Supreme Court Clerk Adrian Newton said Miss Sharp had set Miss Little's bond at 000, the same she is now under. and had stated that when the bond is sent in and approved by her a stay of execution will be issued delaying Miss Little's return to jail at least until the court rules on her plea that the court hear her appeal from the breaking and entering sentence. The North Carolina Court of Appeals recently found no error the trial last year in Beaufort County in which Miss Little was convicted of breaking into mobile homes in the vicinity of Washington, N.C. Miss Little was in the Beaufort County Jail awaiting appeal of the breaking and entering verdict in August 1974 when she fatally stabbed jailer Clarence Alligood in what she said was a sexual assault. She was acquitted of murder in the Alligood case last summer in a trial which attracted international attention.

Attorneys for Miss Little have stated that if they lose her appeals in the North Carolina courts, they will take the case to federal court.
