WM. Il. PETTITT HELD
FOR CROME OF INCEST.

VIM. f, Pettitt. a citizen of Merlin,
languishes in the county Jail in this
city with one of the most heinous
crimes in the calendar hanging over
his head, his daughter Julia, miss
of seventeen years, being the one
against whom an incestuous father
is alleged to have sinned
Pettitt's wife is an invalid. help.
less from an attack of paralysis and
from other diseases which she says
were superinduced by neglect and
abuse heaped upon her by the man
who had promised to love, honor
and protect" till death should sever
the bond.
Conditions became so bad for this
wife, and for the daughter who was
the issue of the marriage, that three
months ago the county authorities
took notice, and the suffering wo-
man was sent to the County Home In
Grants Pass, the daughter coming
with her to assist in her care. The
daughter had been neglected through
her unfortunate life surroundings,
and in her backward mentality can
not be held responsible for all the
Iwickedness that the father is said to
have visited upon her.
The day before Christmas when
all the world is supposed to be filled
with the spirit of love and of kind
ness and of good will toward men,
Pettitt the husband and father,
came to the county court and asked
that he be permitted to go to the
County Home and spend the one day
that is hallowed above all other days
by Christian people, in the company
of his family. OF course his request
was granted. 1t was natural and 1t
was right, and the court could not
read the inner man.
At the Home the Pettltts. mother
and daughter, occupied a room on tho
upper floor, the daughter occupying
one bed and the helpless mother the
other. Here Pettitt remained over
Christmas, both Christmas eve and
Christmas night being passed there,
and during this time 1t is charged
that the crime Of incest was cotamit-
ted.
The superintendent of the II ~
became suspicious that all was not
right, and investigation resulted in
complaint being made, and Pciiitt
was placed under arrest Friday ev.
cning and lodged ip the county jai!.
The bedrldden mother admits
knowledge of the fathers unnatural
crime, and the girl says that 1t had
continued during the residence at
Merlin, but that both the mother
and the daughter feared the fathers
wrath if they made the situation
public.
Prosecuting Attorney Kelly will
come here Monday, and will at once
make a thorough investigation and
take necessary proceedings Mean
time Pettitt Is being held in the coun-
ty Jail.
Petit is a man about so years of
age, and has worked off and on at |
day labor in the Merlin neighbor-
hood. Under the Oregon statutes
the crime with which he stands
Is punishable by imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for from
one to three years, or in the county !
jail from three months to one year,
and a fine of from 5000 to $1,000.
The juvenile court will probably at
once consider the case of the unfor-
tunate girl

John J. Campbell, winner of fourth
place in the annual Times-News Mara

possessor Of a gold medal today, having
won the closed ten-mile race held un-
der the auspices of the Memorial A. c..
after running the headiest and speediest
Of races seen in Washington for many
a day.
Campbell demonstrated conclusively
that he Is one of the best distancers
ever developed in this section of the
country, and that he is bound to be
reckoned with in future distance races.
In winning yesterdays race he out
gained such stars as Dick Scofield. War
ner Curley, and John Bolac, who de-
feated him in The Times-News race
last May.
Bolac. it will be remembered, placed
his name on the long list OF Washing
ton Marathoners by his game fight
from Laurel to Baltimore, when he
succumbed to Frank Ruth, of the Bal
timore c. c. c., in record-breaking
Marathon race. Bolac was not in shape

SUBSTANTIAL BOOST
FOR TENPIN CAME
lntercity Tournament in Which Washington, Bal.

Help to the Sport
By KIRK c. MILLER.

Tenpins are doomed to receive the
most substantial boost they have ex-
perienced for many moons at the inter-
city tournament to be held under the
auspices of the Washington City Bowl
ing Association, beginning Monday
evening, February 10. Every detail con-
corning the operation of the tournament
was thoroughly discussed last night be-
fore the local executive committee and
members of the bowling organizations
of Baltimore and Richmond.
Eighteen out Of twenty-five tenpin
teams which are members of the wash
ington City Bowling Association were
represented at the meeting. Richmond
sending w. H. Mcfarland and r. n.
Rousey. while Baltimore was represent
de by c. r. l.. Scott, of the Northwest
and Plaza teams.
1t was the sense of those present to
make the coming tournament one of the
most attractive, in the manner of prizes
and entrance conditions, that washing
ton has ever staged. AS Captain Hunt,
of the Engineer Department, expressed
1t, '.Tenpins are on the wane, and for
the uplift and maintenance of the game,
We must hold out every inducement to
the cities to send as large representa-
tion as possible to the intercity
matches.
The teams will be entered under class
A, which requires an individual average
of LIS or over. or a team average of in
the neighborhood of 500 Entries will
close on Monday, February 3. one week
before the first game IS rolled.
Entrance fees will be S. per team and
81 per man for each event. This amount
covers membership to the A. B. G., with
which the local organization is anil-
ated, and pays the expenses incident TO
the tournament including prize money:
Washington City Bowling Association.
For entrants in the single and two-man
events, the executive committee ruled
that the fee be reduced from 81 to so
cents Two substitutes will be allowed
10 each team
Baltimore and Richmond were not
vested with authority to make any
promises until they could return with
information they received last night,
they Indicated that sixteen teams may
come from the two cities, many of the
members of which will be entered in
the two-man events and singles. Six of
these are expected from Richmond. and
ten, perhaps fourteen, from Baltimore.
Latest averages from the National
Capital League show that stellar work
is the rule almost invariably, individual
" and as teams. During the past
month Welsbachs have increased their
lead over Palace, and it now looks as
though the former quint will walk out
in the lead.
