Every person charged with a crime is presumed to be innocent until his guilt is established by the Commonwealth beyond all reasonable doubt, and if there is upon the mind of the jury any reasonable doubt of the gui It of the accused, the law makes it your duty to acquit the accused, Walter Mo Norvelle. This presumption of innocence goes with Mro Norvelle throughout the entire case, and applies at every stage thereof. Reasonable doubt in every criminal case is not mere form to be disregarded by the jury, but it is an active, substantial part of the law of this land and before you can convict Walter M. Norvelle in this case, you must have an abiding faith in the truth of the charge and, based on the evidence in the case, believe that he is guilty beyond all reasonable doubt. The mere suspicion or probability of his guilt, however strong, is not sufficient to convict, preponderance nor is it sufficient if the greater weight or of the evidence supports the charge, Walter M. Norvelle, but in order to convict his guilt must be proved so clearly that there is no reasonable theory consistent with the evidence upon which he can be innocent. The jury is not at Iiberty to guess and where a fact is equally susceptible of two interpretations, of the accused, him. one of which is consistent with the innocence you cannot arbitrarily adopt that interpretation The accused is not required to prove his innocence, considering all the evidence, of Walter M. Norvelle, "not gui lty 11 • which incriminates and if after you entertain a reasonable doubt of the gui It then it is your duty and you must return a verdict of ��COMMONWEALTH Ve NORVELLE C INSTRUCTION In considering burden of proving Court instructs able" the guilt the jury nor its reason, whether and is not to be confused imaginable, conceivable In passing must limit of this case, The jury cannot proof tial of evidence, from conflicting to the proof cerning after a convinced in such a state of the guilt Commonwealth has failed to meet its If, hand, sideration viction reasonable of all the evidence of the truth doubtc ;/;/ the at the trial inferences to be to create doubt, of guilt. in mind that any doubt arising or from questionable fact essen- and not a mere doubt con- circumstances. and honest belief on the other presented inferences testimony of the accused a reasonable for of the charge, should be a doubt of a material and nonessential your minds are left from reaching should bear of the guilt immaterial If, evidence, to find the jury fact, of the proof and reasonable Furthermore, of any particular doubt, beyond every go beyond such evidence nor can you go beyond such evidence from lack or possible doubt. to the evidence the natural the the word "reason- a man must be proved guilty consideration including drawn therefrom. with imaginable or possible doubt, doubt is a doubt which is founded on upon the sufficiency its beyond reasonable you should not overlook A reasonable the law does not say that jury of the accused that meaning. or not the Commonwealth has met its of all of the of doubt as to prevent of the accused, you then the burden. after an impartial in the case, of the charge, consideration and reasonable you have an abiding you are then satisfied con- con- beyond all ��COMMONWEALTH v.

Title A name given to the resource Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases Description An account of the resource This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years. Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.

