    "head_matter": "STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA v. PAUL WILLIAM WHITE\nNo. 741SC411\n(Filed 3 July 1974)\nAppeal from Martin, Perry, Judge, 12 November 1973 Session of Pasquotank County Superior Court. Heard in the Court of Appeals 17 June 1973.\nDefendant was charged in a valid bill of indictment with the common law robbery of Garry and Debbie Hooker. Through his court-appointed counsel defendant entered a plea of not guilty, and the following evidence was presented by the State.\nGarry Hooker testified that defendant entered the Phillips 66 service station operated by Hooker and his wife and asked to use the restroom. When defendant emerged from the restroom, Hooker and his wife, Debbie, were standing beside the cash register. Defendant opened his coat, displayed a pistol shoved into his pants, and demanded the money from the cash register. Hooker handed defendant a Wachovia Bank bag containing $265.\nDuring the robbery, the station was well lighted and defendant was \u201cat arm\u2019s length away\u201d from the cash register. Hooker testified that he had occasion to observe defendant\u2019s clothing and his facial and physical characteristics.\nLater, on the evening of the robbery, Hooker identified defendant after he had been apprehended by deputies. In court Hooker identified the robber as being defendant, Paul William White.\nHooker testified that as defendant left the scene of the robbery, he crossed the Knobbs Creek Bridge on foot. After the officers apprehended defendant, they searched the area of the bridge and found a blue Wachovia money bag and a four-inch plastic toy pistol. Also in that vicinity the officers discovered footprints which in their opinions were made by the shoes worn by defendant at the time of his arrest. These shoes conformed to the description Hooker gave of the robber\u2019s foot-gear.\nDefendant\u2019s motion for nonsuit was denied, and he elected not to offer evidence. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and defendant appealed.\nAttorney General Morgan, by Assistant Attorney General Webb, for the State.\nJennette, Morrison and Austin, by John S. Morrison, for defendant appellant."
