jefferson County Man in Trouble.

lanes Gray, of Harper's Ferry,
claiming to be a brakeman on the Bal,
timore & Ohio Railroad, was arrested
last Friday afternoon by Officer Hough,
saws the Martinsburg Journal, on
complaint filed by Miss Pearl Roo-
inson, who gave her home as Pleasant
Valley, Pa, and her temporary resi-
dence as Cumberland. The charge
unon which the officers are holding
GRAY is that of violation OF the keed
amendment and the State prohibition
law. in bringing four quarts of liquor
into the State from Williamsport. In
cidentally it might be stated that Gray
declares he purchased the liquor from
a Winchester man at point along the
Williamsport pike. north of Martins
burg. but the officers are skeptlcal ABOUT
this story. Miss Robinson made a
written statement to Deputy Marshall
w. Athey and Officer Seibert, in
which she said she first met Gray in
Cumberland on March 10th, and that at
his request she accompanied him 10 a
point east Of Cumberland, where they
spent the night together on canal ooat'
The next day, she says, they crossed the
river into West Virginia, where Cray
purchased tickets over the Baltimore &
Ohio for Martinsburg. She states that
GRAY left her at the Berkeley Hotel on
March 2lst, after she had surrendered
about $50 of her money to him. He
then disappeared, and his prolonged
absence caused the girl TO become
anxious, and she notified the officers,
who kept a lookout for him, with the
result that he was arrested on the street
in Martinsburg. with four quarts of
whiskey in his possession. The girl
says she is 81 years old. She is small,
rather neatly dressed, and not ill-look-
ing She is in charge of the officers,
pending the result of the investigation
now being made into the affair by the
federal and State officials. While no
charge of white slavery has been as yet
filed against Gray, it is likely that this
end of the case will be given attention
before Gray is through with the officers.
