Guilty Plea In Assault Case In Police Court
Walter Crawford of 11 West Fifth Street was found guilty on three charges including assault and battery on his wife Mary and Officer Roger W. Mills Jr. The case, heard by Magistrate Manuel M. Weinberg, involved testimony from Sergt. Frach K. Dorsey and Mills about a November 6 incident at the Crawford residence. Crawford’s sentence was deferred for consideration, with the defense arguing alcoholism and a motive to hospitalize him rather than jail him. Additional defendants received suspended or jail terms for drunkenness or forfeited bonds. A widow in Woodsboro reported a break in and theft of a small sum from her home during cornfield work.
