ARREST OF KING
. CREATES PROBLEM
Cannot Be Decided on Which
Charge to Hold Alleged
Burglar
MAY ESCAPE ON TECHNICALITY

The case of James King. who was ar
rested late yesterday afternoon at
Newport by State Detectives Francis
and Rauedge on a charge OF entering
the house OF the Rev. w. o. Hurst at
that place and firing a shot at him
early on Saturday morning. IS purz-
cling the authorities. They are at their
wits end as to what charge TO prefer
against the prisoner.
While King denies the charge the
Rev. Mr.. Hurst positively Identifies
him as the man who entered his home
and shot at him.
Window Was Left Open.
Mr. Hurst says that upon retiring on
Friday night he left the window
through which King is alleged to have
entered, open for ventilation. During
the night and when feeling warm he
arose and raised the window further.
II being dark he could not see just how
far he raised IL.
This morning. however he Thought
the intruder must have raised the
window some IN order to gain an en-
trance.
The courts have decided time and
dime again that In order to burglarize
or break and enter. an entrance must
be made by moving locks or fastenings
or by breaking into a place.
From the evidence In the present case
neither crime was committed. as the
window through which he Is alleged to
have gained an entrance was open and
Mr.. Hurst Is not positive just how far
d. was open.
The Vexed Question.
District Attorney Robert II. Richards
says that II Il can be proved that the
burglar raised the window In order to
get his body through he could be held
for court but this must be proved and
as the Rev. Mr.. Hurst Is not positive
as TO just how far he did raise the WIN
dow, this point win be hard to prove.
A charge of trespass or disorderly
conduct might be pressed with some
hope OF conviction against King. but
on any other charge the outcome would
be doubtful.
King will be arraigned before Mag
iatrate Hollis at $50 o'clock this az
ternoon on charge OF unlawfully
breaking and entering and II he has an
attorney there q possibility OF him
being dismissed on this charge.

AIIeeIs Authorities Prevailed.

The fact that Senator Alice had Sc
cured the opinion OF the leading con-
stitutional lawyers in the United States
Senate as to- the time for the Della
ware Legislature to begin voting for
Senator had great effect on a majority
Of the legislators, irrespective Of party.
Senator Spooner and other leading
statesmen declared that the balloting
should not begin until the second
Tuesday after the organization of the
biennial session and this view finally
prevailed.
Each faction of the Republicans ex-
pected that the Democrats would sub
nit an offer. after their conference
looking to the breaking of the deadlock
but none was forthcoming, The tie
up therefore is as complete as ever and
there is no indication when it will end

Committees on Inauguration.

Immediately after the re-assembling
Of each House this morning, and after
the chaplains had offered prayer. reso-
lutions were introduced simultaneously
providing for the appointment Of
separate committees to arrange for the
Inauguration OF Governor elect Pres
ton Lea on next Tuesday. They were
both carried. Lieutenant-G
Cannon appointed Senators Pennewill,
Monaghan and Mendinhall, while Tenn
porary Speaker Baggs. in the House,
named Representatives Armstrong,
Smith, Denney, Prettyman and Lyons.
The committees met Jointly in the
State House parlor during the recess
and elected Senator Pennewil as
chairman.
They then proceeded to make the ar
arrangements for the Inauguration which
will include the calling out of the
State militia to take part in the parade
here on tnat day. This move demon
strates that the deadlock will have no
effect on the carrying out Of the in
lauguration ceremonies in every de-
tail.
During the morning Senator Alice

/ half of the Unions, held frequent con-
ferences with Senator Sparks and the
