Kinston, Oct. 19—Indictment of Arden W. Taylor, sheriff of Lenoir county, on two counts charging immorality with Bessie Cannon, was announced at the court house here today. The grand jury returned true bills against both the official and the young woman, alleging statutory offenses. The jury’s action was the first sensational development since Monday morning when it was supposed to begin consideration of 239 presentments made by the August grand jury. Taylor has been sheriff of the county many years and is popular. The jury also returned true bills against T.E. Thackston, said to have been a deputy sheriff at one time, and Mrs. Norma Fly, charging immorality.
