caused the arrest OF Colbert had been re-
turned and the property all retransferred.
so that it is now in the uncontested pos
session OF the owner. NJ. r. FLETCHER. OF
Woodvilla N. G. Therefore Shaffer Will
not make any charges against Colbert,
and the case will be dismissed or Friday.
Skaters statement is to the following
effect: NJ. r. Fletcher. Of Woodville. N.
c.. wished to sell his farm. cotton gin and
other appurtenances. to moveeto Norfolk
Its value is about s., 700 Shaffer got
power OF attorney. but when he did not
succeed in selling the property. turned it
over to Colbert by deed without considers
ton with the understanding that Colbert
would sell It.

deed to Fletcher and Colbert can be re-
leased from custody.
Speaking further CT the case. Shaffer
says the statement that Colber. made
OF having paid Shaffea"s board and loaned
him money to the extent OF $500 Is false.
He declares that he doesn't owe Colbert
a cent for board or anything else: that
the deed was given to him (Colbert) for
purposes OF sale. not for debt
Shaffer says he will withdraw the
charges against Colbert simply because
the property Is returned at no cost to

attorney. Is not studying to practice law,
but was simply a runner for a firm Of
lawyers here.
Shaffer lived here about two years as

MOORE CAUGHT IN BALTIMORE
fsnecial Dispatch to The Times

Especial Dispatch to The Times)
NEWPORT NEWS. VA, July 22.-In
the Corporation Court this morning, Mr..
Logan T. Davis was fined IS and costs,
after a trial lasting several days. This
Is the anti-clinlatic end of what promised
to be a notable case. Mr.. Davis is a
prominent man. About two months ago,
ne was involved in a quarrel with Mr..
john r. Parker, another prominent citi-
zen. Parker, who was intoxicated was
the agSressor. Davis knocked him with
his fist once, then broke the small end
of billiard cue over his head. There
was a scramble FOR the big end of the
cue and Davis got it. striking Parker
on the head and crushing his skull. Two
inches of bone had to be removed from
the skull, and for awhile it was thought
that Parker would die. Davis was ar
rested and released on bail of $1,000. Trial
was postponed pending developments
When it was evident that Parker would
recover, the case was taken up with
the result noted. Parker will probably
suffer from the effects of the blow as
long as he lives.
MOORE ARRESTED.
Chief Of Police Johnson left tonight
for Baltimore, for Fred Moore. the New
port News merchant who skipped out
Saturday. after having borrowed all the
money he could get his hands on, leaving
his former partner to pay note, and
ais bride of two months to mourn his
absence.
Moore was arrested in Baltimore to-
day. The only warrant against him Is
one sworn out to-day by his former
partner, W. NJ. Parker. charging forgery.
It is probable that other warrants
charging him with obtaining money I'M
der false pretences will be sworn out.
SIMILAR CASE.
Moore's case almost parallels that OF
the noted Professor Hubert John Fraw-
lev. now doing time in the penitentiary,
in Richmond.
Frawley came here to take professor
ship in the Newport News Military Acad-
envy. Moore was elected professor OF
Greek and mathematics in the same IN
stitution, but did not accept the posi-
ton, Both are men Of unusual intellec-
tuaI attachments, and both were pronli-
nent in church work. Frawley in the

P. U. -Frawley kept his giant intellect
on dress parade all the time; Moore eX-
plotted his specification.
Both men left brides Ind to mour:
their departure. Both men did" their
friends and suddenly departed.
It remains but to bring Moore back
and convict him to complete the parallel.
except that there is probably no posi-
bility of Moore developing into biga-
mist, wherein Frawley went him one bet
ter.