Conrad Commonwealth's Attorney • I �PRE-SENTENCE INVESTIGATION Staunton., Virginia October 25, 1948 .American NAME Warren LeRoy Temple CITIZENSHIP ADDRESS 388 North Mason Street Harrisonburg, Virginia MARITAL STATUS Married NO. OF DEPENDENTS Two AGE 27 RACE Colored SEX Male OFFENSE· Statutory Rape OFFENSE On or about the night of May 18, 1946, the defendant picked up Beatrice Inrett at the Chicken Shack on Wall Street in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The defendant had been drinking beer with Charlene Lee and Norman Harris when Beatrice joined the party. After spending some time in the restaurant, these four people left the restaurant and drove to a hollow near Vesuvius, Virginia. They parked the car on a partially hidden dirt road and while Charlene Lee and Nonnan Harris took a short walk in the near-by woods, Warren LeRoy Temple showed his affections upon Beatrice Tu.rett. The victim did not object to his advances. In fact, it is understood that she had had intimacy with the subject on various other occasions and there are some implications that she has had relations with other men. The defendant states that he did not realize that Beatrice was only 14 years of age and since he had only known her for a period of three months prior to the offense, he had not inquired into her family history. PRIORRECORD only two charges are as follows: FAMILY m:sroRY could be found on the court records 7-15-42 Disorderly conduct 3-1-43 Disorderly conduct in Rockingham County. 10 days (suspended on good behavior 6 months) Costs $5.50 Fine $7.50, costs $5.50 They of Warren LeRoy Temple is the oldest ch.i.ld in a family of three. He is the son of Ruby Edi th and Junius Temple. Junius Temple was employed for 14 years by Mr. T. N. Thompson who OlVlledand operated a f'rw. t orchard east of Harrisonburg. When this orchard changed hands, Junius became the janitor at the colored high school. He passed away in February of 1937 and up until this time, he enjoyed an excellent reputation. Ruby Temple enjoys an equally good reputation. Both she and her husband were the children of Methodist ministers and were reared in religious homes. Therefore, they attempted to bring their three sons up in the same environment that they had known as children. Warren LeRoy, as his two brothers Wendell and James, enjoyed a normal childhood life. They were given the opportunity to become thoroughly educated and proved themselves to be above the average student in the Harrisonburg colored high school. On June 26, 1943, the subject was inducted in the u. s. Anny. He was transferred over-seas on June 22, 1944 and discharged on February 15, 1946. Warren LeRoy reached the rank of Sergeant and was discharged in this capacity 1'f.i. th an excellent service record. Upon his discharge from the Anny, the subject did not settle down to finding a permanent job but hung around undesirable places for a period of three months. It was during this period of adjustment that he became involved with the victim, Beatrice Durett, and committed the offense with which he is now charged. ��Warren LeRoy Temple Page 2 H6M.EAND NEIGHBORHOOD The present home in which he now resides w.i.th his mother and wife, is a sixroom stru.cture located in a colored neighborhood that is peacefully settled and few disturbances happen in this innnediate vicinity. The house is in good condition, kept well, and furnished much better than the average colored home of Harrisonburg. Mrs. Temple was able to buy this home w.i.th the money that her three sons sent her while they were in the Army. EDUCATION The subject graduated from high school in 1137 at the age of 16. Proffessor Harris, the colored school principal., states that this boy graduated third in a class of 10. However, the proffessor further declared that he could have graduated higher in his class if he had applied himself more readily to his studies. The boy's school record shows that be was an excellent student and has no record or truancy. After graduating from high school, he wished to go to college, but due to the death of his father four months prior to his graduation, he went to work in order to support his mother. EMPLOlMENT Upon graduation from high school, the subject took a job as a porter with the Greyhound Bus Terminal'--~l_Ie received no fixed compensation for this job, but declared his income to"be--between $15 and $20 per week. This included his tips a.nd any extra money that he would make at the bus station. He worked here for a period of three years. It was then that he was drafted into the Anny. In June of 1946, the subject was hired as a porter for People's Drug Store in Harrisonburg. He is still employed there at a wage of $31.50 a week. Mr. Bell, bis present employer, states that the boy is above the average colored employee. That he has proved himself to be intelligent, ha.rd working, honest, and capable. In fact, he states that he would hate to lose such an employee because they are hard to find today. RELIGION This boy's family has been a member of the Harrisonburg Methodist Church their entire life. Up until the time he entered the service, he was a regular attendant; but since his discharge from the Army, he has neglected the church. However, be has been raised in a religious atmosphere. INTERESTS& ACTIVITIES Warren claims that he enjoys be an ardent reader. HEALTH The defendant has no serious good health. However, it is of tuberculosis, but Warren that he is not infected with SUMMARY Warren LeRoy Temple comes from a reputable colored family who have lived the greater pa.rt of their lives in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The subject enjoyed the normal benefits that most children in this area are entitled to. He proved himself to be a very apt student in school and has the reputation of being an excellent worker. The subject now lives with his mother in a six room frame house in a good colored neighborhood and is her chief support. He married on August 7, 1948 and his wife is expecting a child w.i.thin the next five months. .It the present time, this is a very compatible marriage and the girl is from a fairly reputable family. They are members of the Methodist Church and as a whole they seem to be very interested in religious activities. The family appears to be in good health. The subject is a steady employee for People's Drug Store and received a wage above the average of colored people in such sports as football and baseball and claims to heal th problem and his family seem to be enjoying worth while to note that his father was a victim claims that he has had several check-ups to prove the same disease. ��Warren LeRoy Temple Page 3 this vicinity. The only financial problem at the present time is keeping his pa.~ents on the furnishings that he has bought for a realatively new home. PLAN This young boy who is in serious difficulty for the first time in his life, presents a dif.ficul t problem. He bas had a hard time be caning readjusted to civilian life after three years in the U. s. Anny. There is no excuse for the offense that he has committed and it is not right for the child to suffer for the sins that the mother and father have committed. However, since this boy has many virtuous qualities, I feel that it 'WOU.1.d be beneficial to the public to place him on probation for a period of time with the special stipulation that he contimie the small contribution of $5.00 per week to the upkeep of the child.

