Charlotte, Jan. 23—Rural and city police today were continuing a search for Brady Simpson, 35, Thomasboro white man, who is alleged to have committed criminal assault while with a girl and Knox Brown, 16-year-old white boy, on a wild ride Wednesday night. Brown is in jail here and the girl, Sarah May Hicks, 12-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hicks of Lakewood, is in the custody of her parents.
The Hicks girl was missing from her home Wednesday night but was found Thursday afternoon. She told her parents and officers that she had been persuaded to go on an automobile ride by Simpson and Brown. Simpson is alleged to have criminally assaulted the child during the night after taking her to Kannapolis and other nearby towns. He left her during the night with the Brown boy, according to her story. The Brown boy faces charges of stealing an automobile and of having had improper relations with the girl. He probably will be tried next week.
