suspicious character in pawnshop at

crowd up Vine street, 10 Franklin,
where he took refuge behind some
bricks IN the ruins Of the HenselCol.
laday building. which was burned down
last winter There he held the crowd
ia check by threatening 10 shoot any
one who approached.
A call had been sent in TO the
Fourth and Seventh police districts
and while two patrol loads OF police
men we're on their way, Joseph Link,
a policeman OF the former station
drew his revolver and approached
Virgins.
Virgins called to him TO stop, but
Link never wavered. He continued
straight toward the barricaded man
revolver in hand. When Virgins real
lied that any attempt TO shoot would
bring a bullet from the policeman's
weapon, he again turned and fled.
Link started after him and fired
once, commanding him to stop. Wig
gins turned on the policeman, who
with the help of several other persons,
quickly oyerpowered the youth.
BY the time the two patrols arrived
the presence of the policemen was
needed. The crowd, which numbered
several hundred persons. grew threat
ening and an attempt was made tC
get at the prisoner. Virgins was hus
tied into the patrol wagon and driven
away to the station house, the patrol
followed closely by the crowd, which
still attempted to take him from the
police.
At first the slayer said his name
was Walter Johnson, and that he came
from Harrisburg, but after prolonged
questioning when taken to the city
hall, he gave his correct name and
said that he lived at PIT South Harri
son street. Wilmington, Del

went into the pawnshop and attempted
to pawn a piece OF jewelry descrip
ton of which was in the hands of the
pawnbroker as piece that had been
stolen.
The paWnbroker saw the resem
blance and, engaging Virgins in con
versation, telephoned to the police
station and asked them to send a pc
liceman, upr
Bowling was the man selected by
the house sergeant to go to the pawn
shop.
AS soon as he saw the blue uniform
of the policeman Virgins knew he
was trapped. Giving Bowling nc
chance to defend himself, he drew al
automatic pistol and fired at the pc
liceman.
The first shot took effect, the bullet
tearing it's way through the fleshy part
of the arm. and then penetrating his
body just above the heart MortallS
wounded, Bowling fell bleeding to the
floor.
Threatening the pawnbroker with
his pistol Virgins backed to the door
and broke into run.
/ The sound of the shot had been
heard by pedestrians, and the chase
was taken up in a moment. Policemen
came in response to the cries of muir
der ,and Virgins was soon caught.

THE STATE WAS 40
YEARS OLD YESTERDAY
The War-6orn State Reaches Another
Milestone---A Brief History Of
Its Formation

Just 40 years ago Thursday .he
State OF West Virginia, rought and
mountainous. with people hcspitable
and brave, was born and men with
those sterling qualities, tacr and tai
ent were placed in command of the
baby to guide its footsteps along the
right paths to fame and renown. How
well they performed the duties push
ed upon them has been seen. Today
the state, although small, has a pow
er that can be felt in every gathering
"a people that are locked up TO aid
people that must ever be among hose
in the front.
The counties that comprised the ba-
by state were for many years linked
with the mother state, Virginia, until
differences arose between the men OF
eastern and western parts Of the State
IN regard to loyalty to the union, the
body that had been the guide through
out the many years of freedom TO the
country. The people of the western
part of the state remained loyal TO
the father of the country, and, after
careful deliberations, withdrew from
the mother State to uphold and pro-
tect the country as whole.
At that time, as wen as now, the
western part of the State, now known
as West Virginia. was the point on
which all eyes were turned. 1t was
in that part of the State where some
of the first and bloodiest battles were
fought because of the differences. II
was in that part of the State where
some of the brayest men in the coun
try laid down their lives to protect
the families who had not failed to
fight for what they considered to be
the right.
State Seal
When the state was formed, one of
the first things decided upon was to
make seal for the baby that would
signify authority and yet convey TO
the outside world the nature of The
people within the borders of the noun
famous country. The man who devils
ed the seal was peaceloving man
ali COHHtCttu WIFI MN were lldu
workers and the seal which is in use
today was made and accepted. Tnls
seal shows Il huge rock in the center,
denoting the topography of the cou l.
try, with two men, both workingmen,
those whose work is NEEDED so much,
standing nearby. The mountains in
The distance are typical of the State,
and with the anvil, pick and the farm
products the situation was covered
fully. The gun at the feet of the men
denotes peace. but also conveys the
thought that while peace and prosper
ity has and always will be sought, the
gun will ever be close at hand to aid
in enforcing law in the path of right,
If necessary.
The State has grown rapidly in the
40 years and today this seal is known
everywhere. The seal was designed
by j. II. Diss DeBar but was not final
ly accepted until September of the
same year. when it was affixed to all
documents.

CHANCE OF VENUE
 IN GAMING CASES
MANY INDICTMENTS AGAINST BRYAN AND JACOBS TAKEN
 FROM A LOCAL JURY.
Prejudice Alleged to Have Been Aroused Through Publications of
 Raics Basis of the Change.

Change of venue to Montgomery ccnnfy was taken yesterday in the numerous indie ments against Charles Bryan and w. 5 Jacobs, charged with gaming and conducting gaming hctse in this city.
 The indictments were lodged in the circuit court many months ago. and were not tried at the last term of court Some of the gaming cases were compromised after lodgment, and their compromise was the sub 1ect Of much discussion on the stump in the recent campaign in this judi cial district
 The application for the change of venue Tn this case was based on the theory that because of repeated raids and repeated publications of alleged gaming in the houses, there was a prejudice here against Bryan and la- coOs, and that they wonld pot be per mitted as fair and impartial trial as if this sentiment of prejudice did not exist against them.
 The cases will probably be disposed Of at the next termsof court in Mont gomery county, unless there is com promise agreed on previous to their being placed on the docket in that county.
