Belligerent 10-Year-Old Headed for Training School, Sept. 4, 1926

Boy Thief in Second Wild Escape. . . Ray Hinson, Aged 10, in Jail Again After Biting Officer

Charlotte News, Sept. 3rd

“Out of the frying pan into the fire” went Raymond Hinson, 10-year-old youth of North Charlotte, who within 24 hours after his release on a charge of stealing one automobile, attempted Friday to drive off another.

The boy was caught at Fourth and /Graham Streets Friday morning by A. R. Coppedge of 800 North Graham Street as he attempted to drive off the automobile of T. B. Bailey of 810 North Church Street.

The youngster, who early in the week tried to wreck the room in which he was locked at juvenile detention quarters, fought desperately to prevent being taken to the welfare office. He hit, he kicked, and he bit. The skin on the hand of one of the men was lacerated by the bites the infuriated youth inflicted.

Bites Woman Officer

At the welfare office he continued his fight. Before he could be locked up he kicked Miss Mary Honeycutt, office assistant, and hit her on the arm and shoulder.

After being locked up, he grabbed a chair, attacked the wire netting across the window, jerked the bed aloose, wildly scattering the pieces about the room, and hurled them against the walls and door.

The enraged child became so vicious that a call was sent to the police station. L. E. Moser, police detective, was dispatched and by a little play of strategy brought the youth to the City jail and placed him in a cell without the slightest difficulty.

Hinson was arraigned Thursday before Judge Williams in Juveinle Court, after he had taken the a car belonging to the Drive-It-Yurslef Company of South Poplar Street, in front of the Hotel Charlotte last Saturday.

In Auto Wreck

He was going to Gastonia but he went in the wrong direction and was headed toward Concord instead. Near the Jackson Training School, the car turned over and the boy was taken into the institution. There he told attendants not to tell the police, for they would send him to Jackson Training School and he didn’t want to go there. He was unaware that he was at the school, and, when officers did come for him, he bucked at being taken away.

From the rural police station, to the welfare office, thence to City jail, he fought and kicked.

Monday morning, he was seen by a reporter and the juvenile detention quarters. The reporter greeted him “Buddy, how are you?

Says It with Fist

The youngster peered through the small opening in the door. He said not a word, but as quick as a flash his tiny fist shot through the opening and biffed the reporter on the nose. Then he grabbed a chair, and started battering up the place.

Welfare officers are in a quandary as to what to do to the youngster. Judge Williams ordered Thursday that he be placed in the Jackson Training School at the earliest opportunity and the boy was placed on probation until a vacancy occurs among the ranks of boys from this County.

At his first chance, he tried to steal another car, and this time, the sailing was not so easy. His father, W. C. Hinson of 504 Mecklenburg Mill, when informed of his son’s second attempt at automobile larcency, said for him to be turned over to the welfare officers.

School Trucks to be Started on Monday. . . First Truck to be Operated by County Schools Will Bring Students to This City

Truck No. 1 of the 16 recently purchased by the county school board will be out in operation Monday and will serve high school students from the Poplar Tent and Cannon-Voile schools

The truck will bring students from the two schools to the Concord high school, arrangements having been made whereby the county pays for their tuition for six months and the parents for three months.

The driver of the truck lives just beyond Cox’s mill and when the Cannon-Voile and Poplar Tent schools are opened, he will take children from his neighborhood to these schools enroute to Concord with the high school students.

Fifteen students completed courses at the two schools this year and have enrolled in the high school here. The truck will leave the home of the driver each morning at 7:30 and is scheduled to reach Concord at 8:30, fifteen minutes before work begins at the high school.

Prof. J. B. Robertson, superintendent of the public schools of the county, who announced the schedule for this truck, stated further that other trucks would be put in operation on the 13th.

These trucks will carry high school students from the Gilwood school to Winecoff and from the Bethpage school to Kannapolis.

High school students from the Coddle Creek school, which embraces Iredell county territory, will attend school at Mooresville and a truck will be put in operation for them.

The State College Summer School was in session at that time and 500 boy and girl club representatives were also present in Raleigh, so it was decided to have the institution at Pullen Hall, since the high schools were not in session.

Through the kindness of Mr. T. E. Browne, director of the Summer School, Dr. E. C. Brooks, president of State College, and Mr. Stewart Robertson, professor of Journalism at State College, the arrangements were made and successfully carried out.

Prof. T. E. Browne introduced and presented the speakers. Mrs. Nina H. Covington, instructor in Journalism at the Hugh Morson High School, and Superintendent H. F. Srygley conducted the initiation exercises.

Mr. Josephus Daniels made a most inspiring and interesting speech, in which he congratulated the honor students on the work they had done and gave them some inspiring and helpful advance in regard to newspaper work.

The following were the honor students selected from the Journalism Class of 1925-26 of the Hugh Morson High School. The requirements are: high scholarship in all studies; fine school spirit; and exceptionally good work in Journalism:

W. M. Upchurch Jr.

James Parker
