SWEATING PROCESS
CAUSED NEGRO BOY TO CONFESS
TO CRIME HE WAS NOT
SUSPECTED OF.
Broke Into the New Friedman a
Keller Building About Two
Weeks Ago.

Bonnie Blakely. a 15-year-old col
ored boy. was arrested on suspicion
yesterday. and his case affords a good
example of what the sweating pro
cess" sometimes accomplishes.
officer Cross yesterday found the
back doors of the old Friedman y
Keller building open. There is a lot
of paint, rubbish and such things in
the vacant building. and the officer
thought perhaps some of it had been
stolen.
He and Detective r. ]. Moore,
while on the wharfboat a shors time
afterwards. began teasing an Italian
boy named George Manghelli, about
10 years old, and in pretending they
were going to search him, found in
his pocket a silver deoanter cap with
Hal Walters" engraved on it. Mr.
Walters is an employe of Friedman &
Keiler's, and the officers thought
perhaps the decanter cap had been
inadvertently left in the old building
and stolen, and arrested the boy oil
suspicion. He told a straight story,
claiming to nave given a negro boy
named "Bennie," a chew of tobacco
for ii.
Bonnie" was arrested and claim
ed that he found the cap down on
the dump and frequently found
them there. The officers did not be-
lieve him, however. and thought he
broke into the empty Friedman e.
Keller building Saturday night and
found them. Detective Moore and
Officer Cross started the case. and
turned it over to Detective VIII Ba-
ker, when the latter came on duty.
Detective Baker sweated the negro
so hard that the boy finally confess
ed to burglarizing the new Friedman
& Keller building two weeks ago; and
stealing lot of wine. whiskey, ETC..
an offense of which he was not sus-
pected.
The Italian boy was released and
the negro's case was called in police
court today and continued.

About the Primary.
Danyille Va Iun,

Danville. Va, June %. 1915. 8
Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
sir,-Before the plan Of nominating
party candidates becomes gencrali; sat
isfactory In It's operations It must pass
through the developing stages, inr dent TO
the growth OF all things, to useful ma
turity.
In the primary for August ed there are
dozen or more candidates for nomina-
ton. and each could claim the right to
equal Approximation at the polls. This
Is not practicable. but 1t raises question
which must be answered satisfactorily.
another serious problem for solution IS
the assessment of the candidates for the
expenses OF the election.
For a fair disposal OF the first question
/ beg to suggest tina [ the three judges OF
election. to be selected by the county or
city Democratic Committees. be chosen
from the supporters OF the three candl-
dates for Governor, and also, a equally
ms possible. from the friends OF the guper-
Material candidates.. SO that each candi-
date for Governor will have equal repre-,
sentation at each precinct. and each can
8didate for United States senator Will have
either one or two representatives, at
each precinct. This is is equal re presenta-
ton as as Is practicable, and 1t will also
distribute the representation among the
candidates for other Offices.
Second question: The primary method
OF nomination is for the benefit OF the
people, and 1t was adopted because Of
their demand for 1t. Therefore, they
should bear the expense OF It. To some
OF the candidates this expense may be a
small matter. while to other equally as
worthy 1t may be hardship. Now, /
suggest that each County and City Com;
,ilttee attempt to pay all OF the expense
In their respective counties or cities.
through private subscription from tho
friends or supporters OF each candidate.
the fairness of. this will appeal to every
citizen, and a sufficient number will re-
spond,] either to reduce the expenses ma
terialy, or to pay them in full.