Returned to Home Roy Smith lived alone in a big frame dwelling. He is believed to have taken the short cut to his home after the shooting. He was not reported in the community after the shots were fired. Deputy Sheriff Glen Wilcox said they knew of Roy Smith's reputation for shooting, particularly if he was "mad and drinking" and they did not think it worth the chance to go to the house until he fell asleep. Wilcox added that they had no fear that Roy Smith would run away. It was not until the armored car was driven in front of the Roy Smith home and the loud speakers blared away with commands for him to come out did he arouse. Officers said he is particularly hard of hearing. Roy Smith came out meekly into the yard which was surrounded By Sheriff Strawderman and his deputies, State Police Sgt. Harry L.

Willie Coakley, age about 43, and wife, Delana Coakley, age about 42, were born and raised in the Sangersville area. They have one child, Dennis Dean Coakley, born 11-30-39. At present time Dennis is at home with his mother and unemployed. Willie Coakley owns a home near Sangersville where his wife lives. Mar:il:al troubles arose during the past year over Mr. Coakle~alleged affair with a woman by the name of Lillian Mccurdy. Both lived in the same apartment house at 345 Myrtle Street, Harrisonburg. This affair led to the separation of Mr. Coakley and wife and the filing of the Non-support petition. Employment: Willie Coakley has been employed by Merck and Company for 15 years. His present earnings (gross) according to his statement are regularly about $383 per month. In addition there is some overtime pay. He said he claims only his wife a dependent for income tax purposes. Finances: Willie Coakley stated he is under financial strain. He says he makes $86.00 a month payment on a new Ford and has not paid his 1957 County taxes. Also,he said he is under Court order to pay $15.00 per week to his wife. We presume his living arrangement is the same as it was in February 1958 at which time he said his room rent was $5.00 per week. Our DFWrecords show that since the Court order on 11-2-56 to 8-1-58 (21 months) defendant has made 13 $40.00 payments on behalf of his father which leaves him delinquent eight months,or $320. He stated the reason he stopped with his last payment on 2-28-58 was that he learned when preparing his Federal income tax report.that he could not claim his father a dependent. Health: Willie Coakley said he has trouble working. with his back and doesn't always feel like Defendant's Story: Willie Coakley said he does not feel he owes his father any support as his father never did anything for him. He has given support begrudgingly and only because he was under Court order. He feels his brother should give some support,too. At first he said he would rather go to jail than give support, but later he seemed to realize that the easiest way out for him might be to comply with the Court rder and pay all in arrears within a reasonable time. He said it would be impossible to pay the $320 in arrears at once, but he believed he might if given sufficient time. He said he would offer a plan for the amount in arrears. He did not indicate his refusal to resume the present Court order payments of $40.00 per month. Summary: A broken home,for which it seems defendant is partly responsible, has placed additional financial strain on defendant. His attitude for acceptance of social and legal responsibility toward his dependents is not good. We recognize the Court order of $15.00 per week to his wife places defendant in somewhat �., ,. �Page Three of a less favorable financial situation than if he and his wife maintained a home together. However, we believe he could still continue sup ort to his father according to the original order of 11-2-56. Plan: We recommend that Willie Coakley be ordered to offer an acceptable plan for paying the $320 in arrears and to continue monthly payments of $40.00 per month. -~ (Miss) Ethel~ Case Worker ES/md CAC/Supt.

