Charles Foster, Solomon Casey to Face Liquor Charges, Sept. 3, 1926

Negroes Bound Over to Court—Liquor Charge

Charles A. Foster and Solomon Casey, Waynesville negroes, were arrested here Monday by Chief of Police Coffey on a charge of transporting liquor. The arrest was made on Main street; the negroes had a pint can, half full, Mr. Coffey said.

The preliminary hearing was held before Mayor R.D. Sink and the negroes were bound to Superior court. Bond was fixed at $200 each, and $300 for the car which they were driving.
