Judge N. A. Morris
Eliminates He Will
Retire January

CANTON, Ca, Dec. 9.-The su-
perior court of Cherokee county con-
vened here Monday with Judge N. A.
Morris presiding. Under the act of
the last general assembly this is a
regular term of this court, the
county having had only two terms
per year prior to this time. There
is full calendar to be dispensed
with during the week, and perhaps
court will continue to the latter part
of the week.
Judge Morris intimated to the
grand jury that it was his intention
to retire from the bench January /,
1920. He delivered an excellent
charge to the grand jury, reviewing
his record as judge and his stand in
favor Of the enforcement of the laws
of the state. Judge Morris charge
to the grand jury dealt particularly
with the enforcement of the prohibi
ton laws of the state and nation,
but drew a line of demarcation be-
tween a violator of this law for pc
cuniary purposes and one who vio-
lates without personal gains. 1t is
not yet known who will be appoint
ed as successor to Judge Morris.

Two Neighbors Jailed
For Murder of Dansey
Baby in New Tersev

HAMMONTON, N. j., Dec. g.
Charles S. White, a son of Coun-
Gilman Edward H. White, and Mrs.
Edith Jones, housekeeper for the
councilman, were held in the county
jail at Mays Landing today to await
the action of the grand jury in con-
nectfon with the death of three-year-
old Billy" Dansey, whose body was
found by hunter in swamp about
two miles from his home here on
November 81.
White is charged with the murder
Of the child while Mrs. Jones is ac-
cused of being an accessory after
the fact. Both were arrested here
yesterday and after a hearing before
magistrate, at which they pleaded
not guilty, were held without bail
and locked up in the county jail.
White is the owner Of a dahlia
farm adjoining the Dansey farm and
is said to have been the last one
to see the child alive. He is alleged
to have told the Investigators that
"Billy" was walking in a different
direction from that in which the body
was located. He is twenty-nine years
old and is the father of "Charlie''
White, the child playmate of BILLY"
Dansey.
Mrs. Jones is fifty-three years old,
and has been the housekeeper for
Whites father for eighteen years.
The Dansey boy disappeared from
his home here on October 8, and a
nation wide search had been conduct
ed for him on the theory that kid
naperS had taken him.

RICHMOND. Na.-How S. Dabney
Crenshaw, Jr., former University of
Virginia student, son of a high otti-
cial of the Virginia-Carolina Chem
ical company. with headquarters in
Richmond, and a grandson of the late
General Cassius NJ. Clay, of Ken
lucky, former American minister to
Russia, was transformed from Il per-
son with criminal instincts to per-
fectly normal being by an operation
on his skull by DR.. William Sharpe,
eminent New York surgeon, is de-
scribed by DR.. Beverly r. Tucker,
LEGAL nerve specialist and alienist.
The explanation was made during
habeas corpus proceedings in city
circuit court, which resulted in Cren-
shaw's discharge from the south
western Hospital for the Criminal
Insane at Marion, Va.
Crenshaw was committed to that
institute last July, after being tried
three times at Charlottesville, Va,
for robbing the chemical laboratory
at the University Of Virginia, early
in 1917, of a quantity of platinum
and then burning the building in an
effort to cover up the theft.
At each trial the jury failed to
agree The defense was that he was
insane at the time of the commission
of the crimes, but had since been
restored to normal mentality by an
operation on his skull.
DR.. Tucker testified in the proceed
ings that he considered the opera
ton eminently successful in every
respect, the whole character and at

