VIRGINIA POSSE FAR
OFF Slayer SUSPECT
Jerry Warren. Allege d
Murderer, is Caught in
Local Railroad Station
FEAR LYNCHlNG WHEN
He is RETURNED

While a posse OF Cape Charles, Va.
citizens, with sailors from the Cherry
stone naval base ana bloodhounds,
were securing the section about Ex-
more, Va, for Jerry Warren, a young
Negro wanted at Cape Charles, Va, on
charge of killing a police sergeant
and woundlng seven other men, the
alleged murderer was sitting In the
waiting room at French street station
this city, last night waiting for a Bal
timore train. He was recognized by
another Negro who formerly lived In
Cape Charles. and this man hurried to
the police station and informed Po-
lice Captain Kelleher Of the fact. The
Virginia authorities had seLt no flyers
to the local police but having read Of
the murder In the newspapers, the po-
lice realized that the clue was worth
something. Patrolman Johnson, who
has established a record during the past
few mouths In arrestlng desperate men,
was assigned to the case. The man who
furnished the clue stated that Warren
wore fuzzy cap and had a yellow
lead pencil sticking out of his coat
pocket.
officer Johnson hurried 10 the rail-
road station and found Warren waiting
for train, he having alighted from
the Delaware road train at o'clock.
After being taken 10 the police station,
Warren Is said TO have admitted being
involved In a shooting at Cape Charles
on Thanksgiving night, but said an
other man had done the shooting. Word
OF his capture was at once sent TO Cape
Charles and ea-ly today w. A. Sterling,
OF the Cape Charles police department,
and +. NJ. Tappan, foreman OF the DOCKS,
who employed Warren, arrived here
and identified him as the man want.d
on a murder charge. Warren waived
extradltlon and was taken back TO Vir-
gInia on the iO42 train.
According TO Offlcer Sterling. Warren,
while at a dance In Cape Charles on
Thanksgiving Day night. shot two
Negro sailors. warrant for his ar
rest was given to Police Sergeant James
Taylor, father Of eight children, who
went to the house where Warren had
taken refuge, and while sailors were
stationed about the building, Sergeant
Taylor attempted 10 enter. He fell
mortally wounded by a shot from the
revolver said to have been fred by
Warren, who then bolted from. the rear
OF the building. The fleeing man was
seen by one OF the sailors, who at
tempted TO shoot him, but his gun be-
ing new and gummy, the hammer
stuck.
Warren escaped and made his way to
Cobb, Va, and from there TO Exmore.
and on Saturday night he left there by
train for Keller. Yesterday morning
he had a man drive him TO Snow Hill,
Md. In an automobile, and from there
he crossed to Harrington, Del He was
waiting for a southbound train when
arrested here last night.
The two officers today stated that
they would not take Warren 10 Cape
Charles, fearing that he would be
lynohed, as Sergeant Taylor had died
since being shot. Before death the Of
lcer said the Negro had fred the shot
The officers will take Warren to Ac-
comac, Va, for safe keeping.
While at the police station today,
Warren appeared to be very nervous
and asked for cigarettes and a drinh
OF whiskey.

The skip-stop system will be abolish
ed on the city trolley lines. beginning
next Sunday. The Public Utilities Com
mission. at fifteen minute meeting OF
noon today, voted 10 resclnd the order

In effect before the skip-stop order
Charles H. Ten Weeges, State Fuel Ad-
ministrator, and Thomas w. Wilson,
vice president and general manager OF
the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company attended the meet
ing.
Mr.. Ten Weeges said that the fuel
situation was now somewhat improved
and he did not think II would be neces-
sary 10 continue the skip-stops to save
fuel, at least not at present.
Mr.. Wilson said the Traction Com
pany approved the idea OF going back
TO the old system.
Members 0f th5 commission also sp-
proved, saying the Christmas crowds
and the coming OF slippery weather
would increase the danger and dlscom-
fort Of the skip-stops.
IL was the consensus or opinion that
the skip-stops were a general incon-
venience, and as long as the fuel stu-
alton would admit. everybody would be
glad to go back 10 the old system. The
order requiring skip-stops may, how
ever, be put into effect again at any
time that II seems necessary.
Mr.. Wilson said that for the present
the trolley men would be ordered TO
ignore the painted signs, but the signs
themselves would remain for the pres
ent. Beginning with December 8, II

All employers should at once file their

II is said that the most important i'm
