Justice Crutchfeld, yesterday. con-
tfnued until September the charge
AGAINST River" George, colored. who Is
alleged to have assaulted his wife sew
crai years ago. The negro was placed
under arrest soon after the alleged as
sault but managed to escape from Po-
liceman Whitlow while he was being
placed in the patrol wagon. Whitlow
fired at him and 1t is believed struck
him In the fpcle scar there leads
tn" police to this belief.
However. the local authorities have
learned that Annie George, the wife.
has been dead some months and there
is no one to appear against the negro
on the old charge. The fact that
George is thought to be the negro
wanted in Pennsylvania on a charge OF
shooting another negro. Is what led
Justice Crutchfield to continue his
case, SO rs to allow Chief Werner to
communicate with the Pennsylva MIA
authorities concerning their charge
