Ward Sentenced To Serve 10 Months
Newton, July 12--Catawba county superior court convened here this morning at 10 o'clock with Judge McElroy of Marshall presiding and Solicitor Johnson J. Hayes of Wilkesboro as prosecuting attorney.
The first case brought up was that of C.R. Ward of Hickory, charged with immorality and assault. He was tried before Recorder Pruitt at Hickory several months ago and sentenced to the chain gang for 10 months from which sentence he appealed to the supreme court.
Judge McIlroy sentenced him to 6 months on the Mecklenburg county chain gang and fined him $250 onone count and the cost in all cases.
A big crowd is attending court and the case of Kohler Holtsclaw, charged with the murder in last December of John W. Gabriel of Terrell, which will come up this week, will draw a big crowd.
