Widow Acquitted of Getting Stolen Goods

Charlotte, Aug. 31—Mrs. Herman Fincher, whose husband was killed last Wednesday in an automobile accident near Sylva, today was freed of charges involving receiving stolen goods.

Fincher, who was employed as a chauffeur by Mrs. Frank Gore of Midland near Charlotte, was alleged to have stolen a number of articles from Mrs. Gore and to have taken them to his home.

Mrs. Fincher said she did not know her husband had stolen the goods. “He told me he bought them,” she testified before Magistrate S. S. Stokes.
