Abstract:

This article examines the 1931 fire at the Samarcand Manor Industrial Training School for girls in Moore County, North Carolina. Sixteen girls were indicted for starting the fire, which destroyed two residence halls. Based partially on the school's harsh treatment of the girls, the judge imposed lesser sentences than was normally required by law.
