Warrant for Arrest of Preacher B.Y. Gibson, Jan. 28, 1924

Warrant for the Arrest of Preacher B.Y. Gibson

Lenoir News-Topic

A warrant for the arrest of B.Y. Gibson, who styled himself a preacher, was received here a day or two ago from North Wilkesboro. The charge in the warrant was that Gibson ad his two women had jumped a board bill of $62. Local officers located Gibson in Newton and instructed the Newton police to arrest and hold him for the North Wilkesboro authorities.

Lenoir folks will remember Gibson. He spent a number of months here and preached on the streets.
