Hearing Of State To Secure Bank Case Money For Taxes Postponed
BREVARD. Feb. 27.-The hearing in the state's attachment proceedings against a $30,000 deposit by four Transylvania county men under sentence for bank law violations, scheduled to have been held before W. E. Breese, referee, here yesterday afternoon, was continued upon application of attorneys for the defendants. By consent of Assistant Attorney General T. Wade Bruton, representing the state, the date of the hearing was postponed until Tuesday, March 6. It will be held in Brevard.
The attachment was filed for collection of $5,200 in income taxes for 1929 and 1930 from J. H. Pickelsimer, one of the defendants, and his brother, C. W. Pickelsimer.
The four men who are under sentence of from two to three years are: J. H. Pickelsimer, Thomas Shipman, Ralph R. Fisher, and C. R. McNeely. They were to begin their sentences February 15, but were granted habeas corpus writs by Judge T. B. Finley, who, following a hearing at Marion, reserved decision until March 5, when he will open Superior Court at Hendersonville.
The sum of $30,000 was posted by the four convicted men as restitution. On this basis the men sought executive clemency, but Governor Ehringhaus declined to grant it.
