CHARITY OUTRAGED

Several clergymen of Wilmington have
| awakened to the fact that a Young oirl
who lives in East Sixth Street has been
swindling them for the past five months,
in which time she has received at least
$25, and much clothing. That she was
profiting by the charity of Christian
people unworthily, was suspected sew
eral months ago, but not until Thursday
were the suspicious of the clergymen
confirmed.
According to the Rev. F. Burgette
Short, pastor of Epworth Church, the
young woman, whom he describes as
being somewhat refined in her manner,
solicited financial help from him several
months ago. Her plea was that the
small wages paid her by local mill
owner were not sufficient for her main
tenance. She was in arrears in her board,
and it was this particular Indebtedness
that Mr.. Short paid
As he was leaving the house Mr.. Short
met the Rev. James Grove, former pas
tor of Asbury Church, at the door, and
subsequently learned from him that the
young woman had obtained money from
Asbury Church on the plea that she was
needy. Thursday the Epworth Church
pastor learned again that not only had
the women of Grace Church supplied the
girl with money, but had bought her
clothing as well.
To all the church people the young
woman represented herself as being a
member of Mr.. Shorts congregation.
This the Epworth Church pastor denies.
She has not been in the church but once,
to Mr.. Shorts knowledge, and that was
on the Sunday following the day he gave
the young woman financial help.
The girl is comparative stranger here,
having come from Middletown about
year ago.-Erening Journal

thompson stated that his side had
no objection to postponement
Judge Hartwel addressed the court
ana SAID that on the day when the
petitioner was sentenced to imprisoa-
I ment, and while waiting in the court
| mouse for the mittimus, he went with
ms counsel to the CHER Justices
| chambers and stated the points or
winch the habeas corpus could be sued
out, namely, the illegality of the Grand
jury, as we'll as the confidential COM
munication from client of the coun-
sci, and urged that a special term of
the supreme Court be orcered in order
lhat the full court might hear and
decide matters of such great import
ance; that the chief justice gave coun-
sci for the petitioner an opportunity
TO present this request to the associate
justices who came into the chief JUS
tees chambers to hear them, and, at
ter some consideration by the chief
justice and his associates, counsel were
informed that the full court would not
Sit In the case, but that the matter
would have to come before the chief
Justice alone.
Mr.. Ballou, of counsel said that the
petitioner was ready to proceed, and
he hoped that the case would be heard
at once
Attorney General Dole said in re-
ply:
II wish to say that under ordinary
circumstances it would be my duty as
Attorney General, to represent the or
der of the lower court in this matter.
Under existing circumstances, how
eyer. feel it my duty to decline to
take part 1t is my idea, and it is only
in justice to the lower court, that both
sides of this case be represented by
men wholly unbiased by recent circum-
biz
that may have been affected by those
events. For that reason / have asked
MI Thompson to represent the order
in this matter, and / may add that in
Mr.. Thompson the order has represen-
tation that should give satisfaction to
all concerned"
Judge HartWell said that he appre-
ciated what the Attorney General had
said, and of course, had nothing to
say against the Attorney General for
having counsel associated with him
whom he thought fit, but that he did
not consider this case of sympathy.
II was question of law of the utmost
Importance, in which no person nor
set of persons in this community
would be considered for one moment.
He therefore regretted that the Attor-
ney General did not intend to appear
and present his views upon the subject
and that he saw no reason why he
should not do so.
Mr.. Dole said he had used the word
sympathy inadvertently, and he had
only to say in conclusion that the
events of the past few days had i'm
pressed him in such way that in the
forum of his conscience ne could find
no excuse for, and no justification or
his appearance in the court
Chief Justice Frear announced that
the case would be continued until
Wednesday morning, as Judge Gal
braith was going to Hilo on Tuesday.
and il was necessary that the judges
of the Supreme Court have opportunity
to conclude some pending discussions
before Judge GalbFaith's departure.
