in detail as to many of the assessments
made and how these came about He
took up case after case in which valua-
lions had been made which were objected
to. At times the questions were hot and
the replies hot as the views of the ques-
toner and the questioned differed, both
of these in the questions and answers,
showing that they were defending their
respective views The hearing lasted all
day, recess being taken for dinner, and
only Mr. Arthur being heard. The ques-
tions were worded so as to draw out
statements to show that Messrs. Arthur
and Glenn were not qualified as asses
sors, that the Board of Assessors had not
together viewed the property assessed,
required by law, that there had been dis
elimination shown by the Assessors In ia
varing some parties and putting too high
cited and explanations were asked for, III
some cases it being necessary to use the
tax books for evidence.
In answering the questions Mr.. Arthur
held that he had followed all the require
ments of the law as he understood the
act relating to assessments; that he list
ed property from an actual inspection on
the best information obtainable that
while acting as lsttaker and secretary
he could not accompany the othr members
of the Board but that when they dis
agreed he viewed the property and gave
Judgment, that he had personally inspect
ed between one-fourth and onc>half of
the property assessed; that in sales since
the assessment only two pieces of prop
L I'll Al =,
and there were reasons for this; that he
had favored no one but had made equit-
able assessments that when he found he
had made mistakes he made cor
rections where possible, that 1t
was impossible to apply a uniform rule
in fixing valuations, as location, condition
and rents varied. that increases had been
made where it was deemed right; that in
some cases he had found property never
listed before.
Mr.. Busbee in his questions cited cases
in which he claimed discrimination, and
Mr.. Arthur, in his answers cited ques-
tons in which he claimed there was none
and explained those cited by Mr.. Busbee.
At times both questions and answers were
really arguments on either side of the
question being considered.
Late in the afternoon Mr.. Arthur was
examined by Mr.. Calling for the defend
ants in the case and in this examination
Mr.. Calling sought to bring out points
which would be of value to the county
in the injunction case.
The taking of dispositions will be con-
tinued this morning when the other
parties will be examined. In looking after
the interests of the county in the injunc

A BEAUTIFUL SINNER
Marie Johnson is Arrested
for Grand Larceny.
She 'Doc'ored" the BockS---Said 10 Have
Plunged Into Wall Street and Lost
Heavily There.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York Get 2-Marie Layton john
son, aged twenty-nine years, the wife OF
Albert NJ Johnson, dentist of Larch-
mont, N. Y, with an office in this city,
was arrested tonight on warrant specifi-
cally charging her with the grand larceny
of 81 900. The total amount of her defal-
cations, however, may, it is said, amount
to $4,000.
The compliments are officers of the
United States Playing Card Company,
with home offices in Cincinnati, and a
branch here.
Mrs. johnson, whose maiden name was
Marie Layton, was book-keeper in the
New York office, and in addition, acted as
private secretary to Manager r. H. Nc
Cutcheon. She was married to DR.. John
son in 1901, but did not leave her position
after the marriage. In April of this year
discrepancies are said to have been dis
covered in her accounts, according to the
statement given out by Inspector McClus-
key and an examination is said to have
revealed shortage of $4,000.
The woman's modus operandi is said to
have. been as follows:
The accounts of the concern were kept
in the Hanover National Bank, there be-
ing a New York and Cincinnati account
there Cincinnati would send a bill of
goods to New York which would be sd
for SO 900 and that amount would be
placed to the credit of the Cincinnati ac
count.
But, it is alleged, Mrs. Johnson would
charge the New York office account with
$4,000, taking the difference herself To
make the account balance she would then
raise small bill of goods shipped from
Cincinnati from, say 50 to $4,000.
Mrs. Johnson was discharged from the
employ of the company in April. Further
investigation was made into both the New
York and Cincinnati accounts with the re-
suit, it is said that the defalcations now
amount to $4,000. with a possibility that
they may reach $4,000.
Mrs. Johnson is a tall, slim, pretty wo-
man, with fair complexion and brown hair.
Detectives went to Larchmont Thurs
day night to arrest her, but found the
Johnson home locked up and from neigh
bors it was learned that all the furniture
had been packed apparently ready for re-
moval. The detectives then watched DR..
Johnsons office on Fifth Avenue, and
arrested Mrs. Johnson as she was leaving
the place in her husbands company.
1t is said that Mrs. Johnson speculated
in Wall Street and lost considerable mon
ey there.

text of the letter written by Thomas Set
tie, recommending the appointment of
Mrs. Ship as postmaster at Lincolnton.
1t is as follows:
October /, 1909.
ITO the President, Washington, d, G.
LET me add my endorsement to the
application of Mrs. Shpp for appointment
as postmistress at Lincolnton, North Car
DINA. l have known Mrs. Ship nearly
all of her life. She is a woman not only
of ability, but of decided talent. she
comes from family that has long de-
servedly occupied position of influence
in this State.
Il knew her husband intimately for a
number of years, and l do not recall a
finer character than his. He was loyal,
brave and true in every relation of life
that l had occasion to observe him. AS
you know he met death in the Spanish
war His widow and children are not
destitute, but his widow needs this APP
pointment.
Il do not believe in making a case of
this kind depend on absolute craftsmanship.
l do not know that Lieutenant Ship ever
cast a ballot in his life. as his duties
with the army in all probability kept hin.
away from the State but / know that he
always claimed North Carolina as lis
home. do not know that he, affiliated
actively with any political party, but l
do know from repeated conversation with
him that he was broad, LIBERAL man, and
my personal opinion is that if he voted
at all he voted the Republican ticket 1
state this to break the force of any argu-
ment which might be made to fill this
position on strict party lines. Lieutenant
Ships father was for years one of our
circuit judges. and was a leading Demo
crat, but never an intense partisan.