December 8., 1947 NAME: John Winston Orebaugh ADDRESS:27 Creek St., Harrisonburg, 37 AGE: OFFENSE PRIOR RECORD Va. MARITALSTATUS: Married NO. OF DEPENDEN'IS: Four RACE: White SEX: .CITIZENSHIP: Am.erican OFFENSE: Drunk Driving & Manslaughter Male On Saturday, May 31, 1947, at about 8:26 in the evening a car allegedly operated by the above named subject struck Noah Dellinger, forty-seven year old resident of Timberville, as he was crossing the street in the middle of the five hundred block on North Main Street in Harrisonburg. At the time he was struck Dellinger was said to be about six feet from the west sidewalk. The investigating officer stated that Dellinger's body was carried on the car for approximately ninety feet from the point he was hit and that after the body came off of the car the car traveled approximately thirty feet beyond. Judging from a photograph viewed by the reporting officer the car was pretty badly battered after the accident. Two Fi.arrisonburg officers arrived at the scene shortly thereafter and it is said that at the time of their arrival Orebaugh was staggering drunk while his companion in the car, Wilson Whitmore, was practically beyond the point of locomotion. It is understood that Whitmore is Orebaugh 1 s brother-in-la'V'T and that the two had been on quite a drinking party prior to the accident. Orebaugh I s version of the offense differs on several points. He stated to the officer that in the first place he was not driving the car but that Whi unore was under the wheel at the time of the collision and that he, Orebaugh, was standing trial in his place. He stated further that the man he was alleged to have hit stepped out from between two parked cars and that immediately after the collision the parked cars pulled out and left. 'Ihis statement was followed by Orebaugh 1 s remark that as nearly as he can dete . ine there were no eye witnesses to the accident. The officer also noted that while it is the subject's claim that he was not driving, in describing his progress along the street he talked as though he were the driver of the vehicle that was involved in the accident. He is probably in a very confused state as to what actually occurred. The speed of the car at the time of t.h.e collision was placed by Orebaugh at about 25 or 30 miles per hour. - The subject's prior 7-22-35 12-24-34 7-21-34 Malicious Destruction of Property Larceny of three turkeys Driving Drunk Escaped from Harrisonburg Street Force Fined $25 Costs ~17.97 Two months in jail Fined $100 Costs $12.50 Returned to jail Drunk Fined $2.50 Costs $6.50 Fined $10 Costs $6.S.o 8-5-34 9-6-36 8-21-37 6-25-38 record consists of the following: Dr1.1nk Charged with attempting to shoot T.

