Greensboro, July 31—In municipal court today H.A. Onderdonk, assistant manager of O’Henry hotel, was acquitted of the charge of aiding and abetting in immorality. Dismissal was because of insufficient evidence, Judge Collins stated, Major Turnbee, convicted of occupying a room for immoral purposes, was fined $200 and cost.
Mrs. Haines, alias Mrs. Harris, who was to have been tired with Major Turnboe (Turnbee?), forfeited her bond by leaving High Point where she had been arrested shortly following the issuance of the Greensboro warrants. ?? Cecil, formerly special officer at the hotel had procured the warrant against Onderdonk. He testified that he looked through a transom in early morning on June 27th and that he saw Turnboe and Mrs. Haines together. Arrests of the man and woman followed and charge against Onderdonk was also lodged. Today’s conviction of Turnboe and acquittal of Onderdonk evidently ends matters so far as courts are concerned.
From the front page of The Concord Daily Tribune, Saturday, Aug. 1, 1925. The last name of the man who rented the room was spelled “Turnbee” in the first paragraph of the story and then “Turnboe” three times in the second paragraph.
