CHARLES WILLIS ON TRIAL.
He Is Charged with Obtaining Good.
Under False Pretencen


Charles S. Willis. about twenty two
years of age, was put on trial yesterday
in Criminal Court No. /. before Justice
Clabaugh, on the charge of obtaining goods
under false pretences. Willis is said TO
have come TO Washington from Jersey
City last December In company with a
boy named James E. Walton. and to-
gether, by alleged false representations
they obtained goods from several local
merchants. Among those who are said to
have suffered at the hands of Willis and
Walton are Messrs. Woodward & Lothrop.
Saks & Co, Goldsmith, and Lutz Wal
ton is apparently not more than sixteen
years OF age. and according to his state
men:s yesterday on the witness stand he
was used as a tool by Willis to carry out
the schemes of the latter. Willis plan of
operation was to learn the name of one
or more responsible persons who dealt with
the merchant from whom he intended to
procure goods, and then representing
either in person or by order that certain
goods had been bought would in this way
get possession of them. Ii is said Willis
had the goods secured in this way sent
to some house unoccupied and that either
he ser Walton would be on hand to meet
the messenger and receive the articles in
front Of the house 10 which they were or
dered.
The losses of the merchants were re-
ported at Detective Headquarters about
December 30 last and Detectives Herndon
and Lacy were detailed TO run down the
sbarpers. In about a month after tho
matter was reported Willis was appre-
hended near the corner OF Four and "a half
Street and Pennsylvania Avenue north
west. Walton was arrested in Chicago in
March last. The trial was not concluded
yesterday and will be resumed this morn

The breach which has existed between
the local Knights of Labor and the general
officers of the organization for nearly two
years has been bridged over and the diff
ferences amicably settled. The announce
ment of this was made at a meeting OF
District Assembly No. &C. knights of La
Dor held last night, in a letter received
| from John \. Parsons. General Master
Workman of the order, in which he stated
that the assembly, at a meeting of the
general executive board, had been rein
stated in full membership and good stand
ing. This action was decided upon at a
meeting of the board few days ago.
Although the relations between the local
assembly and the general officers of the
order had not been friendly for some time,
no hostile move was made until July, 1898.
when. at a meeting of the general execu-
tive board, the charter of District Assem-
bly, SO was revoked for alleged violation of
the rules of the order. The local body
then instituted proceedings in equity in
the Supreme Court of the District asking
that the general officers be restrained
from carrying this order into execution.
The matter was n cause of litigation be-
fore the courts for a year or longer and
on final hearing Justice Barnard decided
that the executive board had authority,
under the circumstances shown to the
coure, to rescind the charter of the local
body. The District Assembly. however,
noted an appeal from the decision of the
court.
Since then there has been a reorganiza-
ton of the general executive board of the
knights of Labor, and the trouble be-
tween the local organization and the gem
eral officers has been carefully considered
1t was reported that there were great
many circumstances connected with the
action of the District Assembly. which
caused the revocation Of its charter. which
could not be submitted as evidence before
the court in the legal proceedings, but
which tended to justify the course 1t had
pursued. During the meetings of the gen
eral executive board in this city the case
has been thoroughly Investigated, with the
result stated. 1t was generally known
among the members of the order in Wash
ington that the board had taken favorable
action in the case of District Assembly No
Sc, and as a result every affiliated local
was represented with a full quota of dele
gates at the meeting last night.
The master workman of the District
Assembly stated after the meeting that
although the organization lad been la
boring under gree: disadvantages during
the last eighteen months or two years, IL
has steadily increased in membership and
Is now in far better condition than when
the trouble commenced.

she married Henry Watkins. ian elegant
and accomplished gentleman" Of twenty
three. for whom she afterward bore seven
children.
Mrs. Watkins was full of spirit. as story
told by one Of her grandsons, T. B. Wat
kins. Of Lexington, proves. He says that
the day after the burial OF the Rev: John
Clay, the British Colonel Tarleton made
raid into Virginia, and his men devas-
tated. her place. Mrs. Clay reprimanded
Tarleton SO severely that he emptied a
sack Of coin on table and told her to
take that for her losses. As soon as Tarle-
ton left Mrs. Clay scraped the money off
into her apron and threw it into the fire,
saying that here hands should not be pol
lu:ed with British gold" She seems to
have been an able woman. much rever-
enced by those who knew her well. and

Gus Will.
About the year 1915 the Watkinses gave
up their tavern in Versailles and settled
upon farm which they owned three
