WARRANTS, DISMISSED IN

Especial to The Times Dispatch
DANVILLE. VA. Nov. 1S.-The
four warrants issued in Martinsville
in connection with the killing Mon
day night of Roosevelt Robyns. OF
Guilford County. n. c., were dis
missed at preliminary hearing
held there this morning before Mag
isIrates Shelton and Drewry.
The Commonwealth'S Attorney AT
the outset OF the hearing asked for
the dismissal of the warrants against
the three officers, Harold Stutz, Hem
ry Meade and Roy IIensiey, iii order
that the State might have witnesses.
This was done and IL became plain.
that the effort was to be made to
saddle the crime on Ernest Craig. n
citizen OF Martinsville, who had been
asked by Stultz to assist inthe cap
ture OF the automobile in whicn
Eobyns was riding. and which was
suspected of containing liquor.
y When. however. the effort was made
to show that Craig had fired the fatal
shot, there was no evidence that he
had a pistol or that he had fired AMI

To fall back upon. lost it's case. and
the dismissal OF the Craig warrant
WAS entered.
The whole theory OF the Common
wealth's Attorney was that the bull
let extracted from the dead body az
Robyns was fired from n .3s calibre
revolver. This, however. was only
a theory. because the ball was 50
mutila;ed that II could not be defin-
itely classed. The officers undertooS
to show that as they were firing
pistols OF 80 calibre IL could not
have been one OF them who fired
the fatal bullet.

OF the league OF nations and have

that 1t might be necessary to ira

LONDON. Nov. ls.-There are two
widely divergent views in England
over the order cmanating from
Downing Street. under which con-
struction OF four super-battleships OF
the Hood type. is suspended until
further instructions Srom the Ad-
miralty."
The first. held by government Of
ticials, the press. and the public gem
orally, Is that the decision of the gov
ernment is Il master stroke OF d.
plomacy" as illustrating the good
faith OF Great Britain in her accept
ance of the principle OF armamc mt
limitation as laid down by Secretary
Hughes.
The second is that which would
have been expected from Admiralty
circles, a feeling of dismay and irri-
tation ut the order. Officials OF the
Navy Department. In spite OF semi
official statements that the tenn
porary halting of warship construc-
tion is tho logical outcome" OF
events OF the past week, at Washing
ton, feel that tho action should have
been delayed until definite decisiona
regarding disarmament are reached
and agreed to.
The Admiralty disclaims any con-
nection with the order and declares
that the Premicr's notihca tion reached
headquarters without explanation.
Letters We're Immediately sent TO the
construction firms. notifying them not
to incur any more liabilities for the
building of the vessels until further
Instructions are issued by the Ad-
miralty."
Press md Public show Relief.
The press and general public, on
the other hand. have greeted tho or
der with feeling of vast relief. and
as n forcrunner OF lesscning OF
naval expenditures. which should
work to the economic good OF the
country.
Officially it is stated that the stop
page OF construction is "England's
first step TO prove that she is de-
the Hughes program" II will be
noted that the order for cessation is
so worded that construction could be
resumed at any moment.
AS an example of the navy view.
one member OF the Admiralty seen
today by the United News held that
definite results from the conference
should be attained before work
ceased on the new vessels, and
pointed out that the United States
itself has not halted It's building pro-
