the morning after a strenuous
game Of golf? One would think a
man could devour that many IL golf
is the game people swear II is.
l don't think II good taste for one
who plays such an aristocratic
game as golf to complain about
prices. The persons in the District
who lug their own golf bags are
saving a fortune in the way of
caddy's fees. so why kick about the
price OF playing or the cost OF
sinkers? 1t is very inconsistent
and appears to be as ridiculous as
millionaire at the Willard COM
planning about the price OF a
chicken dinner. There are cheaper
games than golf where pennies
figure. Try penny ante for
change. PONZl.

August 5, 1922.

years to count the people that are

mine. and 1 do II without thinking
why. On this car at this time

/ found consolation in the thought
that IL this car turned over that 1

a soft place to land. no matter
which way II turned
After We had got out into the
country three or four miles, the
conductor crowded his way, or.
rather. jammed his way through
the crowd of passengers. and in a
gruff manner accosted two little
girls who had a little puppy con-
cealed between them, and told them
to get off at the next stop. as IL
was against the law to carry dogs
on the cars. The puppy was a small
one and was making no noise nor
disturbing any one, and no one
knew 1t was there, and no harm
was being done to anyone, unless
the conductor thought that a four
legsed dog might detract some at
tentfon from him. When the car
reached the next station he ordered
them off. and they quietly got on.
Those two little girls, because Of
their love for a little puppy were
publicly humiliated and forced on
a car by a brute of man wearing
the uniform of a servant OF cor
poration in the state OF Virginia.
II was a dastardly deed
II 1t is against the law for a lit

say about a corporation crowding

The Woman Who Was With Fitz-

Last week S. F. Boggs and J. T.
Ernest arrived from Atlanta, Ca, and
identified the touring car brought
here by the escaped convict, Leonard
Fitzgibbons, and the woman who ac-
companied him.
AS was noted in these colums last
week Fitzgibbons was returned to the
Georgia penitentiary authorities and
he is now back at work in the chain
gang. The woman who passed as his
wife under the assumed name of Mrs.
L. w. Pimento, now proves to be a
woman from Atlanta known as Rilla
Wells. Last week she received let
ter from Fitzgibbons telling her that
he was an escaped convict. that he
is again back in the penitentiary and
asking her to forgive him for deceiv-
ing her.
1t now transpires that Fitzgibbons
had represented himself as a car re-
pair man out of job and he had
been allowed to stop at the home of

lanta. Fitzgibbons had been hang
ing around the shop of Boggs for
about two weeks when he took =.
notion to leave. He stole the car be-
longing to Boggs, also some tools
from Boggs' shop and left. By some
means he-sucured the license number
from an Indiana car and put it on the
Boggs car. In the course of his trav-
els he seemed to steal practically
everything that came to his hand. In
the Boggs car he had about SIS or
$50 worth of tools that Boggs could
not identify and they are being held
by tn Getty authorities for costs of
the case against Fitzgibbons.
Boggs replevined the car and such
of the tools as he could identify. He
was accompanied by one of his work
men, ]. T. Ernest. They left for their
home in Atlanta in the car yesterday.
The woman, Rilla Wells, is still in
Jail here but as it now seems she had
little or nothing to do with the thefts
and was to some extent victim of
rather than an accom-
plice. there may be some way arrang-
ed for releasing her within short
time.
