The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1903-01-30


Charles White. of Gypsy, and Mrs.
Lizzie Smithour, of clarksburg, were
arrested in Fairmont Sunday night
about ten O'Clock by Chief OF Police
John S. Scott, and officer G. S. Pitzer,
ON information furnished by telephone
by the authorities at Gypsy. The
charge is that they were unlawfully
living together at the bachelor quar-
tiers of White, who is miner.
The girl is, she says, but II years
old. She says she Is the wife OF Adam
.Smithour. saloon keeper of Clarks-
burg. She says they were married
i've months ago but that they have
not been living together for i've weeks.
White and che girl were taken TO
the city lookup and White was locked
up in the cage. What to do with the
girl was the next question, and for
awhile 1t was puzzler, but the chief
settled it and had bed made in the
haymow. There the girl, who was ac-
companied by her IA year old brother,
spent the night.
Speaking to . newspaper representa-
tive the next morning, she said:
my brother and we're going to Fet-
terman where e.have a sister and I
dntended to get work there. Mr.. White
said he would come as far as Fairmont
win Us as he was going TO .Pennsyl-
vania to get work. / suppose my hus-
baud caused our arrest. He has been
trying to get me to come back to him,
but would not do it. ;"
The warrants story had a different
ring TO 1t. It. accused White and the
girl OF adultery. It seemed that since
last Friday they have been living to-
geth.r and the neighbors made COM
plants so strong that the warrant was
issued.
A warrant against two prisoners,
bearing the charge of adultery, was
issued Monday by Justice Riley, upon
information Furnished BY one of the
officials ut the Gypsy mines. Monday
morning special officers Spsrry and
Hall went to Fairmont and brought
the two prisoners here for trial. They
were placed in the county Jail.
Tuesdsy morning the case came up
for heas ing before Justice Riley. Sew
eral witnesses were present, but as
no one could actually prove that there
had been any wrong doing on the
part OF either the girl or White, the
case was dropped and the prisoners re-
leased from Jail.
The girl claimed that she was act
ing in the capacity Of housekeeper for
Mr.. White. II was claimed that the
two had lived together in the same
house, but she claimed she could prove
that they had occupied different rooms,
by the l4-ycar-old brother. Other
similar charges regarding the case
could not be proven, and the case was
dropped.
Mrs. Smithour is no. bad looking
girl. Some folks have pronounced
her very pretty. She has black hair
and her dark brown eyes have great
deal OF expression In them when Mr. |
White is around.
Before her marriage she was Miss
Lizzie Robey, the daughter OF promi-
nent citizen Of ,Gentury, small town
on the Grafton and BelIngton railroad.

Mangum, Oklahoma, March %. 1908
To the County Assessor, " County
Oklahoma
Dear Sir: The decision Of the at
torney general upon the assessorship
matter seems TO have left most Of us
without job.
OF course, the decision of the at
ltorney general may, in case Of a test,
be sustained by the courts. However,
on investigation and consultation with
attorneys, l am of the opinion that our
courts would not follow the Dakota
decision cited by the attorney general
in his opinion, as the cases do not
seem to me to be parallel, and the
Dakota decision is not backed up by
any other authorities.
think there is sufficient hope for
us 50 that it. would be to the interests
of the various county assessors Of Ok
lahoma territory 20 make a test case

be willing TO contribute my pro.rata
share to employ counsel so that this
matter can be thoroughly tested
would suggest that we meet in the
capital city Of the territory at once
and that the county assessor Of Logan
county be requested to call this con
venton. and also that each county as
SCISSOR in the territory write to him
asking him to do this without delay
A copy Of this letter has been sent Il

If you endorse my plan, write lettei

WHO WILL BE JUDGE7
Politicians Are Apparently Still
at Sea.

The contest over the appointment Of
a United States district judge is quiet,
pending the arrival of Senator Long
and Senator Burton to discuss the mat
ter. Senator Long is expected to arrive
on the 4:40 Santa Fe train from the
west this afternoon, and Senator Bur-
ton is looked for at most any time.
They may hold a conference between
themselves and attempt to agree upon
a candidate.
Justice Pollock's friends are doing all
they can to line up the Leland element
OF the party for their candidate but
the uncertainty of Senator Longs posi-
ton makes the politicians slow to rnakz
promises And meanwhile a great many
people are talking for Chief Justice
Johnston
The boom for H. N. LOOMS is also
gaining increased momentum. notwith-
standing the fact that Mr.. Loomis has
repeatedly stated that he is not can
didate but is for Charles Blood Smith.
The political atmosphere will doubt
less clear considerably when Senator
Long arrives and his position becomes
known. At present even his most fnti>
mate friends do not seem to know his
ship.
