EMORY SCOTTEN OF DOVER ARRESTED
Brought up on Charge of Violating New Law
In Removing Goods Under Execution.

A warrant was served Saturday on
Emory Scotten, well-known Dover
citizen, in II proceeding under the law
making it prison offense for any per-
son to secrete or carry off goods held
under process of execution. At pub
lie sale some time ago, Mr.. Scotten
purchased a number of farm imple-
ments from John 7. Daley. To-day
it turned up that Mrs. Fluharty had
an execution on the goods, which pro-
cess had been standing for some time.
Mr.. Scotten, being an innOc ant third
party, put up stout defense, with r.
H. VanDyke as his counsel.
The law allows no lee-way in such
matters, but says, eff any person, :"
etc., and even an innocent party stands
in jeopardy of the one year sentence to
prison it prescribes. Mr.. Scotten was
dismissed, however, the State having
failed to show that the specific goods
which he had purchased were the goods
covered by the execution.
