ed to be $4,000

A warrant will be issued for tina
ing cashier Of the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Company, who disap-
peared after writing a. note to his
wife saying he intended committing
suicide, and the police search for the
fugitive will become country wide a.
soon as the officials of the company
ascertain the amount Of money he IL
believed to have taken.
This was authoritativeiy announced
on Tuesday and 1t Is believed the
warrant will be issued before Wednes-
day morning as the examination OF
Gregory's books has been almost COM
pleted. At the instigation ~of the
surety company which bondN Greg
Org in the sum OF $50, 900 the railroad
company Will request the warrant and
place II in the hands of the police.
1t Is unotficiaily stated that Greg
DRY Is short about $4,000, but the
railroad officials will neither affirm
nor deny this statement. At noon on
Tuesday one official said there are
no developments and we have not
concluded our examination OF Mr..
the company differ in their opinions
concerning the amount of money
Gregory Is suspected of embezzling-
Some believe the amount has been
over estimated. while others aver 1t
viii exceed $4,000.
Police officials admit they have
been requested to drag the river for
the body OF Gregory. but decline to
make public the name OF the per-
son who made the request. 1t Ia not
probable that the river will be drag
ged until evidence is found that Greg
DRY ended his life In the waters Of
the James and then the search OF the
river bottom Will be made only by
order OF Mayor Richardson.
Mrs. Gregory, the young wife OF
the missing cashier. has left her homo
at 725 North avenue. Brookiand Park.
and IL now under the care OF her
sister law. Mrs. Joseph r. Phillips.
OF 81s North avenue. Brookland
Park. Mrs. Gregory has somewhat
recovered from the shock of her hus-
bands disappearance but IL still suf-
fering from nervous collapse. Reia-
tives of the missing man assert they
have received no word from him
since Saturday night when he tele-
phoned his wife that he would res
turn home in a short time.

HITS MARTIN AND

JONES SPEAKS TO SEVERAL HUN
DRIED ON OPENING DAY OF
NELSON COURT.

LONINGSTON. VA. May 23.-Hon.
William A Jones. candidate for the
Senate IN opposition to Senator Thorn
as s. Martin, at the primary to be
held September 7th, next. addressed a
large crowd OF voters at this place yes
terday. the first day OF the May term of
court. The crowd was unusually large
owing 10 the favorable weather.
The crowd which heard Mr. Jones
vas varfously estimated at from 500 to
700
The speaker WAS introduced by Ma
Jor Waller NJ. Rowe. large fruit
grower and very. prominent citizen of
Nelson county. in few well chosen
remarks.
In the outset. Mr.. Jones declared
that ha had announced his candidacy
only after receiving urgent appeals
from more than 5000 voters living In
various sections OF the State, and that
ne was making the race not merely To
crafty personal ambition. but be-
cause he believes great principles are
involved
Has Msrepresented Him.
The feature of Mr. Jones' address
was the severe scoring he admins
tered to the Nelson County Times. a
local newspaper. published by Mr. w
scott Heath. MIR. Jones criticised the
Ilmes for having recently published an
editorial in which twas stated that
Mr.. Jones had neglected his public
and Official duties by running over
the country speaking in behalf Of his
candidacy. Mr. Jones said he hoped
the Times would correct this mistake
IL its next issue by publishing the
fact that Mr.. Jones has not missed a
single recorded vote during fha Aytr.s
session Of Congress. while Senator
Martin missed four last week. He
characterized the Times as machine
paper, and added that the editorial
which called forth his remarks was
commenting on clipping from the
Norfolk Ledger Dispatch, which pa
per is owned and operated by Alvah
RI. Martin. a staunch Republican,, and
that he waa sorry to see th@.. Nelson
County Times had lined up with a pa
per controlled by national Republican
committeeman.
