George w. Marshall, OF Gloucester
county. Va, who was arrested last
night. under the search and seizure
act, on the charge of violating the
prohibition laws of North Carolina, a
large quantity of whiskey and beer
having been found on board his boat,
the Grace, was given a hearing be-
fore Mayor Bangert this afternoon and
bound over to court. A bond OF only
$50 was required, but the mayor took
the view that the wet goods, which
were confscated by the city. and
which evidently cost Marshall a good
round sum. will operate along with
the bond to hold him for court, which
opens the first week in September.

CONTROL HOUSED

SO far thirty-seven "old men" have
been chosen for the next house Of
delegates. Sixty-three new men will
have to be reckoned with in the or

day morning locked In the basement Of
the home of John Bagby. 1905 Monu-

they made their escape by climbing up
through q coal chute.
Robert Epps, colored. was wanted by
the police on two charges OF forgery.
The detectives learned that he was ern :
ployed by Mr.. Bagby and went there
at s o'clock in the morning, finding him
sweeping the front steps. He greeted
them cheerily, seemed aware of their
errand, and asked permission to lock
up the house, explaining that no one
was within except Mr.. Bagby, and he
was asleep upstairs.
Locked In Cellar.
Epps was so quiet and complacent
that they had no hesitation in allowing
him to lock up, never dreaming that.
Incidentally, he intended locking them
up. too. After locking up TWO rooms
on the first floor, he invited them to the
basement No sooner had they followed

They battered wildly at the door few

ray of light from a far corner OF the
room gave them hope, The light came

short distance when they saw Epps
boarding a car going downtown. The
car was caught and halted. and one
entered the front while the other en-
tered the rear.
Epps was taken from the car and
hurried TO the Second station, where ex-
animation showed that he had been
shot in the thigh. The city ambulance
was summoned. and DR.. M F. Tore
srosa. who treated the injury, said that
it was only flesh wound and not dan
