ROANOKE: VA, September S-Paul
Wallace is a free man, and how Misses

June Sth is as deep a mystery as ever,
and will probably remain SO.
When the hour for holding the Botetourt
County Court arrived this morning there
was every evidence that the case would
drop through There We're conferences be-
tween Commonwealth's Attorney Allen,
Detective Baldwin and Judge Brecken-
ridge, and the Commonwealth's Attorney
and the Detective are thoroughly convinced
that the women were attacked, and it was
not an accident, but a conviction of Wal
lace could not be secured. There was
plenty of evidence that put Wallace at the
place within a few minutes of the occur
renee, but no evidence that an assault had
been committed or that Wallace was
guilty.
The testimony of witnesses before the
grand jury had been weakened, and the
Commonwealth's Attorney arose and stated
TO the jury that he was of the opinion that
they could not do otherwise than bring IN
a verdict of not guilty.
1t was decided, however, that it would
be better for Wallace TO get out of Bote-
tourt. and Detective Baldwin was requested
to bring him to Roanoke.
