Albemarle, Aug. 30 (AP)—J. C. Burleson, keeper of the count home for Stanly county, was given a hearing before Judge Ingram of the county court here today and was found not guilty.
He was charged with an assault of the home 10 days ago. Mr. Burleson did not go on the stand himself but County Welfare Officer (name obscured) Moss, testified for the state and swore that Mr. Burleson confessed to him that he struck the woman (words obscured) with a small peach tree twig. Moss said that when the woman was ?? to the home he did not know she was a bad character.
