CLARKSBURG, W. Va, June

ed another desperate blackmail-
ing scheme. About wear ago the
Edward Beatty case near Man.
nington, where a wealthy citizen
named Blackshire was the intend

the crime but latter acquitted in
federal court attracted wide at
tentiOn. In that case the intended
victim was notified bv letter to
ride along the public highway and
at a late hour at night drop pack
ages of money amounting to $2,-
500 at a certain spot.
The present case is very similar
to that one in almost every detail.
The first had typewriter letter

The word to ride down the road
is also in this case as well as the
instruction to drop BAG of money
at a certain point.
The cases are so similar that
it may be that the perpetrator OF

Mayor Kirkland was angered at
an editorial in the Review of Sat-

tions that Mary Statler, at whose
home a murder was committed
on June 10th, was the proprie-
tress of a house of i'll fame, and
accordingly swore out a warrant
charging her with that offense,
and summoning as witnesses to
substantiate the charges Chief of
Police Williams and the proprie-
tor and city editor Of the Review.
The proprietor and city editor
had no evidence bearing on this
charge except hearsay and com
mon rumor. The Chief of Police
in his testimony, did not seem to
think that the defendant had ever
kept such a house in Sistersville.
He stated that she resided there
and merely rented rooms. "
Mary Statler also testified she had
never kept such a house, but ad-
mitted that she had been convic-

intended that any discriminating
evidence against the accused
should be introduced and she was
