GLENDALE

The people of Ellendale miss the
letters of Paul Pry" in the columns
OF the Chronicle each week. For more
than forty years 1 have read his bud
get OF news from Glendale with more
than passing interest, and as one of
the old timers" express my regret
tnat ths veteran correspondent has
been removed from the serving of in
terestingly told news happenings of
Ellendale-because of a long illness.
Oftimes 1 have been provoked over
some statement he made in his letters
but, after all it was news" and
Paul Pry" wrote it as he understood
the subject, in such manner that even
strangers to the people of Ellendale
were interested in the letters he con-
tributed for nearly forty-fve years.
Paul Pry" had his faults-like
other fOlk-but he was always alert
for news to print in his weekly letter
to the Milford Chronicle.
Several have aspired to fill his place
but as yet none have attained the
standard. 1 am too old to do the york
it needs youth and a deep rooted in
terest to write letters like those of
Paul PTy". But 1 hope you will soon
get the individual. Glendale has the
of an interesting letter each
week and the people of Ellendale
would be glad to have it appear.
The fruit business this season has
not brought any considerable amount
of cash to the business of Glendale
this year. The crops have been good

not full crop.
The usual coming and going of the |
people have been as in former sum-
mers, and the festivities and amuse-
ments just as numerous, but-as I
said befOre-I am too old to gather a
weekly news letter-sO cannot note
he happenings for this little letter. (

similar attack, when lye was thrown

Walters, when seen at central po-

complete alibi for each Of the dates
on which Mrs. Brooke was attacked.
He further declared that he does not
know her.

protested against his arrest, said the

Bradley Cavey, fireman employed

out the warrant after telling the story
Of the murder plot. and the warrant
was issued by Magistrate Robert +.
Joyce Of Hyattsville. Walters appeared
unconcerned apparently. One day. on
April 1, he was out with his wife. he
said, and on July he attended a ball
game and spent the remainder of the
night at home and several nights ago
when, II is alleged, Mrs. Brooke was

She looked at me very strangely, and

thought she knew me. Don't worry
he said, you'll know her soon enough.

According to Walters story, Cavey,
whose wife Is distantly related to
Mrs. Walters, has experienced domes-
tic difficulties. The local police have
received no request to arrest a wom-
an, who, 1t is said, threw the acid
or lye at Walters instigation. The
police declare that clearing up the

"To this end there has been formed

when he had made sure that the serv-

down at key he took from his pocket,
