tective Chase talked with the girl and
she admitted that she was not Lakes sis
ter.

later, when Lake was arrested in KEN

Buy at Low Figure.

1t is a fact we'll known to officers and
to everybody else who have dealings with
thieves that pawnbrokers, when they are
satisfied that they are paying for stolen
article, will beat down" the person who
is offering it for sale to a ridiculously
low figure The thief is practically at
his mercy.
In this instance the pawnbroker bought
the stolen goods at a figure much less
than their value. One of the rings be-
longing TO Mrs. Ward was a large soli-
taire, and the other contained five dia-
monds The pawnbroker bought them
for SIS. and policemen who are familiar
with the facts agree that when when he
paid such a price the buyer must have
known that they were stolen.
Lawyers are a unit in declaring that
the police have no right to make the
owner of stolen property pay TO get it
back A simple command from the po-
lice. it is agreed, would force any pawn
broker to give up stolen goods and, if
he refused to obey the command, he
would render himself liable to prosecu-

SATURDAY, JUNE %, 1906

The returns from the Primary cleo

William A. Jones was the winner III
the contest and will be his own sue
cessor. The result is,o course, grau-
fying to him and he has the rlght 10
be proud of the support he received at
the hands of the voters of the Flrs'
district at the Primary over his worthy
and honorable opponent. Mr.. Mears
too has the right to be proud OF the
endorsement he received from the
people of Northampton and lower
Accomac and the conclusion cal
easily be reached that the result
might have been different if he hac
been as well known in other parts o
the district as he was at his nome
To those who failed to get thel
choice, however, there is comfort II
the reflection that we have in Mr.
Jones a worthy representative wh'
has served us well in the past AM
whose record justifies the CONCLUSION
that we can count upon and "tie to
him in the future. 1t goes withou
saying, that Mr.. Jones will have tn
support of all the Democrats in tn
district in November. No one wi
give him more loyal support tina
Mr.. Mears or would be found furtht
to the front in the fight for him if
was necessary.
