MAY FIND ALLEGED
GIRL SLAYER HERE
By Briggs

LYNCHBURG, Va, Dec. 2.--Is the
ing in Washington or is he seeking
refuge in the country hills OF Camp
bell county near the scene where the
pretty girl was found assaulted and
murdered on November 10?
County authorities who are search
ing for Mabon Wright, the soldier
charged with the murder of Rosa Far
mer, asked this question today after
they had ascertained that the man
did not go to Danville. This was an
other suspected hiding place OF the
fugitive.
The accused soldier was lsSt seen
at the Southern Railway station here
Tuesday night. A man who knows
Wright told the officers he saw him
hurrying to the station. At this time
the informant did not know a war
rant had been issued for the soldiers
arrest.
Two theories were developed by the
constamles working on the case un-
der direction OF Magistrate ]. w. For
tune, of Brookville district, in Camp
bell county. One was that Wright
fed to Danville.
The other theory was that the SOL
der took a train to Warrington
There, the authorities point out. he
might have a better chance OF hiding
in the throng of soldiers who are in
the Capital City.
while the authorities are at work
on the theory that Wright may be in
hiding in the woods OF Campbell
county they have refrained from noti-
flying the Washington police. Unless
some trace OF Wright is found within
the next forty-eight hours. it was pre-
dicted today, a general call VIII be
sent out for his apprehension.

GARDEN.

For the first three days OF this
week the feature OF the photoplay
bill at Moore's Garden Theater is
His Bonded Wife," in which the
stellar role is taken by Emmy Web
len.
The story is OF 4 young couple In
whose home perfect accord does not
reign for the reason that the young
wife possesses q fortune in bonds
while the equally young husband stiii
is struggling for a foothold in the
business world. What more natural
than that the husband should attemp:
to burglarize his own home in order
to remove a barrier to his complete
contentment? And what more nat
ural than that the plucky wife no:
recognizing the intruder, should,
with miraculous aim, wound her hus-
band with a convenient loaded revol
YER? It is such a tale that the picture
visualizes, but the denouement Is
something that must be seen to be
appreciated
The bill is completed by the Gus
tomary comedy and an effective or
