Police Looking for Jim Maples, Jake Smith, June 22, 1921

Moore County Main in Serious Trouble

Carthage, June 22—Jim Maples of Southern Pines is in Moore County jail in default of $5,000 bond, following his arrest on a warrant sworn out by his wife and her brother, charging that Maples held her and forced her to submit to an attack by a negro, Jake Smith.

Smith is at large.

Feeling is intense against both Maples and the negro and open threats were made against them this morning in the hearing before a magistrate.
