cher heing charged with clipping
with the 10 year old girl. Look

ison avenue hotel and pinched
not only the South Carolina prea-
cher and the girl. for whom they

different pair. Padgelt and Miss
Stocton are in custody and Rev.
j. III. Newton and Miss Tessie
Moore, likewise 10 years of age,
are the two for whom the cops
are still looking.
Padgett is quite well known
m this section of North Carolina.
especially in Shelby because of
a sensational charge of Islander
lodged against him by Miss Stoe-
ton 5 father at Kings Mountain.
where he was holding meeting.
Mr.. Stocton, respected citizen
of that place charged that Pad
gett wrecked his home while he
was boarding there and SANDER
cd him. Criminal action was in
stituted in the Cleveland county
courts, but the case was of such
a bad nature that the lawyers
advised compromise.
Now it appears that the Stoc-
ton girl has joined the holiness
preacher in Atlanta and they
We're found in adjoining rooms
IN hotel. A peculiar circum-
stance of the ease is that Padgett
says he knows both Rev. j. II.
Newton and the Moore girl. He
takes his arrest calmly and says
that he could stand his part of it
all right if it did not put the
young lady in such am embarrass-
ing and likely-to-bemisunderstood
attitude. He says he was on the
way to Greensboro, Ga, to assist
one of the pastors in holding a
revival when he stepped off in
Atlanta to look things over. lie
admits that he knows the Stock
