The most solemn celebration OF all
is that at the Holy Sepulchre in Jeru-
salem, while the grandest is at Rome
when the city Is filled with church
dignitaries and visitors.
At Jerusalem the pilgrims ascend
the Via Dolorosa. They come from
every quarter of the globe chanting
prayers, and taking part in the foot
washing ceremony. The throng kneels
IN the vast rotunda OF the church,
many remaining In their places from

things in its efforts to arouse a prop

lightheartedness among the dull and

ANOTHER ARREST
IN ASSAULT CASE
Married Man Held in Williams

e . u
Williamsburg, Va, August 10
John Cloves, a married man. about
thirty years OF age, son OF Texas
Cloves, was arrested this afternoon on
a warrant sworn out by Charles L
Carey, charging him with attempting 10
make criminal assault upon Mrs
Carey late Saturday night. BY his
attorney, Frank Armistead, the &C
cused waived a preliminary hearing
this afternoon before Mayor II. w.
Warburton, and was sent on to the
grand jury. Application was made for
ball, but in the absence Of any testt-
mony the Mayor refused to grant It.
Cloves was the young man arrest
ed yesterday at the same time Cabel
Pierce was arrested on the charge Of
attempting to assault Mrs. Carey. and
who was dismissed for lack OF evi
dence against him. The Common
wealth's Attorney has new witnesses
whose evidence Is favorable to Pierce
and against Cloves. Pierce is still in
Jail, and his attorney. Louis Wenden-
burg, of Richmond, decided to allow
his clients case to be heard before q
special grand jury tomorrow, believ-
ing no case will be made out against
him.
According to the statement OF the
new witnesses, it was not Pierce who
followed Mrs. Carey Saturday night
from the Idaho Theatre and attacked
her on the principal street Of the
town within o stones throw Of where
her husband and other men were in q
cafe. In the preliminary hearing yes.
terday the two men stood accused OF
having attempted the crime. The evi.
dence was strong against Pierce and
weak against Cloves, whereupon the
Justice dismissed the latter ana held
the former for the grand Jury.
1t appears now that the stronges,
witness against Pierce was In Gro,
when he said he saw5the accused cross
the street where Mrs. Carey wa:
