Winston-Salem, Jan. 8—Judge Stack in Forsyth Superior Court this afternoon imposed a sentence in the state prison of from 18 months to three years on J.W. Hollingsworth, local attorney, found guilty by a jury on a charge of embezzlement.
The case against Hollingsworth was upon affidavit of Mrs. Mary A. Craddock, who alleged that she furnished Hollingsworth with a sum of money, said to be a fee, with which money the defendant was to appraise the land of the plaintiff and try to secure a loan from a company which he claimed to represent. After a period of time, however, nothing was heard by the prosecuting witness, and later a charge of embezzlement was preferred, it was stated.
