 years
in prison, we thought the judgment
of the court was little heavy
handed. After all there was a pro-
vocation, and under the circum-
stances many another man would
have acted violently, too.
Now six months after the man
gets a new trial and is acquitted,
released and goes scott free. And
while the January prison sentence
seemed little harsh, this one
seems a little too mild. After all,
the fellow killed a man, and
whether he did it deliberately and
with intent, or whether it was an
accident as he claims, the cir
cumstancial evidence was DAM
aging at least. The jury perhaps
was actuated by the "unwritten
law, which used to be evoked
rather freely on the theory that
a man has a right to protect his
home.
The case seems to point to the
rigidity of the law, or it's SEEM
ing inadaptibility to circumstances.
At one extreme the man was held
to be a murderer and drew a
heavier sentence than many a cold
blooded killer gets off with. On
the other he is completely exon
Grated and goes free. Or it may
be that it's purely an emotional
verdict, something built on feel
ings, and entirely apart from the
blind operations of the law. But
somewhere in the shuttle it does
seem that justice was sidetracked.

MORE GUSH OVER GRACE
Now the world is safe. Sweet,
dreams may finally come to
troubled world. Grace Kelly has at
last been bred by the Prince who i
picked her out for the purpose,
took her over to his postage stamp
principality of gamblers and froth
so that he might have a child to
keep his $40 acres from going
back to control of France. The
greatest announcement of earth
shaking consequences which has
started curious women to count

who married on Anril 18th are eX-
pecting a child in February;-as if
anyone gives darn how long she
carries it, or what becomes of his

The dark-skinned head of Egypt's
Government is making a great !,

the willy Nasser is backed up by
his people who are delighted at

The situation is causing a lot of
concern. The 103-mile long canal
built through desert sands by the
French, nearly 100 years ago,
saved 5000 miles on voyage be-
tween London and India.

"The Governor is not the only

Highway Chairman A. H. Ora
ham said he had raised questions,
too. He recalled a visit Adams
made to his office with a Raleigh
attorney, j. c. B. Ehringhaus, Jr.
He said Adams and Ehringhaus
showed him an elaborate layout on
a number of maps. He soon made
clear, he said, that very definite
requirements must be met before
the State can build a road.
Gas a result of the conference,
he said, Adams sent him a letter
explaining what Corolla would
want and what Corolla would do
to get it. That was the letter, he
added, which was read at Thurs
days Highway Commission meet
ing.
"Graham said the Commission
has policy against building roads
for private interests. eve do not, "
he stressed, "build private roads"
"When persons planning devel-
opments or industries ask for
roads, he said, the Commission at
tempts to weigh public needs
against private benefit. It waits, he
said, until the development is fin
ished or the industry built and
then provides such highway facil-
tiles as are required for public
purposes as the traffic demands.
"He did not feel, he said, that
providing a road for Corolla would
create a precedent. In some cases,
he said, it is better for the High
way Commission to build the road
to start with, where the equipment
is available and the owner will pay
the costs, than to take over later
a privately-built road which does
not meet minimum standards.
"He was asked if the Governor
had mentioned Corolla to him. He
answered there was one mention OF
it and that the Governor thought
it ought to be treated like any 9TH
er situation depending on what is
involved"
