The Supreme Court says there was
no evidence of rape in the Annapolis
cases. Commissioner Roy, who wrote
the opinion, in summing up said:
"We haven't any doubt that there
were many times during that day
where a call or a gesture from Mrs.
Mullane would have brought the
whole community to her rescue. Hav-
ing failed during a whole day to call
for protection, which was right at
hand, it is too late to ask the court to
send the votaries of lust to the peni-

On the evening of June Oath, there
assembled at Graniteville, for the
dance given by the Base Ball Club,
one of the old time crowds-the kind
that know how to have a sociable
good time. The night was hot and
sultry, but Robinson and Casey kept
them going, which always adds to the
success of a dance. The manager
certainly deserves credit in the way
order was kept, and for the financial
success Of the dance. Alex Meyer,
the captain and manager of the team,
has the boys well lined up.
