Salisbury, July 26—Rather than let their father know of their plight, Misses Virginia and Vivian Cosby, pretty wins of Raleigh, spent Sunday in jail here, sharing with H.A. Adkins of Albemarle, charges of operating an automobile while intoxicated, being drunk and disorderly and with possessing and transporting liquor.
The case grew out of an incident at Cleveland, near here Saturday when the three young people refused to “back up” when caught on a narrow road where it was impossible to pass a car they met, and according to witnesses the girls were rather free with profanity.
They denied knowing about liquor in the car or that they had been drinking, and said the young man, wo was a friend of theirs, was taking them to Asheville. In county court today, he was fined $50 and the girls were let off with costs and a continued judgment for two years on good behavior.
