With 62 criminal cases on the docket to be disposed of, Judge M.V. Barnhill of Rocky Mount will tomorrow morning convene a two-weeks’ term of Wayne county superior court, and indications are that the entire term will be consumed in disposing of the unusually large docket.
This term was originally set for the trial of both criminal and civil cases, but upon agreement of attorneys, it was decided to devote it entirely to the disposal of criminal cases, in an effort to rid the docket of these. In case the criminal actions are disposed of in time, it is possible that the civil docket will be gone into.
The cases of the docket range all the way from violations of sanitary law to rape and murder, with larceny, housebreaking, reckless driving of automobiles, embezzlement, and half a score of other crimes thrown in for good measure.
