Odum Not Guilty

Goldsboro Man Charged With Abandonment Acquitted at Greensboro

Greensboro, Jan. 29 - The jury in the case against Ivey L. Odum, charged with 
abandoning his wife and failing to provide for her support, last night 
returned a verdict of not guilty. The case had been hard fought. The relatives 
of the wife, who was a Miss Holt before marriage, employed counsel to assist 
the solicitor.

The defendant is from Goldsboro and a member of a good family. He came here 
and married the Holt girl. Later he left her and by habeas corpus proceedings 
obtained custody of the child born to the marriage. The child is now living 
with Odum's parents in Goldsboro. The family of the girl has since prosecuted 
the father in order, he alleges, to regain possession of the child.
