1 l THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, MAY 18, 1932 RELEASED FROM PRISON i Three Young People Set Free after- Ten Years of Jail Life l Today, at noon, three young people of this city were releasedi from the County Jail, where they had been serving a ten-year sentence. One is a girl-Louisa Duls, and the other two, boys-Johnie Jones. and John Hebert. The offense for which they were confined soy long was a failure to meet a note for 3250, which they had signed.i The sad story of the note is given below: Ten years ago, there were in the Class of 'Twenty-Two of Char-. lotte High School three dignified Seniors, who with the help of the school attempted to publish a weekly High School paper, The Advocate. Louisa was the editor, John the associate editor, and Johnie the business manager. But, alas, the paper fell into sore financial straits, so these audacious youngsters marched to the Independence Trust? Company, and obtained a note for 35250, payable on April 27 of thati year. They tried every imaginable way to raise money to pay thei note. They had the school give a carnival and a stunt night. They? sold hot dogs and candy, but all in vain, the money just couldn'ti be raised. The time for payment of the note was extended to May 17. l but even then these over-confident upstarts failed to pay their debt.i So at last the Bank was inflamed with righteous indignation againsti the deceivers, and sent officers to arrest them. It was a lovely springl day when the enforcers of law came to Alexander Graham High School. They saw a crowd of school children gathered around the Domestic Science window, and wondered what the trouble was. When they drew closer, however. they perceived that the cause of excite- ment was the three criminals. who were frantically endeavoring to sell hot dogs. ' Such slashing of rolls and slinging of mustard and, weinies they had never seen before. Myriads of pups were standing, around ready to be manufactured into weinies. When Johnie sawl the officers. he ran to them in despair. and begged with tears in his voice for a few more minutes in which to sell. But the policemen were , hard-hearted, and harshly dragged the offenders to Court. refusingi to listen to their pleas of mercy. while even the dogs yiped out theirl sympathy for the unfortunates. The Judge was as cruel as the offi-l cers, and sentenced the girl and boys. despite their tender age. to ten years in the county jail. They were placed in three small cells, side bv side. These long years' imprisonment have had verv peculiar effects upon the victims. Louisa has long been raving wildly. and the first thing she said upon releasement was. .Tohnie. I told vou so: I told you so!'l' Johnie. too. is ouite out of his head, and he continually muttersgsomething about pay up. pay up. John makes fierce gestures. as though he were still slicing rolls and slinging mustard.. The story of these young people is especially pathetic, for those whoi know them say that they were once very promising. They will be. taken to the State Sanatorium tomorrow, and all modern methods ofl I i 5 curing lunatics will be used upon them. P Wor'ld's Tennis Championship Newport News. May 18-Today, in a hard-fought match, Miss Helen Nora Sherrill won the world championship for women, bv de- feating the British holder of the title. The score was as follows: 6-4. 3-6. 7-5. This was one of the closest matched games of the series, and was witnessed 'bv a large and enthusiastic crowd of spectators. I., i Woodside Heavyweight Champ i New York. May 18-In defeat- ing last night the former holder! of the title. Fatty Woodside is' entitled to lay claim to world'sl heavyweight wrestling champion-1 ship. Woodside is popular with the, fans of this country, and he is! planning a southern tour in thei near future. He is himself ai North Carolinian. i Turns Down College Offer, to Coach Hi Team George Lowe, famous Harvard football star, has rejected a very flattering offer to coach the Geor- gia Tech football squad for next season, in order to give his services to the Charlotte High School team. George says he doesn t care any- thing about fame or fortune when it comes to standing by old Char- lotte High. Fans are expecting great things of the team next sea- son. New High School Stadium to Be Erected Of foremost interest to those connected with High School ath- letics is the announcement of the proposed erection of an Athletic Stadium at Independence Park, for the use of the students of the va- rious high schools of the city. The erection of this building is made possible through the generosity of Miss Effie Putman, who has al- ready given largely of her means for many benefits for the High School students. The stadium will be used for a football field, baseball diamond, running track, and other athletic purposes. There will be complete equipment of dressing-rooms, show- er baths, etc. It is the purpose of the Director of Athletics to stage a huge inter- State High School meet at this stadium each fall and spring. The Stadium is to be a large and handsome structure, and the work on it is to be begun at once. g..Q..g..q..9-.g..g..g..g..g..g..g.-gn..-...Q--5.-g..g..q.....g Q Q HuNTER's DEPARTMENT 2 sToRE E The ackliowleilgccl lezicli-1' of dc- 5 lP2l.l'IlllClli stores in the L'ai'oli11as.
