Ellis Jarman of Wayne County is said by a story appearing in the Kinston News to be responsible for a charge of violating the prohibition law brought against a prominent Kinston physician.
The News had the following story:
Friends of Dr. Ira M Hardy, well-known and popular Kinston physician who is slated to appear before magistrate M. Foscue tomorrow morning to answer to a charge of transporting spiritous liquors as a result of a warrant sworn out by Ellis Jarman now of Wayne county but who last year was a tenant on Dr. Hardy’s farm in Lenoir count, declare that the whole scheme is a “frame-up” and the result of spirit work and that when the [lines blurred in newspaper article] of health” by the court.
Jarman, as stated above, was a tenant on the Hardy farm last year. Dr. Hardy says that he was compelled to force his removal from the lace for alleged violation of the prohibition law and that Jarman was angry with him on this account.
The preliminary hearing in the case was to have been held yesterday morning but was postponed on account of the absence of material witnesses. Tomorrow morning scores of friends will be on hand to lend moral and substantial assistance to Dr. Hardy in proving to the court that there is absolutely no foundation whatsoever to the charge.
