Hudnall Case Explained by Magistrate
The case in Bedford Township concerns Mrs. Blanche Hudnall who was fined 80 dollars and jailed 20 days for receiving money taken by Charles Sargent and her son Donald Hudnall from Liberty Hudnall 82. The sentence allows 10 dollar monthly payments and requires the costs be paid and for her to marry Roy Chaney within two weeks after release. The Juvenile Court youths testified they gave her amounts of stolen money but she never received more than 20 dollars at a time, moving the charge from felony to misdemeanor. The boys admit stealing about 300 dollars since May or June, and all three remain in Meigs County Jail.
