MIlD0URNE'S FATHER
FIGHTS To CLEAR son
Declares His Conviction was a Mis-
take and That Developments VIII
Enable Him to Prove IL.

Efforts are being made. It was
learned yesterday. by II. r. Milbourne,
Sr, father of H. r. Milbourne. Jr., of
Henrico county. to prove that his son
was not guilty of the shooting OF spe-
cial Officer Blankenship. and for which
Milbourne was recently sentenced to
twelve months in Jail. Biankenship
was shot when he was attempting to
arrest several young men on a charge
OF firing revolver on a public road.
He was not seriously wounded. and
has since recovered sufficiently to re-
sumo his duties.
1t is claimed by the father of the
young man that the latter did not do
the shooting, and shortly he will be
able. to prove II. The Judge, 1t was
stated. having been advised that some
new developments were likely to be
made known, has announced his will
lingaess to walt a few days before
sentencing young Milbourne to the
roads. AT the time Of the trial it was
said that Milbourne was making an
effort to enlist in the navy, and IT
as mentioned after he was sentenced
that II he was taken into the naval
service. he would be pardoned. The
navy, however, refuses to accepts
those convicted of crime.

Arrangements are also being made to

that none OF II Is to be used in liqVor

and expectation.
