Serious Conspiracy Case In Carroll County Farm dispute
Charles Webb and Dana Jennings faced a hearing in Surry Superior Court on a conspiracy to defraud charge tied to a cattle for horse trade with W. L. Gwyn. Webb and Jennings contend a fair swap occurred. Gwyn says they misrepresented a horse and used a second, different animal. The case highlights disputed horse quality and alleged plotting near Gwyn’s property. The First Baptist Church of Carrollton cleared its debt on a new building valued above twenty thousand dollars with a final cannon of funds and a ceremony ending the debt.
