Newton, March 13—Bud Lippard, Catawba’s notorious bootlegger, is again in the Newton jail, having been arrested in Salisbury. Sheriff Bost, upon being notified of his arrest, sent Deputy W.C. Curlee to Salisbury after him. Lippard was sentenced to the county jail for 18 months for violating the prohibition law, but was later pardoned by Governor Morrison. After he was paroled, he again violated the prohibition laws and the Governor revoked the parole. Since that time he has been dodging officers. Caposes had been sent to all nearby towns. At the time Lippard was convicted in the Catawba Superior Court, he was crippled, walking on crutches, and the judge sentenced him to the county jail instead of the chain gang. He had served only two months of the19-month sentence when he was granted a parole.
