NIFE MURDERER MAY
BE FREE FOREVER
II Eugene PEBBLES Is Caught Outside
State There is no Law to
Bring Him Back.

NORFOLK. VA, Jan. 25.-Unless
Eugene PEBBLES. the Norfolk vile
murderer who escaped from the VII
liamsburg insane asylum Friday night
is caught in Virginia, he is at liberty
forever so far as the Jaw is effective
for his confinement in Virginia, unless
he should return to this state. There
is no law which permits extradition
from one state to another for insanity.
Peebles was acquitted Of murder
when the trial jury found him TO
have been insane on the day that he
killed his wife in Norfolk last May
The Jury also found him to be insane
at the time of his trial and upon this
finding Judge Hanckel ordered him
committed 10 the Eastern State Hos
Dital at Williamsburg, from which H.
stitution the man escaped, after pick
ing his way through two supposedly
secure locks while all guards were on
duty.
A weil-knOwn citizen of this state
while confined in New York asy-
lum escaped and came TO Virginia.
There was no law under which ne
could be extradited and carried back
to New York. and he is today living
as a citizen of this state. When ne
applied 70 the federal court for I'M
munity from arrest when he went
back to New York to testify in civil
euif there in which ne was interested
This was denied him.

At a mass meeting of the fisher
men, crabbers and members OF the
Hampton and Phoebus Merchants
Association In the court house last
night plans were formulated for OPP
posing the Lesner fish and crab Dill,
which has been offered ir the stale
senate by Senator Lesner, OF Nor-
folk.
According to the general opinion OF
those attending the meeting last
night the measure is designed for
the purpose OF helping Norfolk men
who own large fishing properties In
Accomac and Northampton counties.
as these two eastern shore counties
are exempted from the penalties I'M
posed upon the other counties by the
new act. The local fishermen de-
clared that the Lesnes bill Is vicious
IN several particulars, while the crab
bling interests think that the new law
would spell ruin for them.
President Hunter r. Booker, OF the
Merchants Association, was made
chairman CT the meeting. with Mr.. }.
{. S. Cooke as secretary.
After considerable discussion OF
the measure, the decision was reached
10 let the crabbers name commit
tee, which will act in conjunction
with a committee from the fisher
men and another committee from the
Merchants Association. These COM
mitteemen will go TO Richmond to
oppose the bill and will fight the
measure before the senate committee.

The portions of the bill, which are
Objectionable to the fishermen and
crabbers, will be pointed ou- to the

will be asked to kill the measure in
it's present form. The fishermen say
they are not opposed to just legisia-
ton, but they cannot see why Ac-
comac and Northampton counties
should be eliminated from a bill,
which it is claimed is designed TO
ruin the fishing business in other
Tidewater counties. Crabbers make
the same objection. They claim that

CORPSE SUSPENDS IN
AIR ON CR0SSARM
While at Work at the Top Of Pole
the Gentleman Becomes Entansled
in Wires Causing Short Circuit
Through His Body-6urisI to be
Held at Lynchburg

Walter Lndwell Moore. lIneman
employed by the Newport News &
Old Point Railway & Electric Com
pany, met instant death by being eiec-
trocuted at the corner of Washington
street and Mallory avenue yesterday
afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Mr.. Moore, with Mr.. William Brick-
ell, another lineman, was at work re-
pairing wires and making additional
connections. when Mr.. Moore became
entangled in the wires and received
q charge of electricity Of probably
900 voltage. His right arm came IN
contact with one wire and his left nip
another. thereby forming short CIR
cult and causing almost instant
death.
Suspended in Air.
After receiving the shock the dead
man fell forward over the wire-arm
supports and was suspended in the
air in this way until his body was
brought to the ground by Mr.. Brick
ell. Before Mr. Brickell attempted 10
remove the dead man from the top
of the pole he had the current cut
of by telephoning to the main once
of the company. 1t is probable that
the belt worn by the dead man saved
him from falling TO the ground.
Mr.. Moore, who returned to Hamp-
ton three weeks ago to resume MS
duaies as lineman, worked for the
street railway company about four
years ago. He resigned and accepted
!; position under Mr.. H. II. Carr, OF
Raleigh, n. c., and last Christmas ne
decided to quit Raleigh and come back
10 Hampton. He was an expert in his
line and was considered very capa-
Bile lineman.
Family Jus. Returned.
Mrs. Moore and their little daugh-
ter reached Hampton last week from
Los Angeles. California, where they
had been spending the winter and the
family had located in Chapel street
Mr.. Moore seemed happy to have his
family hack with him and his death
under these circumstances is pecu-
liarly sad.
Mr.. Moore was 81 years CID Be-
sides being an expert lineman, ne
was also brick mason and held a
card in the Newport News Bricklay-
,rs' Union.
He originally cani5 mere from
Lynchburg. Mrs. Moore was Miss
Evans before her marriage and she
is also a former resident of Lynch
burg.
