Young Men on Way to Florida Given 30 Days on Roads, Aug. 29, 1925

Florida-Bound Youths Get 30 Days on Roads. . . Sentenced to Spend Term When an Alleged Attempt to Steal Gallon of Oil Is Made

Three young men on their way to Florida where they hoped to secure work are spending 30 days in the county, doing work on the county roads.

They came to grief in Kannapolis where it is alleged that they attempted to pilfer a gallon of oil for their automobile and were unsuccessful in the attempt. In a trial at the recorder’s court in the city, they were sentenced to do hard labor on the county roads for the offense.

The three men were Austin Dakin, 19, whose family has recently moved from the north to Little River, Fla.; Clifford Miner, 20, of Glenn, Mass.; and George Brown, 23, of Philadelphia.
