Lee Beaver Guilty of Contempt of Court for Not Showing Up to Testify, May 9, 1926

Contempt of Court

Salisbury, May 8—Judge T. Bryson, presiding over Rowan superior court, sentenced two white men, Raymond Correll and Lee Beaver, to 10 days in jail for contempt of court. Correll had persuaded Beaver to remain away from court after the latter had been subpoenaed as a witness in a liquor case against John Walker. Correll drew his sentence for being instrumental in keeping Beaver away and Beaver was punished for acceding to the pleadings of Correll. Walter, the liquor law violator, got six months on the roads.
