Greensboro, June 26—Bond will be furnished by Claude E. Meeks, arrested in Winston-Salem when he came back there from Birmingham, Ala., with the body of a step-sister, Myrtle Plowman, aged 14, Tuesday night. A federal warrant charging violation of the white slave law was issued for him, but Deputy Ila Marshal of the federal court forces here, has not yet received it for service. His attorney is ready, however, to have the bond put up, it was learned today.
Meeks will in all probability be turned over by Guilford county authorities to federal officers, although he was sentenced to two years on the roads on a charge of abandoning his wife and three children here. He left them when he ran off with the Plowman girl. He appealed from the sentence in municipal court, and the graver charge against him will probably take precedent over the state charge of abandonment.
It is disclosed that the girl died in Birmingham giving birth to a child.
