More Charity Needed.

Since we cannot change conditions and
import city distractions into the quiet
country life any more than we can revo-
lutionize human nature and deprive us of
interest in our fellow beings, what can we
do to make the tendency to gossip kindly
instead of cruel? For cruel it often is
when the eagerness to make striking
story out of an innocent occurrence leads
us to put the worst Interpretation upon it.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-09-28

OF course If all of us had full measure
of Christian charity and of love for others
the kingdom of heaven would be here, and
there would be no need for seeking out any
other methods of correcting unkind gossip.
But so long as poor human nature remains
human we require helps of other sorts, and
one of the best of these is common inter-
est on which neighborhood can unite and
divert attention from individual short
comings.

him before the Senate lobby committee

tradition.

before the United States Commissioner,
Arson s. Taylor to surrender himself
under the bond OF 5000 70 be IN New
York on Tuesday Before he could begin
habeas corpus proceedings II was neces-
sary for him TO be In custody or under
arrest.
A long brief was filed by attorneys for
Lamar. the argument being that Lamar
had been In custody since he was ar
rested in spite OF the fact that he had fur
nished bonds. Commissioner Taylor an
hounced that he would make a ruling to-
morrow morning.
Lamar's attorneys intend To carry the
case 10 the United States Supreme Court
If necessary. They attack not only the
unwillingness OF Commissioner Taylor To
permit the surrender of their client but
contend that the two indictments re-
turned In New York are defective and
not based on statute setting forth that

LIED ABOUT OELR|CHS,
GIRL SAYS; NOT STABBED
Lucille Singleton ConfeSSeS to
MisStatements in Regard to
Young Millionaire.
HURTS FROM WIND SHIELD
Tells of Auto Ride and Wine
Drinking, but Asserts Com
panion Was Perfect Gen.
tleman While with Me-"

At the direction of District Attorney
Whitman, James O'Malley, one of his
assistants. will move in the Harlem po-
lice court this morning for the dismissal
OF the charge of feonious assault against
Hermann Oelrichs which was based on
the story OF Lucille Singleton that he
stabbed her Tuesday night while she
was riding with him in his automobile.
This action was decided upon yester-
day afternoon, when the woman admitted
there was absolutely no truth in her
story OF having been stabbed. She told
Mr.. OMalley that her injuries were
caused entirely by broken glass from the
wind shield when the car ran into tree.
She said she did not know why she
concocted the stabbing tale unless 1t was
that she had been drinking wine.
All suggestion that the girl was led
to change her story through financial or
other influence brought to bear by Mr..
Oelrichs was denied by Oelrichs's coun-
sci. Charles H. Strong. Mr.. Strong ad-
mitted that the sudden change Of front
on Miss Singletons part was open 10 dis
cussion. and then went on 10 explain the
precautions he had taken 10 allay any
misconstructlon OF the matter.
AT my request" Mr.. Strong said. "Mr
O'Malley, who was assigned 10 tho case,
went to see Miss Singleton. We did not
want to walt for the case to 20 through
the ordinary court proceedings before It
was investigated. because we knew that
her story Of the stabbing would not
stand up
Miss Sngleton's conflicting statements
TO the doctor and detectives and to Mr..
Taylor. Of my office, convinced us OF that.
And I want to say In this connection
also that there never has been any offer
from our side OF a settlement in any
form from myself, Mr.. Taylor or any
representative OF my Office. or from Mr..
Oelrichs. any member Of his family or
any representative OF the family.
when | took up the case ! said TO his
family that. in view Of Mr.. Oelrichs's
great wealth. they must remember that
not one penny must be given to the girl,
even In settlement OF possible civil
action for her injuries. as such action
might be misunderstood.
