SUPERINTENDENT !
GOES WRONG.
SCHOOL OFFICIAL IN MCDOWELL
COUNTY RUNS FROM
SHERIFF.

CHARLESTON, April 1S.-Tipped
of by his friends that his arrest would
likely occur at any moment, County
superintendent of Schools W. A. Lee,
of Mcdowell county, left the school
room at welch Friday morning,
where an examination was being held,
and is now a fugitive, eyading arrest
by Sheriff Sprinkle, who had gone to
the school room to serve a warrant on
Lee charging him with receiving
money under false pretenses and act.
ing as an agent for school furniture
and receiving commissions.
Charges have been fled in the de
partment Of free schools at Charles
ton for some time avesring that Lee
had acted Improperly and had VIC.
lated the law. An investigation was
made by supt. shawkey. who was in
Mcdowell county this week, and the
prosecuting attorney of Mcdowell
heard the reports and evidence of.
tered against the county superintend:
ent.
A warrant for the arrest of Lee
was sworn out by the prosecutor and
given to Sheriff Sprinkle to execute.
The sheriff went to the school room
at welch where an examination was
in progress, but the county superln.
tendent was gone. 1t is believed he
had been tipped of by friends and
the late reports from Mcdowell are
to the effect that he had made good
his escape.
Lee had been the county superin-
tendent Of Mcdowell county for three
years. He went to Mcdowell from
Jackson county a few months before
his election in MCDOWELL. It is al.
legged that he had been acting as an
agent for school furniture and had
been literally compensated in com.
missions. He had also received
money from different sources to buy
furniture for his Office.
