Frank Kitchens, of Glendale, formerly
of this town, who on Christmas Day il
alleged to have beat his wife unmerci
fully and then made his escape int
Maryland with another woman leaving
his family without any means of sup
port, has at last fallen into the net o
State Detective Walls, who ever since
the affair has been obtaining infOrma
ton as to his whereabouts. Tuesday
night of last week at nine O'Clock, while
in South Salisbury with the "other wO
man in the case" the authorities hav
ing been notified by telephone by the
officer to be on the lookout for him
went down the railroad track and made
the arrest, taking him to the WicOmicC
county Jail for the night. Sheriff Smith
of Salisbury, had been warned about
Kitchens being a desperate character
and when he started to look for Hitch
ems he had with him his deputy and Pa
/ trOlman Crouch. Walking up to Hitch
ems in manner that would not arouse
suspicion, Sheriff Smith when within a
few feet of him leveled his pistol and
made him throw up his hands. Patrol
man Crouch placed the handouts on the
fugitive and took him up into the city,
after being given preliminary hear
ing. When searched, Kitchens pOck-
cts were found to contain pistol, pair
of lead knuckles and a keen twO-bladed
knife. He was evidently prepared for
any difficulty that might arise. The
''Other woman" got out of the way, and
has not been seen or heard of since.
Wednesday night Kitchens was brought
here and placed in Jail until last Thurs
day morning when he was given hear
ing before Justice-O the Peace William
A. Warrington, who committed him to
Jail in default of $500 bail. Kitchens
it will be remembered was on parole for
two years, having entered on his own
recognizance after being convicted for
assault and battery on Constable and
Town Officer Gilbert Morgan, at the
summer term of court last year. When
the wife-beating occurred, the officer
came he and turned over the papers he
had to County Deputy Jones, and at the
same time it is said made a protest.
After the authorities here are through
with Kitchens for beating his wife and
breaking his parole, he will be turned
over to the officers of WicOmico county
where he will have to answer a charge
of carrying concealed deadly weapons
in the State of Maryland. The scene !
in Justice Warrington court was a |
pathetic one, as both he and his wife /
'Obbed bitterly while the hearing was go /
ng on. Kitchens claimed if he struck
lis wife he did not know it. 1t was
to by his oldest boy, Ira, that
le was intoxicated at the time.
