tween them to lead Coach D.B.

slumping North Hall squad which
has now dropped four in a row.
Guard Bill Martin sacked 22
points and forward George Mar
tin accounted for 21 as Forsyth
County hurried off to an 11-1
early lead and was never less
than 10 points behind after that.
Tall Jimmy Brooks, who hit
13 points for the night, got 10
of them in the First period as
the Bulldogs built up a 21-9 mar
gin going into the second period.

of all persons charged with of

said docket, either entered by the
court or a clerk, if any clerk. All
cases in said court shall be
tried on written accusations based
upon affidavit of the prosecutor
or by the city attorney for him,
and also by the city attorney.
Said accusation shall plainly and
definitely set forth the specific
charge against the accused, and
shall be subject to the same
strictness of pleading as requir
ed for accusations in State courts.
The accused may demur to said
accusations under the same rules,
and subject to the same ruling, as
provided by law in reference to
demurrers to accusations in the
State courts. The accused may
plead guilty if he so desires, or
he may plead not guilty; in the
latter event the plea puts in is
sue every material allegation of
the accusation. Said police court
shall be clothed with the same
powers as State courts in refer
ence to compelling the attendance
witnesses, subpoenas to be issued
by the clerk of council. Said po
lice court shall also have power
to assess costs against each con
victed defendant, in addition to
a fine.
In the event a convicted de
fendant in said court is dissatis
fied with the judgment or sen
tence of the courts, he shall have
the right within thirty days from
such judgment to certiorari his
case to the’superior court of For
syth County, Georgia, which cen

was the only North Hall man to
'reach double figures. Terry Lin
gerfelt had nine points, Ronnie
Lee eight and Dean Brewer sev

Officers Find
Ring’s Parts
Whether any arrests had been
made since last Thursday in
i connection w'ith the raid on an
j apparent car theft rung in For
j syth County could not be de
i termined shortly before the Tues
-1 day 11 a.m. new’s deadline of
i The Forsyth County News.
A call to the jail office dis
j closed that Mrs. Loy Barnett
was in Forsyth County Hospital
and the sheriff had gone to see
her. Their daughter reported that
Mrs. Barnett’s illness was not
believed serious.
GBI Agent R.C. McCracken and
Sheriff Loy Barnett said, together
with other officers, they moved
in on a one-time grocery store
and found it housing parts of sev
eral dismantled, stolen automo
biles.
McCracken said while officers
were in the building a 1963 Ford
pulled up behind the place, and
two men jumped out and ‘‘posted
bush bond." He said officers rec
j ognized the men, and they will
be arrested.
McCracken said Forsyth Coun
! tian Leon Hughes, in his late
40's, arrived in a truck that “has
been under surveillance” and was
arrested. But Sheriff Barnett said
no charges had been made against
Hughes this morning, pending in
vestigation.
The sheriff said, “I’ve had the
place under surveillance for sev
eral days” and said recently ne
watched late into the nights.
Acting on a tip, Barnett said
he, McCracken, Deputy Hoyt Bur
russ, NATB Agent J.T. McKib
bon and several officers from the
Atlanta Theft Squad made then
move about 10 o’clock. He said
when officers arrived “everyone
was gone” but later the truck
bearing Hughes and the Ford
j with the two men in it appear
ed.
Barnett said “it was a torch
operation”, and officers found
parts of a 1964 Oldsmobile, a 1962
or 1963 Oldsmobile, a 1963 Ford
and a 1955 Chevrolet. He noted
that operators have been cutting
up the frames, “into small
pieces,” and disposing of them on
Sawnee Mountain at a garbage
dump.
Barnett said he found “several”
pieces of a Chevrolet at the dump,
together with the severed car
frames.
The Ford abandoned by the tv o
j men who posted “bush bond” was
| confiscated, McCracken said, and
NATB Agent J.T. McKibbon’s
| files revealed the car was stolen.
Barnett said a Ford found cut
up in the building was “stolen
I and stripped yesterday.” Mc
! Cracken said the owner of the
automobile arrived from DeKalb
County and made identification.
