POLITE RAFFLES
EXC|TES COUNTRY

BALTIMORE, Dec. 12.-The Green
Spring Valley and as far east as Tow
son is greatly excited over the visit
OF "Raffles" to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Francis T. Homer, Riderwood
Baltimore county.
Whether it was the same "Raffles"
who has been paying polite visits to
homes in the northwestern suburbs is
not known, but he was armed, gave
orders. smoked cigars, read a book,
carried away jewelry, and opened fire
when pursued.
AS a result OF the visit many OF the
homes in the northern suburbs are
prepared to meet any attack. In
Towson are many well-known shots,
and they are only waiting a chance to
get the drop on this "Ranfles." As
one well-known duck shooter said:
81 would just like to have my dou-
ble-barrel gun loaded with buckshot
and take a chance at fifteen yards"
1t seems that the robber had some
difficulty in getting into the home oi
Mr.. and Mrs. Homer. as Jimmy marks
were found on a number of the win
dows. II is thought that he entered
by window leading into the billiard
room on the first floor. His presence
was discovered when he was taking
jeweiry from a room occupied by a
nurse. Next he met the housekeeper
had a scuffIe with her, and escaped.
Webster Scott. an cmploye of tho
place. who lives near by. was notified
and fired three shots at the fleeing
robber. who returned the fire. The
robbery was reported to Marshal of
Police Carter. who detailed Detectives
Day and Carey to the scene. The de,
scription given the officers tallies
somewhat with that of the man who
entered the Stoll hOmC. West Forest
Park. last Sunday morning.
Marshal Carter announced last
night that practically no progress has
been made toward the Identification
of the burglar who has successfully
operated i'm the northwestern sub
urbs. II is believed. however, that
the detectives assigned to the differ
ont robberies have made some impor-
tant discoveries, but that for police
reasons the information is being care
fully guarded. Informed of the bur
glars visit 10 the country home of
Mr.. Homer. Marshal Carter sent De-
tectives Carey and Day to the house.

PEACE MACHINERY
AWAITS PRESIDENT
By william Philip sinm..

PARIS. Dec. 1.-THE peace machin-
cry Is at n standstill. pending the ar
rival OF President Wilson. Even In
formal preliminary conferences have
been abandoned until the American
Executive can be heard personally.
Newspapers OF all shades of political
affiliation agree that Mr.. Wilson's In
iluence will be enormous. Little is be
ing published at present regarding the
peace congress itself. but columns are
being devoted to President Wilson, his
principles. and his attitude.
The Temps declares 1t cannot foresee
any friction between London, WASH
ington, Rome, and Paris. II says the
accord which has existed since Amer
ica's entry into the war will continue
until peace Is assured. This unanimity,
II holds, will expediate the work Of the
inter-allied conferences.
There is some rivalry among the vari-
Gus political factions as to which shall
take the lead in welcoming Mr.. Will
SON Posters have been circulated by
the LaboriteS and Socialists, appealing
to the people to welcome him as an
advocate OF their particular brand OF
principles. The Temps objects to this
attitude. on the ground that Mr.. VIII
son Is the guest OF all France.
HE Is the guest OF no party. no fac
tion. no man." the newspaper declares.
"As a man Of great ideals OF justice
and liberty. who has touched the heart
OF all humanity, he Is the guest. Of
France II would reduce Slgnally the
Importance OF his role and risk com
promising influences. IL he were repre-
Sented as the champion Of any sub
sidiary cause.
President Wilson's task Is superior
to any party squabble. It marks =
great step in civilized society"

METHOD
IN NDOOTLEG CASES

Protest against the methods being
used by the police and prosecuting
attorneys in the cases OF alleged
bootleggers arraigned in Police Court
was entered today by Attorney James
L. Pugh, who formerly was a Judge
in the court.
Judge John p. McMahon was on
the bench in the absence OF Judge
Robert HardisoR who was unable to
be present because of a cold.
Attorney Pugh. in defending Flor
ence Colbert. colored, accused OF vio-
lating President wilson's prociama-
tion by bringing liquor within five
miles OF a military establishment,
said:
There Is an atmosphere Of suspicion
and the casting OF reflection on the
character OF all those who come before
this court on charge OF violation the
Presidential proclamation. / know OF
no other cases in this court in. which
detectives are held in obeyance TO be
set out on moments notice to bring
in witnesses to discredit testimony and
character Of defendants.'
Must Probe Defense.
Judge Mcmahon replied that he real
lied that the bootlegging cases are Of
peculiar character. but believed that
the defense OF bringing in liquor "for
personal and family use" should be
thoroughly investigated.
Testimony AdmlasibIe.
Judge Mcmahon said he felt that
any testimony tending to discredit the
truthfulness Of the for personal and
family use" defense should be intro
duced.
Florence Colbert had entered such
a defense when accused of having
twelve quarts of whiskey in her pos
session when arrested in a raid on a
train from Baltimore last Thursday
night. She tetsified she has bought
six quarts for brother, three quarts
Tor herself and three quarts for a
friend OF her brother. What seemed
to be discrepancies in her testimony
caused Prosecuting Attorney Ralph
Given to send detectives out in an
automobile to bring in witnesses.
Then Attorney Push entered his pro-
test against the new methods OF
prosecution.

