MAY ESCAPE TRIAL.
Charge Against Holy Rollers" May
Not be Considered.

Bristol, Va, May 2S.-1t now looks
though the twenty "Holy Rollers"
who were indicted in Carroll county
recently charged with having MUIR
dered David King, farmer. of the
Fancy Gap community, who was fouHd
dead in his barnyard after the cult
had prayed fervently for his divine
removal. are destined to escapa pun
ishmcnt. The case was called for trial
a. the last term of the Circuit Court
a, Hillsville, but because the indict-
ment had on the opinion of the court
been improperly made, it was quash-
ed. and the court stated from the
bench that the matter would not be
further considered unless there should
new and more conclusive develop
ments.
At the head of the list of church
men who were indicted was Rev. John
Henry Frazier who had been active
in the services in which prayers were
offered for tah removal of King. Rev.
John Crockett, negro minister, was
also in the list of men Indicted.
The trouble with King, so far as the
cult was concerned, was that he did
not embrace their doctrine and he
Furthermore, entered strenuous OBJ
iections when his wife showed an in
cjination to embrace the faith. This
resulted in prayers among the men,
bers of the cult for his removal, and
it was but few days until his dead
body was found in his barnyard.
Members con;ended that King had
died from natural causes. that God had
removed him in accordance with their
prayers. but without violence, such as
would have placed the blood of King
directly upon human agency Inc
coroner who investigated the death,
came to the conclusion that King did
not die from natural causes, but was
murdered and told how his head had
been crushed in by blow. The coro-
ner was thoroughly convinced that
King had met his death by foul play,
but the Judge of the court was of the
opinion that more substantial evi-
dence should be secured before any Of
the n,en suspected should be arraign-
cd on the charge of murder.

QUICK JUSTICE At
FAIRFAX TODAY
Negro Charged With Crime
Against Six-Year-Old
Girl.
TRIAL ON FRIDAY.
Unspeakable Crime Followed by
Quick Arrest-Judge Thoraton Or
ders Special Grand Jury.

A crime. so horrible in it, aet4lis
that officers of the court, harucned
to many pitiful story heard in the
coure Of their work, shuddered as
the facts were told at Fairfax court
house today when Judge J. B. T.
Thornton, presiding in the Circuit
Court ordered a special grand jury
to consider an Indictment against
Benjamin Bailey, negro, who was
arrested last night.
The victim of Bailey's fie2dishness
is little six-year-old girl, Mary
Fo!in who lives on a place owned by
her f: her, Gabriel Follin, a farmer
at Glc-.. Falls. which is in Fairfax
county. The offense occurred on last
Thursday, but it was not until yes
terday that a warrant was issued. The
ch;'i was badly injured Owen Daley,
constable OF the Drainvilae district,
cartured the negro and brought him
to Fairfax courthouse where he was
placed in Jail.
Immediately on arrival at the court
house this n'orning, Judge Thornton
ordered a specia grand jury which
convened at once r. B. Tyler, was
named as foreman, and after hear
ing the evidence brought in true
bill against Bailey charging him with
a capital offense.
ailcy. black Eegro. seemingly
about % or q years OLD. immediately
was brought into court. He seemed
to be half witted and did not under
stand he few questions that were
put to him. Not having a lawyer,
Ju| ge Thornton appointed j. W. Bal
lard and r. r. Farr to defend him
and set his trial for Friday morning
at ten o'clock. 1t is understood that
Bailey made full confession.
rs soon as the terrible crime be-
came known throughout Fairfax
county last night and this morning
there was some fear Of ihe negro be-
ing lynched, but the prompt action Of
Judge Thornton in summoning
special grand jury and setting the
trial for so early date is believed
to nave forstalled any action on the
part Of the people to take the Law
in their own hands.

Pass Kern Resolution.

The Senate yesterday passed the
Kern resolution calling for an inves-
tigation of the general industrial sftu-
alton in the bituminous coal region
of West Virginia with special refer
ence to the recent disturbances in
the Paint Creek colleries. The res
olution has been pending ever since
the assembling of Congress. 1t has
been referred to two committees both
of which reported favorably upon it.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1913-05-28

! for the coming year. In doing so ne
Fmade a number of explanations OF
1.-THE various items some Of which havs
been increased this year. The bill
was passed.
! Mr.. Field also submitted reports
of the same committee upon commun
,ications of the City School Board and
iAlexandria Free kindergarten, the
former announcing shortage OF
$4,000 and the latter asking for an
appropriation Of $500. The chairman
o fthe committee stated that the ap-
preparation for school purposes had
ibeen increased materially in the ap-
preparation bill previously disposed
iof, an dthat $3.50 for the Kindergar-
ten is provided for in the bill.
There was some interchange OF
opinion in regard to the increased
item for public schools.
Mr.. Ballenger was averse to one
of the rooms in Lee building being
fused for kindergarten purposes, in
the crowded conditions now existing
in the public schools. He saw no rea-
son why the school board could not
hold its sessions in one of the school
rooms, and not have separate
apartment for them.
The reports were finally adopted
by unanimous votes.
The committee on streets made
favorable reports on a resolution ap-
propriating $1,000 for the construc-
tion of sewer on Payne street, from
Cameron to Queen, also on a resolu-
ton appropriating $1,000 to resur-
face and asphalt Columbus street
from Queen to Oronoco.
Mr.. Field said Council had better
move slowly in matters calling for
$1,000 anG $1,000 here and there, as
they soon run up sums which the city
would find it hard to manage. He said
the city had already mapped out
work to cost $4,000, and had been
compelled to borrow $4,000. Four
thousand would be borrowed to carry
the city over to the new fiscal year.
These sums would amount to many
thousands of dollars.
Mr.. Ballenger aske Mr.. Field how
much money the city would receive
back from abutting property-owners.
Mr.. Field said about one-fifth of
the expenditure, and five years would
elapse before that was paid.
Mr.. Ogden hoped the resolution
would pass.
Mr.. Field announced that he would
vote for he measures, and that he
was merely calling attention to eX"
listing conditions.
The recommendations of the COM
mittee were adopted.
The other business was transacted
without debate.
