Six months on the roads was sentence imposed on Will Nixon, Winfall man who ran over his neighbor John Caddy, 52, and killed him in Hertford October 25. Nixon didn’t stop. He was arrested when bloodstains were found on his car. He submitted the case when tried in Superior Court, and the friendliness of the families helped in securing a light sentence.
John Colson Jr., known as a notorious violator of the prohibition law, found guilty of selling liquor, appealed from a sentence of 12 months on roads.
