Warrants against Estell Halsey, John Black and Ralph Richardson of Alleghany have been returned to Sheriff Carson unserved.

The case against George Halsey has not been prossed because of mistaken identity.

The case was set for 10 o’clock today but was continued until 12 o’clock due to the delayed arrival of Attorney A.A. Whitnert of Hickory, who represents the state.

B.E. Jenkins, Winston-Salem merchant, recently sentenced to two years on the county roads in Greensboro in connection with the case, was brought to Taylorsville in custody of a Guilford county officer.
