War rem Dawley, -overseer of the poor for the town of Richmond, caused a war rant to be issued for the arrest of George AIarshallifor the abandonment and ncn-support of his wife and two children. The warrant was given Tor service to Charles Fuller chief of po- lice of the town of Richmond, and, be- of North fStonington,- he enlisted the aid of Deputy Sheriff Casey%of Pawca- tuck. For. two days they searched in vain for George Marshall, but no per son Of that name could be located.
 Finally the officers became satisfied that if Marshall was in the town of North Stonington he was there under an assumed name, Acting on this the ory, the officers located George Nor gan. who resided in small house on the New London road about mile from the village of Milltown.. and found that Morgan was the George Marshall whom they sought. He was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Casey and when the Rhode Island line was reached the prisoner was given. into the custody of
 
 Westerly Here he was arraigned be- fore Judge Oliver H. Williams in the Third district court and held for trial in bonds of $500, which he could not furnish, and he was committed to the Kingston jail.

The officers also took charge of the child-mother and her baby and brought them to West erly, where the mother. was examined condition would permit a return to her home in Wyoming or be retained in Westerly temporarily. The girl and baby were sent to wyoming.
 Marshall will be held on the non- support charge until a charge of a more serious nature can be prepared against him. The officers secured ann pie evidence of MarshaIfs guilt The evidence includes a number of letters that the girl had written to Marshall. explaining her condition. and what it would mean to her and to her sister, Marshall's wife. As a result of this correspondence the girl went to North Stoni2gton three weeks ago, one week before the birth. of the child.

Seventeen to Masters

OFFER. OF VIRGINIA
Younger State Says it Was Not
Understood That Interest was to be
Expected in Claim.

Washington. D. c., April 2l.-A
iinal brief has been filed with the
United States Supreme Court by At
torney General Lilly, of West Vir-
ginia, in the Virginia West Virginia
debt case making seventeen excep-
tions to the report of the master ap
pointment, by the court to prepare
settlement, claiming credits OF ap-
proximately S5,0GO,000 more than.
gwen by the master and stating a
number of reasons why West Fir-
g,nia should not be charged interest.
In the contract made between the
two States TO adjust the debt after
a reasonable investigation, the West
Virginia Attorney General declares
no promise was made by the younger
State to pay any interest and no con-
sideration Of interest was contem-
plated at the time Of the making OF
the contract. He also gives numer-
Gus other reasons why no interest is
chargeable.
Other credits now in the Golfers OF
Virginia such as stocks in, and loans
to, several railroads, Of which West
Virginia received no part, are claim
ed over and above credits named in
he masters report to the extent of
slo,7s7 31s. .l6. West Virginia's share
of this 90 1-2 per cent, would be 81
;s37, ,3es. .76. Attorney General Lilly
declares.
Other credits claimed are $780,

pinia counties rs taxes after 1863
and moneys improperly charged to

West Vireinia's increase s2,sSs,4o5-

against Virginia's claim approSimat-
ing s7,oOO,OOO of S 5,757,245. II.
If no interest lis chargeable this
would apparently make West Vir-
ainia's indebtedness just little over

lninion.
