Gus sums of money, and that he
and paid her $1,495, but could not

WEST VIRGINIA
CONF|SCATED

CHARLESTON, w. Va, June 9.-More
than 13o cities, towns and villages in
West Virginia were married on a Spe'
cially prepared map Of the state FOUND
on the person of an alleged !. W. w.
leader who was arrested in Pittsburgh.
June S. in connection with investiSa-
tions Of bombing outraScs in that city
and elsewhere. The man is said to have
admitted being an !. w. w. but refused
to give any reason for having the West
Virginia map on his person. 1t is the
opinion Of Governor Cornwell that the
places marked on the map design'oc q
places whore agents Of the organization
are located.
Governor CornwcIl was in Washington
when he learned that such a map had
been taken from McGurty and he t"!C-
Eraphed the Pittsburgh chief Of police
for information regarding III" markings
on IT. Instead the map itself was sent
for his inspection
Nearly every county in tho stat" is
marked with one to a half dozen dots
heavily impressed with pencil. and tho
map apparently was intended for p"rma-
nCnt use, since it was pasted on heavy
canvas.
Governor Cornwclls belief that IN"
markings arc locations Of representa-
tivcs Of tho l. W. W. organization is
based largely on information which he
himself has had placed in his possession
In the last six months. This informa-
ton dicloscs that there are ]. w. W.
agents or members in many Of the
places marked by the dots on tn" map.
Nine places in Eanawha county w"r"
