According to information given out by the Sheriff’s office Monday, Genie Foster was captured in Henderson by the police office of that place on Sunday night and held for the officers of Franklin County. Sheriff Justice dispatched Deputy Sheriff J.S. Rowland to Henderson Monday with papers and instructions to take Genie to Wake County and turn him over to the road force to serve a two-year sentence imposed upon him at the January term of Franklin Superior Court for distilling.
Genie took appeals in the two cases aggregating the two years sentences and the case was sent back without error, Chief Justice Clarke writing the opinion.
In the meantime, Genie had left for parts unknown and had succeeded in evading the officers until Sunday night when he was taken by the Henderson officials. The original cases were tried before Judge E.H. Cranmer.
