MILLER REPRESENTING
SELF AS SALVATION
ARMY MAN--JAILED
Was Soliciting Funds In Cum
berland.

On complaint Of number of
residents of the South End who re-
ported that a middle-aged man rep
resenting himself to be an agent
Of the Salvation army was solic-
iting funds, H. B. Miller, 45, who
gave Washington, D. c., as his ad.
dress was arrested In Cumberland
Thursday afternoon. Besides two
other hats Miller had an old style
army blue dress cap, with a red
ribbon sewed around the hat band
to initiate the Salvation Army.
He carried no credentials, but
had half pint bottle of cordial
Of declared alcoholic content,
which he said was medicine for
his heart" and $40 In coin He
bore his arrest meekly and with
self-imposed martyrdom.
According to several residents,
who reported him to police sta.
ton, Miller appealed for money,
stating 1t was for the poor moth
ers and children's outing" The
police On arresting him told him
he was two days late with his col.
lectlons, as the outing was held
Wednesday.
Miller said he had come from
Keyser, w. Va. where he had la
bored in the vineyard Citizens
who called up Commandant Geo
NJ. Woods, In charge OF the local
branch of the Salvation Army were
informed that Miller was fraud,
and that the police be notified.
Same Old Game.
While the similarity OF names
is no guarantee that they are one
and the same persons. some Mar
tinsburg people believe this to be
the same Miller who once posed in
the county as Salvation Army
worker and was arrested here in
1919 for the alleged theft of pair
of shoes and subsequently given n
Jail sentence for carrying a razor.
The later Miller also aroused
considerable sympathy while tenn
porarily residing in Winchester,
where he was picked up as an al
legged "bootlegger,' but won his re-
lease from jail by working upon
the sympathies of Winchester peo-
pie, who were led to believe him
the victim of dry" agents

JURY CLEARS BUT
WARNS JOHN HESS
Tells Him To Keep Away
From Public Park.

The peculiarities OF the average
jury were again evidenced last night
in a trial before Justice ]. d. Smith,
held at the law office of Noll and
Campbell, when they brought I'm a
verdict declaring John Hess not
guilty of trespassing upon Berkeley
View Park. but warning him to keep
off the place. r. S. Bouic, proprie-
tor of the park. appealed from the
jury's decision to the circuit court,
Hess was arrested some nights since
charged with trespaSSing at the
park and disturbing the peace. 1t
is understood the park management
had served notice on him to stay
away from the place. Following his
arrest Hess called for trial by
jury and the affair brought IA great
crowd Of people to town from that
section. The law Offices where the
session took place could hardly ac-
commodate them. Attorney c. N
Campbell represented the accused
and Prosecuting Attorney II. e. Han.
mis- appeared for the State.
Mr.. BOuic stated today that he
had invested $4,000 in the park and
was earnestly laboring to prevent
any disturbance occurring at this
point and would continue to do
everything to safeguard tho safety
of patrons or have their pleasure in
terferei with by iuimical visitors.
