State House Chat

The advisory board in the matter of
paroles will meet on July and Gov
Curtis, on learning the date told the
members to keep an eye out for good
men for parole. Warden Waterhouse,
who was present, thought that he had
about 10 men at the State prison eligi-
BILE for parole and the Governor sug-
gested that they be looked after. Then
he looked at the Journal man with a
smile, as much as to say: We'll, here's
where we put one over on you and
make 10 good Democratic voters"
The Governor had occasion to address
the secretary Of State during the meet
ing and in reply the secretary of State
replied: Yes, your honor" and no one
but the Governor smiled. Most people
know that the secretary of State is
a lawyer and the incident would seem
to make the fact plain.
Councillor Lawrey suggested that the
members of the Council should have a
group picture taken and the idea met
with general favor. The time and place
was not set, but it will probably be at
the July meeting.
1t is understood that about 700 ap-
plicants for pensions under the needy
blind act have appeared. OF these some
-odd made application at the June
term. Some over 20 town paupers have
been entirely eliminated and the lists
have been revised and checked up so
that one Of the rejected making anoth-
er application will be easily located.

with the new wages scale recently
promulgated by the Navy Department,
and blaming the naval constructor
for the condition of affairs, the COM
mittee from the trades at the Norfolk

to have adopted an ultimatum to be

that unless demands are carried out
there viii be a general wllkout OF
the men.
1T is. contended by the union labor
leaders that they have not been fair
ly treated with regards to the wages
to be paid mechanics in the yard and
the demand is that these be placed
on satisfactory basis. and in proper
ton to the wages in other navy yards.
and in private shipyards They de-
clare that the discrepancies against

staunton, Va. Dec. s1.---J w.
Worth. of Augusta County. was III
Staunton this week obtaining sigma
lures to petition. which will be pre-
$685.. Governor Stuart, requesting
him TO pardon Worths son. A. ID.
Worth. who has served half of five
year State prison term 1t Is claim
ed the young man is in III health.
Worth was formerly a hotel clerk in
Stanton. He was convicted and SEN
fenced In the early part of 1919 for
shooting and desperately wounding
Luther II. Bosserman, a promiu~nt
business man who came home one
day unexpectedly, and found Worth
lin the company of Mrs. Bosserman.
Worth and Mrs. Bosserman were sent
to Jail, the latter as an accessory.
The shooting precipitated a series
of sensational trials, the result Of
which was that Worth went to- the
penitentiary and the woman went
free, two juries having failed to agree
when she was tried, first as ar ac-
cessory and later for perjury. Her
sister, Mrs. Nellie Rowzie Rowan. was
also tried for perjury. but the jury
failed to agree. and the cases against
the woman were nolie pressed.
Mr.. Bosserman finally recovered.
He declined to testify against the
wife. but obtained a divorce, and has
since married again.