Norvelle proceeded to the subject's home and found that be had fled. Also, he was slated for appearance in court on the current charge and on the day he was to appear he was too drunk to get there. The officer who was sent to get h:iln s ta. ted that he was seated behind his kitchen stove and that when he was informed t.1-).a t he had been summoned to appear in court he made a very obscene remark and refused to make any attempt to go. Orebaugh was drinking at the time the reporting officer interviewed him and he frankly admitted being a heavy drinker since he was about twenty years of age. FAMILYHISTORY The family Father, consists of the folloring: Oscar Orebaugh * John Winston Orebaugh Wife, Lucy V. Orebaugh Son, Oscar David Orebaugh Daughter, Juanita Orebaugh Son, Richard Orebaugh age age age age age age 71 37 36 20 17 14 Broadway, 27 Creek 27 Creek 27 Creek 27 Creek 27 Creek Virginia St., Harrisonburg St., Harrisonburg st., Harrisonburg st., Harrisonburg St., Harrisonburg Va. Va. Va. Va. Va. It is understood that the subject's father, Oscar Orebaugh, is a retired railroad inspector and has never been in any serious trouble and drinks moderately. The subject's wife is not believed to have been in any major trouble and she is employed in the pants factory in Harrisonburg. The subject's daughter, Juanita., works at the Harrisonburg Shirt Factory and is said to be expecting an illegitimate child in the near future. This family originally came from Broadway but has lived in Harrisonburg approximately ten years. Most of the relatives and family connections are still in the Broadway vicinity and the father owns a small piece of property there. HCl!E& NEIGHBORHOOD The house is a large frame house covered with stucco and appears to be in a fair state of repairs. It is a double house divided into two apartments. It has been occupied by the Orebaugh family for the past five years. The neighborhood is a rather poor one and the property is surrounded by industry and business establishments. The house faces on a small creek which runs through the town. It was observed that the subject talked very roughly in front of his family and set a bad exa~ple through continued drunkenness in the home. ��3 EDUCATION The subject states that he finished the fifth grade in Broadway. School. He did not like school and it is fairly well apparent he did not progress as rapidly as he could or should. He left school at about fifteen and got married the following year when only sixteen years of age. He has had some subsequent training as a pants presser and in laying brick and cinder blocks. RELIGION The subject INTERESTS & ACTIVITIES states that he is not a church member and has no interest in church. Orebaugh expresses himself interested in movies and reading comic books. He claims he is a member of the V. F. w. Post in Harrisonburg but frankly admits that one of his pleasures is having a few drinks. He expressed to t..h.e officer a great interest in playing the horses. HEALTH Orebaugh claims tha. t he was operated on for kidney stones while in the Army in 1943 and that he broke a foot while in Honolulu in 1942. He feels that there is a possibility that he may be having more trouble with kidney stones at this time. Other than this his health is all right. His family's health is good with the exception of Mrs. Orebaugh. She recently spent thirty-two days in the hospital and has to return. EMPLOYMENT Orebaugh's first employment was in laboring jobs around Broadway. In 1938 he went to work in the pants factory in Harrisonburg and stayed there until 1942. According to a photos-tat of his army service record he enlisted October 21., 1942, and was discharged September 22, 1945. His service record is honorable and nothing could be noted on the discharge section that indicated Orebaugh ran into difficulty while in the service. Since his release Orebaugh states that he has worked for Dr. Paul Hill; Mr. Whitney, Mr. Brantley, Mr. M.A. Layman and Mr. Jess Cash; mainly laying brick and cinder blocks. At the time of the interview the subject claimed that he had not worked for about two weeks and by way of excuse stated he was worried over his pending trial and over the previously mentioned condition of his daughter. He has apparently be~n drinking very heavily for some tj__yue. RESOURCES Orebaugh states that $5000 life insurance SUMW.RY The subject was allegedly the driver of a car which struck and killed Noah Dellinger Saturday, May 31, 1947. It appears that Orebaugh was considerably under the influence of alcoholic beverages at the time of the accident. The reporting officer found an extensive prior record on the subject dating back to 1934. The Orebaugh family is originally from Broadway but for the past ten years they have lived in Harrisonburg in a good house located in a ratrer poor neighborhood. The subject's formal education was neglected and he expre ses no interest in religion. His interests consist of reading comic books, movies, and drinking. His health at this time appears to be satisfactory although he his resources at this time consist almost entirely of a policy and personal property valued at about $1.800. ��4 expresses fear of kidney stones. The subject's employment has consisted mainly of jobs that he could pick up and has been very irregular. He has no money saved and no bonds but claims he has a $5000 Life Insurance Police and about'$1800 in personal property. PLA.N The reporting officer makes no recommendation. treatment for acute alcoholics would be a first It is probable that a course of step in rehabilitation. Respectfully yours, ·~.

Title A name given to the resource Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases Description An account of the resource This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years. Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.
