purported to be paper relinquishing his
right to the legal custody of the child,
although he says he did not know the
contents of the paper when he signed it,
When McCubbin heard rumors of the
alleged ill treatment of the child he went
to the Bestor home. he says, and demand
ed that she be surrendered to him His
demand, he says, was refused, and he
later found her at store and took her
home with him.
While in custody of the officers yester-
day Bestor telephoned his wife that he
would be unable to return home, and ask
ed that she call to see him at the coun-
ty jail today. 1t is probable that the
prisoner will be given a preliminary ex-

SERIOUS CHARGE
Armand D. Bestor Accused of
Assault on TWeIve-Year-
Old Girl.

Armand .. Bestor. who conducts the
business of the Southern Timepiece Com
pany at 1927 ii street northeast was
lodged in Jail at Upper Marlboro, Prince
Georges county. Md. last night to an
swer charge of assault on Lula Cha
ney, twelve-year-old girl. who was iiv-
ing at the Bestor home, about three miles
from Seat Pleasant
The arrest of Bestor was the culmna-
ton of information impaired to the coun-
ty authorities by two negro women who
were picking berries in the woods not far
from the Bestor home a week ago last
Sunday. Following the report made by
the women, Sheriff A. B. Suit heard the
child's statement and swore out a war
rant for Bestor's arrest.
Bestor was arrested yesterday after
noon near his place of business by De-
tectives Cornwell and O'Dea and Sheriff
Suit. He said he had heard of the in
vestigation that had been made, denied
he had harmed the child and said he
wanted to go to Prince Georges county
for trial.

Ohio congressman did not practice
what he breaches and give his ex-
pressions on the tariff and other po-

In his opening remarks the Ohio

There are too many murders in this
country" Mr.. Lentz emphatically
declared, "and believe In making
an example Of men who take the
law into their own hands to avenge so

Closing that subject, Mr. Lentz
turned to the fairness OF the FIVE
