G.W. Spivey Withdrew Appeal, Now On Roads; George Faircloth Paid Bond and Is Out of Jail, Feb. 7, 1924

G.W. Spivey, who was convicted in superior court last week and sentenced to serve 18 months on the roads, from which judgment he appealed to the superior court, has withdrawn his appeal and left Monday to begin serving his sentence on the roads.

Waitus, Carter, Roy Carter and Levia Hilburn, who all entered appeals from sentences imposed upon them, are still in jail, having been unable to furnish the appeal bonds of $1,500 that was required in each case.

George Faircloth, another prisoner drawing a chain gang sentence and who likewise entered an appeal to the supreme court, has given his appeal bond and is at liberty.
