Parowan Times, 31 July 1931, page 4

Charles Niccolls, operator of the moving picture machine at the Thorley theatre in Cedar City was fined $50 and sentenced to four months in the County jail Saturday night when he confessed in Justice Leigh's court to conduct with a seven year old girl charged in the complaint as an assault.

He denied the charges during the trial until the child was placed on the witness stand and then he confessed. He is now in the County bastile here in charge of deputy sheriff L. J. Adams.