own nome once OF tWlce.
Appears Intelligent.
Although 1t is said he cannot read
and write. the prisoner has a rather
intelligent face. He refuses to dis
cuss his case at any length, and iu
answering questions he weighs care
fully his answers. At the time OF
the crime Wright, who was stationed
at the proving grounds at Aberdeen,
Nd, was at home on a furlough, he
claims.
He strongly denies his guilt, and
says he remained at home the night
and day following the murder, fleeing
on the second day. He says he as
sisted the Farmer family and neigh
bors, Immediately following the crime.
in getting a-doctor and performing
other services, and the officers have
other evidence that he was in the
crowd that collected at the Farmer
home soon after the body was found.
The officers admit practically all
the evidence they have is circumstan-
tial. but they believe il is very strong.
They still hope to secure a confession
from the prisoner, and are working
along this line
The Washington times., 1918-12-12
Handkerchief Clue.

Among the tangible clues they
have. and which they claim point to
Wright, is an army handkerchief with
the initial "Wr in one corner, found
in the woods about 100 yards from
the body of the murdered woman.
They also have a suit of mans under
wear, blood stained. found by Police
man Sutor on the bank OF a branch
near where the handkerchief was
picked up. The owner of the gar
ments, shirt and pants, apparently
having failed to wash out the stains,
abandoned them. The woman's cloth
ing was torn and bloody when the
body was found. Although there is
nothing definite to show~that the un-
derwear belonged to a soldier, those
who have examined 1t say 1t is of ma
terial very similar to that used in
the army.
Several OF Wright's relatives had
been assisting the officers in their
search for the fugitive, believing him
to be innocent and feeling that this
could be established at a fair trial.
Among these is Waddy Wright, an
uncle OF the prisoner. who is also a
brother-in-law of the murdered wo-
man, having married her sister.
Wright is about twenty-seven years
OF age. The murdered woman was
twenty-four.
The Washington times., 1918-12-12
Fear Feeling.

1nere was reported 10 pc conSioer-
able feeling in the Chandler's noun
tain section yesterday. and officers
expressed the belief 1t would not be
safe to carry the prisoner to Rust
burg. a small town seven, or eight
miles beyond where the murdered
woman lived and which is the country
seat. Commonwealth Attorney A. H.
Light, of Rustburg, will come to
Lynchburg today and consult with the
officers and probably interview the
prisoner. when the date for his pre-
Hminary hearing probably will be set.
The crime with which Wright is
charged is spoken of as the most hor-
rible ever committed in Campbell
county. Rosa Farmer. who lived with
her mother, Mrs. j. H. Farmer, and
another sister, on the side OF the
mountain, had made IL a practice to
set two or three rabbit snares around
her home every fall. Every after
noon she would visit them to get the
game, II there was any, and to rebait
them. When she failed to return on
the afternoon of November 10 a
searching party was formed, and that
evening her body was found near one
OF the snares. Bruises made by
fingers on her throat indicated the
manner of her death. The only wound
found was a small hole that had been
punched through her right cheek, ap-
parently with a sharp-pointed pencil.
Almost from the first suspicion
rested on Wright, who lived within
about a mile of the Farmer home. The
only other arrest made in the case
was that OF a young negro. whose
dogs were seen in the woods in the
vicinity of where the body was found
on the day of the crime. but he es-
tablished an alibi and was discharged
at his preliminary hearing held before
Magistrate Fortune.

PROF. JOINS SIGNAL CORPS

Prof. Duke w. Young, teacher of
English in the local High School,
has filed an application for admit
lance to the Photographic Section
of the Signal Corps of the United
States Army, and will probably be
called in the near future. Prof.
Young is a native of Nicholas eoun-

College, Georgetown, Ky. He also
attended Northwestern University
at Evanston, III. Since last Sep
TENDER he has been a. member of
the faculty Of the local High

siderable experience that fits him
for the branch of service to when
he has applied. He is registered in
the draft and recently passed a fine
physical test and was placed in
Glass l, Division A. Prof. Young
is very popular here and many
friends will learn with regret that
he is to leave shortly.

DISASTROUS FIRE IN CLARK

j. II. Day and family, living on
the farm of r. P. Taylor, about
four miles from Winchester, had a
narrow escape from death, when
their home and all its contents were
burned. The family, consisting of
NJ. and Mrs. Day, daughter, Miss
Gladys, and two sons, Kash and
Curtis Day, were able to make their
escape, clad only in their night
clothes. Several members of the
family were forced to walk bare
foot on the ice. The home was
burned to the ground.
There was no insurance on the
contents of the house. Mr. Day
altered a similar loss about three
years ago in Mt. Sterling when his
home was destroyed by fire.
II is not known how the blaze
originated.
