WALTER DANIEL NOW IN JAIL.
He Was Caught at the Union Depot
Early Yesterday Morning

AT the Union depot early yesterday
morning, with muddled brain, a
frightened look and a breath that smelt
like Kentucky moonshine outfit, Walter
Daniels was arrested. He went there
to catch an outgoing train, but the police
were expecting just such move on his
part and they went there to catch him.
Readers of yesterday mornings News
and Observer remember that Monday
might Daniels, q white man who clerks
for man named Worlds, put a quart
of mean liquor under his shirt and a big
pistol in his hip pocket and went out in
East Raleigh ''sassiety." He called on
two ladies of yellow complexion and
shady characteristics Annie Harrison
and her boarder Miss Anna Belle Will
liams.
Now the mayor had developed n strong
opposition to Annals presence in the city
| and had given her 4S hours to depart for
| more congenial climes. Daniels seems
to have developed an equally strong at
tachment for her and swore she should
| not depart. He seemed to attach all the
| blame to the Harrison woman and so
he pulled his gun and proceeded to make
| things lively by shooting her in the hand,
chasing her to his employers store, near
| by, and there threatening to murder
| everybody in sight and himself in the
| bargain.
1t was with difficulty that he was pre-
| vented carrying out this programme. Be
| fore the police arrived, however, he escap-
ed to be caught several hours later. He
was tried yesterday morning by the mayor
| and bound over to court. In default OF
| 800 bail he was sent on to Jail.

THE TREASURY HIS BANK.

Members of the Legislture and clerks
usually draw their pay during the session,
and almost always they DO so before go

rule. He is neither in immediate need of
his money nor afraid tC tr1lst the State
with it. Indeed, he seems to be making
the Treasury his bank. Two years ago
he was clerk in the House and it was
some twelve months after that body adj
journed before he drew his pay. This
time he was member and even now his
per diem and mileage is in the State
Treasury to his credit, not enc cent or it

Queer Attachment of Good Woman to
a Bad Man.

Total, $S01, 359.25.

Governor Russell yesterday issued i
pardon to a young Frenchman, Emile
Thoms, who is now on the Buncombe
county roads for one year for carrying
concealed weapons
Thoms is from Philadelphia, and there
by hangs romance, a crime and the
aforesaid pardon Thoms lived in the
French district of the City of Brotherly
Love. Miss Mary Boyd is missionary
in that section She frequently saw
young Thoms in her work, and, it is said,
became very fond of him.
But her love was soon destined to a
rude shock. Scarcely out of his teens,
the young man ran away with another
mans wife and came to Asheville. There
he led wild life and was finally arrested
for carrying gun about in his pocket.
Then the court got even with hlm Tor
running away with the other mans wife
by giving his twelve months at hard labor
on the county roads
Miss Boyd heard of Thoms' fate. Wo-
man-like, she at once forgave all and
from that day to this she has never wa
vcred in her effort to have him pardoned.
She got the good people Of Philadelphia
to write the Governor letters asking that
the young man be released Among
these was letter from Gov. Hastings
of Pennsylvania. The people of Ashe-
vile were also visited by the plucky little
woman and letters from twelve physi-
clans secured saying that Thoms could
not live if kept on the road
SO his pardon was sent to him yester-
day. To-day he will be set free. viii he
be grateful to the woman to whom he
owes his freedom?

REVENUE ACT BEING PRINTED
State Officials Think There VIII be No
Trouble in Regard to It,

State Oflici2lS Think There VIII be No
Trouble in Regard to It,
The new Revenue Act was yesterday
given to the printer. 1t will be printed
just as passed by the Legislature-the poll
tax 1929 and the property tax AZ cents.
Though this disturbs the constitutional
equation of taxation-that the poll tax
shall be equal to the tax on $500 worth of
property--it- is believed by the State
Treasurer and Auditor that it does not
materially affect the law, and that it can
easily be adjusted by the Supreme Court
Article V, section /, of the State Con
stitution says that "the General Assem-
bly, shall levy a capitatiOn tax =
which shall be equal to the tax
on property valued at $500 in cash" This
they argue makes the property tax the
standard, and the poll tax must be made
to conform to that. and not vice versa.
This being SO, they think it makes very lit
tie difference what amount the LegiSla-
ture fixes as the poll tax. that the court
can, and must under the Constitution.
declare the poll tax just three times such
an amount as the act levieS ON the 800
worth of property.
On account of Governor Russelfs alb
sence from the city nothing has yet been
done towards having the Supreme Court
pass upon the act. Treasurer Worth
thinks it will soon be settled, but he is
going ahead, he says, and levy taxes any
how in accordance with the above inter
probation of the law.
