Durham, April 9—Claims that he had gone to the home of A.M. Medry township constable to get a case of liquor and that he had been selling liquor for the officer for some time made by Arthur Hall fell on unsympathetic ears in recorder’s court where Hall was arraigned on a charge of trespassing after he had been found in the basement of his home. Judge Grantham sentenced him to 6 months on the road from which he gave notice of appeal.
Hall’s record did not help in court. Police officers were invited by constable Maddry to make a search of his home when the negro tried establishing his alibi but declined because of their belief in the absurdity of the negro’s statement.
From page 3 of the Goldsboro News, Saturday morning, April 10, 1926
Name of constable accused of selling liquor was spelled Medry and Maddry. I don’t know which is correct.
