Arrest offs Prominent Citizen.

ROANOKE, Va. Sept. Especial Paul
W. Pope. former prominent and popular
real estate agent, was arrested last night at
the instance of G. Ii. Daw, of Boston. who
charged that Pope had defrauded him out
OF $1,000. IL appears that Pope had bor-
rowed this amount of Daw. and. not beng
able to repay 1t at maturity. solicited an
extension of time. Daw agreed TO this on
condition that he was to have the same in
dorser on the note and a first mortgage,
sending Pope a release deed. This was
recorded. and Pope gave.a building and loan
association first mortgage on his property
for IS, 900, sending Daw a second mortgage.
Learning of Popes assignment last week
Daw came here. and. not being able to get
Q satisfactory settlement from him. pro-
cured his arrest To-day Police Justice
Turner heard the case sending Pope on to
the grand jury, accepting bond OF $4,000
for bis appearance. Pope is son of Major
A. Pope, late general freight agent of the
Norfolk and Western. and on Thursday
buried his only child in Holly wood, al
Richmond. Great sympathy is expressed
for him. and bis arrest fell upon the con-
munity like thunder clap in a clear sky.