Mrs. BRADoTREET
AGREES To GIVE Up
PROPERTY TO BANK

Mrs. Catherine F. Bradstreet, wom-
an principal in the FairbuTn bank
case, has signed an agreement giving
up all her property save a few per-
sonal belongings, and a court order
has been issued making the receiver
ship of her property permanent and
opening the way for it to be sold
and the proceeds turned over to the
Fairburn Banking company.
This latest and most sensational
development in the case since the
original arrest of Mrs. Bradstreet.
Clarence Bradstreet and William B.
Green, appears to end Mrs. Brad
streets connection with the case in
solar as civil proceedings are con-
cerned.
1t does not, however, dispose OF
the property of Green, Clarence
Bradstreet and Mrs. Bradstreet's IA,
Their, A. P. Queen. This property
is still in the hands of a temporary
receiver, and so far as is known
neither Green, Bradstreet nor Queen
have withdrawn from their an
nounced intention to make a fight
for it.
Neither does the settlement on
Mrs. Bradstreet's part affect charges
of embezzlement pending against her
Bradstreet and Green, although the
surrender of property in similar
cases has often been known to re-
suit in the quashing of criminal pro-
ceedings.
Mrs. Bradstreet's agreement by
h ortI &
signed last Saturday, although the
fact did not become public knowledge
until Tuesday, when the order based
on the agreement and making the
receivership permanent was signed
by Judge John T. Pendleton in the
superior court.
Interesting possibilities are opened
by a clause in the agreement relat-
ing to the disposal Of this property.
a clause which permits it to be sold
either publicly or privately. Attor-
neys for the bank said they WERE
not yet ready to announce how it Will
be sold, however.
Another interesting point was that
the agreement and the court order
both specifically state that they shall
not affect the issue as it concerns
Green, Bradstreet and A. P. Queen.
The total value of the property
surrendered by Mrs. Bradstreet is
estimated at between $4,000 and
$4,000.
The Fairburn Banking company
filed in the superior court Tuesday
afternoon a reply to the recent in
tervention by Clarence Bradstreet in
which Bradstreet asserted that
diamond ring and other properties
were bought by him with his own
money. The reply declares Syad-
streets statements are false and
that the property in question was
bought by Mrs. Bradstreet and given
to him.

Vanderbilt Student
Held for Manslaughter

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Dec. 9.-Last
Saturday, morning Edwin c. Hollins,
Vanderbilt law student acted as
judge sin a moot court held by his
class. The case was a mythical au-
tomobile accident that occurred at
the coroner of Fifteenth avenue and
Broadway.
Tomorrow Hollins will go on trial
to answer a charge Of manslaughter
in connection with the killing Of
Miss Mary C. Maury, assistant Car
negie librarian, by automobile at that
identical spot last Saturday night.
After the accident Hollins is re-
ported to have driven away at high
speed. Upon surrendering to the po-
lice Sunday, he claimed that he knew
nothing of the tragedy until Sunday
morning when he read of it in the
newspapers. He stated to the police
that he then examined his car which
was damaged slightly and that not
until then did he suspect an acct
dent. Hollins' home is in Louis
lama.

By Operation on Brain Criminally
Inclined Youth Restored to Normal

first examined the patient, soon after
the latter's arrest in 1917, he said,
his pulse was far below normal, his
blood pressure never over 100 and
his spinal pressure fully three times
what it should have been. The pa
tient showed many abnormal men
tai symptoms, appreciation of
the crime he had committed and no
affection for his family.
The alienist gave a technical de-
scription of the operation, which was
performed in his hospital here, say
ing that the brain had been exposed
and found lin a diseased condition.
Since the operation he had observed
Crenshaw at his three trials and
frequently at other times and had
detected no trace of moral lapses
or delinquencies.
81 consider his cure absolutely
permanent and I now consider him,
a normal man." he declared.
DR.. e. H. Henderson, superintend-
ent of the hospital at Marion, in de-
failing the history of the case, said
that, from his early youth, Crenshaw
was decidedly abnormal, suffering
from excessive intra-cran pres
sure, which had left him to commit
many thefts and other criminal acts.
1t was brought out at the hearing
today that the two indictments
against Crenshaw had been mol
pressed when he was sent to Marion
and that there was nothing of le-
gal character to cause him to be de-
tanned there.
AS Judge Scott entered the formal
order granting him freedom, Cren-
shaw leaned over and kissed his
mother, who was seated behind him.
