 Residents of Berlin have raised the query, Why have we a deputy court judge in town if he is not al- lowed to sit on any cases" The question is an important one, they observe, and should be settled onco and for all.
 Last Tuesday night Judge Gris- wold was ill Several cases were scheduled and there were many wit nesses assembled for the session But, since the judge was ill there was nc session. That was a time for the appearance of the deputy judge say the savants. His appearance was not made.
 Ernest w. Midrum is the deputy judge for Berlin and was appointed at one of the sessions of the present legislature. This is his third appoint, ment and he has never served, nor even qualified for the position. lt ls a custom in some towns to have a portion of the salary of the judge 20 to the deputy judge. In Berlin the deputy judge gets nothing.
 Mir, NIildrum is inclined to believe that the question is not important but several other citizens are Of different opinion. They think MT Mildrum should he given 2 chance Practically the only time residents Know that there is a deputy judge 1T Berlin. is when the announcement oi the legislative appointments is made public.
 The duty of the deputy judge is to take the place of the regula, fudge, when the latter is ill or wher ,he latter has other business or 1! otherwise prevented from being pres ent at court.

Clarence Lawson Suspected of Re-
cent Crime Near Winchester

Clarence Lawson, "A years old, of
near Waynesboro, Va, farmer, was
arrested at his home near Waynes-
boro, and taken to Martinsburg,
charged with having killed Robert
Ford, 10 years old. on June g., on
the state highway between Martins
burg and Winchester.
Authorities first believed Ford had
been killed by an automobile, but
when reports said he had a compan-
ion the night he was found dead, and
this companion failed to show up
to explain the tragedy. suspicion was
aroused and hunt started.
Lawson has been positively iden-
titled by G. Y. Stratton, a travelling
salesman, as the companion of Ford,
both of whom he had in his automo-
bile near Harrisonburg, Va, the
morning before Ford's body was
found Stratton said he dropped
them because Lawson talked too
much
Lawson denies any knowledge of
the crime, saying he did not know
Ford, was not with him, and that he
was not away from his home the
night in question.

the stick. Mr.. Shipe mailed" him
to the road, seized him with his wire
