Durham, Aug. 31—Dr. H. D. Stembridge, dentist, who was arraigned before the recorder today on charges of drunkenness, was allowed to leave the city without a sentence being imposed. The verdict was rendered at 11:30 this morning, stating that capias would be issued if the defendant had not left the city by 12:30 o’clock. The dentist was ordered to leave the city last Saturday by the court, when he had been tried on charges of drunkenness and operating without a license. He was given until today to leave, but was arrested Sunday morning again on a drunkenness charge and held until today. Stembridge asked that he be allowed to leave the city, stating that he would immediately leave. This plea was accepted by the judge, who gave him one hour in which to leave. Dr. Stembridge complied with the request and left before the hour had passed.
Editor’s Note: A capias is an arrest warrant.
