Salisbury, June 22—One white man drew a chain gang term and a white woman was sentenced to the workhouse by Judge Charles Coggins in the Rowan County court Monday.
J.C. Baity, young white man, and Margaret Daniel, young white woman, giving their homes as Winston-Salem, were found asleep beside a Buck roadster, almost in the middle of the highway just beyond Catawba College, by Policemen Kesler Whitley and Wagoner Monday morning about 2 o’clock. They were pretty well filled up on liquor and exhibited quite an indecent exposure situation. In the car was found a score or more of empty pint bottles, one pint bottle, also a siphon and other paraphernalia that give evidence of bootlegging.
Baity was sentenced to 60 days on the roads on a charge of prostitution and the woman was given three months in the workhouse. Baily [Baity?] was also sentenced to four months on the gang on charges of possession, transportation, and having liquor for sale, making a total of six months for him, while the woman was sent to the workhouse for three months for prostitution. The automobile was confiscated and ordered sold in accordance with the law. . . . .
