CASE, HOWEVER. CoNTINU1Eps
SOME ERRONEOUS srArEsfENrs
OF DETAILS CORRECTED.

In The yirginian Thurvdny morn.
ing it was enormously stated that Il
@. Miles. Jr.s would appear before
the Police Court on q charge Of
Illegally dispensing cocaine
This Was not a correct or tafr
statement of the case. Mr.. Miles Is
charged according to the records OF
! tho police with attempting to procure
cocaine on a prescription alleged to
have been forged. the name OF DR..
/ L. Kari haMng been signed thereto.
1t was further mistakenly stated
that Miles was confined in Jail on the
charge against him. He bad not been
SO confined but was immediately re-
leased on bail when arrested.
His case was called ia Police
Court yesterday and DETECTIVES
] Krengel who arrested Miles asked
! For his dismissal On the ground that
there was no evidence against him
to support the forgery charge.
7 Justice Crutchfield declined to dis
miss the case and continued It until
January 10 to give the detectives
further opportunity to investigate
It is one theory that some party
mot known gave Miles the prescrfp-
ton to which DR.. Karp's name had
been attached. Miles presented 1t a.
Farley's drug store, at Third and
Main, where the forgery was detected
and the police notified.
Miles is only twenty-five years or
age He comes from a highly
reputable family and it is on the be-
half of such cases that the police,
public and press of Richmond are
waging war on the cocaine traffic and
