WELD CRUTCHES
IN "ROUGHH0USE''
Strange Encounter Takes Place
in the Early Hours Yesterday

Peg-legs and crutches played an
important part in a free-for-all at
Mrs. Maggie Cauthorn's boarding
house late Tuesday night, little
Halloween liquor being the only
manifestation of spirits Witches
on broom-sticks were not eligible.
1t seems that two tourists named
Mitchell and Burke, minus leg and
an arm respectively, accompanied
by Dutch" Crowder, who also wears
crutch, retired to the apartments
of the first two along towards mid
night. Matthew Quinn, brick-lay-
er, is boarder at the same estab-
lishment and it was not long until
the whole layout was embroiled in
fracas that disturbed the entire
house. When Frank Kerr, Charles
Johnson, Joe Dooms and Mrs. eau
thorn reached the scene of festivi-
ties, Quinn was being badly beaten
up with wooden-legs and crutches.
Police aid was summoned and yes
terday morning Justice Glasgow did
the rest. Mitchell and Burke were
each given two hours in which to
leave town, Crowder being let off
with reprimand by the court.

NEW FALL COATS

Writing in the Baltimore News
some male person, with the soul of
a turnip, likens the new fall coat to
the bath robe. Says the brute:
1.-THE new coats which fashion has
decreed for women's wear bear a
striking resemblance to another gar
ment intended for more intimate and
clustered use. The streets, in short,
look as though some one had turned
In fire alarm while beauty was in
the bath. If the hats were but de-
signed in the fashion of a porce-
lain tub, the illusion would be COM
plete."
We do not think a great deal of
the News mans taste for style. In
deed, if we may be permitted to say
so while frankly not posing as cri-
tics, it strikes us that the new gar
ment is quite the incest thing mi
lady has donned in several seasons.
More confhentially, the new coat
relieves considerable anxiety on our
part as to just what the next thing
would be. After having seen femin-
unity progress from drop-stitch to
peek-a-boo, then to have held our
hat and our breath as she climbed
from the sheath gown into the harem
and the hobble, we had begun to
tremble while awaiting her appear
ance in something on the order of
a fringe.
Welcome, thrice welcome are the
new smoking-jacket coats that calm
our perturbation.

veteran and his friends,

Ample provision for the old SOL
der was made in 1910, when the
finance committee, of which Mr..
Echols and Mr.. Templeton were
members, authorized an appropria-
ton which was sufficient to take
care of all the veterans who were
at that time on the pension roll.
There has been no meeting OF the
legislature since 1910 and conse-
quently no further appropriation
could be made to meet the steady
increase in the number of pensions
to be paid. With these facts before
us it is not hard to understand why
the old soldier received less in 1911
than he did in 1910. This addition
al appropriation that is needed will
be made just as soon as the next
legislature meets.
We might add for the benefit of
the Independents, who are profess
ing such solicltude for the old SOL
diers, that the sergeant-at-arms Of
both the Senate and the House are
old soldiers as are also the first door
keeper of the House and the assis-
tant doorkeeper of the Senate.

In the retirement yesterday of Mr..

and faithful servant. Throughout
the period of his incumbency, Mr..
Crosby, by reason of his knowledge
of county affairs, was called upon
to furnish assistance to hundreds
of people and his services were al
ways rendered in willing, cheer
full and efficient manner. Few men
in the county have built up a larger
acquaintance and few have more real
friends. This paper joins with the
people in expressing regret at Mr..
Crosby's retirement from public SER
vice and in wishing for him a full
measure of success in the new field.

tie for Head of Defunct Safe
Trust and Deposit Company

Alexandria, Va, Oct. 31.-With
the date for hearing of arguments,
as to the place of confinement of
c. Jones Rixey, less than a month
away, there is every indication of a
determined legal fight on the part
of his attorneys, opposing every
movement toward having him placed
in the South Asylum for Criminal In
sane at Marion, Va.
When Rixey appeared in the Cor
poration Court here to answer nine
indictments returned against him by
a special grand jury in connection
with the collapse of the Virginia Safe
Deposit and Trust Corporation last
December, his attorneys presented
that he was in no fl mental condition
to stand trial.
Judge Louis G.. Barley forthwith
appointed a lunacy commission con-
sisting of DR.. ]. S. De Jarnette, SUI
perintendent of the Western State
Hospital at Staunton, and DR.. W.
F. brewery, superintendent of the
Central State Hospital at Petersburg,
both noted alienists. After a three
hour examination, Rixey was adjudg-
ed insane.
Commonwealth Attorney Samuel
G. Brent at once moved that the
court order Rixey removed to the
Asylum for the Criminal Insane at
Marion, when it should have been
completed, in the meantime, permit
ting him to be confined at the hospit-
al at Staunton. Judge Barley did
not concur in this motion, setting
November 20 at the date upon which
arguments on the matter should be
made.
Mr.. Brent recently stated that he
felt that no consideration should be
extended to Rixey in the matter of
the place of his confinement, in view
of the fact that the law specifically
states that in event one under indict-
ment for crime, shall be found to
be insane, that he shall be removed
to the State Institution designated
for the confinement of such persons.

Dunbar represents Richeson.
Clerk Ingall, taking paper from
his desk, said to Court Officer John
Mitchell:
Bring up Clarence Richeson."
The court room was damned and
there was a buzz of excitement al
Richeson walked in.
He was conducted to the railing
at the side of the judges bench. The
clergyman grasped the railing and
swept the audience with his black
eyes.
A sort of bewildered look came
over his face when he apparently
failed to see some face for which he
was seeking. His paleness was &C.
centuated by his suit of black, with
which he wore a white tie. Again
today, as he faced the bar, his iron
nerve was evident. There was no
cringing. in his attitude and he look
ed like man who would fight to
the death.
Ingall held out the warrant and
spoke to the preacher. He said:
your case is continued until No
vember 7th. You are held without
BAIL"
The clergyman made no response
and soon afterwards was taken back
to his cell in the Charles Street Jail.
This His Appointed Wedding Day.
This was to have been Richeson's
wedding day. He was to have mar
