ley's clothes were stained with it.
A woman had then come to the door
and Pinkham had sent her after the
otner deputy. Cole and another came
IN together and although Washau
wanted to wash at the sink they would
not let him, and finally when one of
them was holding him on each side.
Harry Pinkham had hit her husband
again in the face.
She testified further that a man had
come into the house during the time
that Pinkham was beating her hus-
band" and her son had quickly given
him the revolver which Pinkham had
used, as he was afraid that he might
shoot Washau
On crosS-examination Mrs. Washau
said that she did not say anything to
her husband when Pinkham was at the
door.
Alec Hood said that he had been call
ed to the house by Washau's boy and
when he got there Moses and Pinkham
were there. Pinkham had said that he
was going out as theyehad got their
man and had cautioned Moses to watch
MIN closely. Moses had said that so

hand and Pinkham put it i'm his pocket
They then started to put the handouts
on Washau, but he had asked to be al
lowed to wash his face. This was re-.

walter Lanslly had seen a crowd in
front of the house and upon entering
saw Moses, Cole, Pinkham and the re-
Spondent Washau was covered with
blood, and his nose and mouth were
bleeding. Washau had indicated a de-
sire to wash and had been refused per-
mission. Then Pinkham had struck
him in the face.
William Anger stated that he was
going by the house when the Washau
boy came hurriedly out and gave him
the gun. He walked up the street a
way and threw it under a piazza. Then
Cole arrested him and took him into
the house. There he saw Harry Pink
ham hit the respondent.
Pinkham was called back by the
state in rebuttal and denied that he
mad ever seen a water-glass there or
that he had asked a woman to go for
the other deputy.
The case was then argued by the op-
posing attorneys and after the charge

After celebrating about two hours,

After celebrating about two hours,
the jury at the Kennebec County
superior court returned verdict
about 5.45 Friday evening of guilty
of assault with a dangerous weapon"
in the case of Stanley Washau Of
Waterville, indicted by the grand jury
on a charge of assault with intent
to kill. The assault was committed
upon the person of Harry Pinkham OF
Windsor, a deputy sheriff, when he
attempted to arrest the respondent
on the first day of December. last.
County Attorney Frank e. Southland
conducted the case for the State. and
the respondent was represented by
Attorney Arthur J. Crafty of Water
Vile and Attorney B. r. Maher of
Augusta. Sentence was deferred.
Deputy Pinkham Testifies
Deputy Sheriff Harry Pinkham, the
victim of the alleged assault testified
that he lad known Washau for about
a yeav and half and they had got to
a point where they called each other
by their first names. On Sunday,
November 20, search had been made
at the Washau home and a quantity
of liquor had been found. Mr.. Washau
was told to report Tuesday at Court
but was not arrested at the time as
his wife was away and there were
several young children in the house
to be looked after.
On Tuesday Washau did not appear
and Pinkham and Deputy Moses went
to the house after him. Washau ask
ed what kind of sentence he would
be given and was told that the deputy
did not know. The respondent said
that he would not appeal if it were
not too heavy and Pinkham told him
that in that case he should take his
clothes with him. Washau according
ly started to pack his clothes but in
the process he disappeared and a
search of the house showed that he
had escaped.
Later in the afternoon, receiving
word that he was in the house again,
Deputy Sheriffs Cole and Pinkham
went to the place. While Cole was
watching a back window to see that
he did not escape that way Pinkham
went to the front door. He tried the
door and finding that 1t would not
open. he knocked. Mrs. Washau came
to the door and looked through the
glass. Seeing who it was she turned
around and apparently spoke to some
one behind her. Pinkham then de-
manded that she open the door and
she again apparently spoke to some
one behind her.
Returned for Gun
The Deputy then put his shoulder
to the door and forced it. Passing
down a short entryway he saw Wa
shau there with an axe in his hand.
He looked like crazy man according
! to the witness. Pinkham having no
weapon with him returned to his au-
! tomobile and secured gun which he
had there. While doing so he watched

mouth and nose. He looked as If he
had been in a scrap" He had been
ugly when they were putting the
cuffs on him.
In answer to question by Attor-
ney Maher who wanted to know why
he had signed his return on the war
rant as having made the arrest and
that Pinkham had assisted, the wit
ness drew laugh when he said with
a smile, HE did most of the assist
ing, / guess, but I put the handouts
! or. him."
The witness declared that he could
not smell any liquor on Washau's
breath.
Attorney Maher asked "Have you
told all you know about this case?"
and to this the deputy responded,
"All but about the gum"
Stole Officers Revolver
Interested, the attorney continued
the line of questioning and brought
out the fact that the deputy from his
position behind the house had seen a
man running down Ticonic street
with a revolver in his hand, that he
had called to him to stop and that

ONLY 80 MILES
TORALEIGH NOW
BY SHORT ROUTE
Leaving Chapel Hill by Old Ra-
leigh Road, You Reach
Pavement at Nelson
PASS THRU LOVES GROVE

1t is now only 80 miles from
Chapel Hill to Raleigh-if you
go the shortest way.
Two citizens of Chapel Hill
motored to the capital by this
short cut-by Evergreen Farm,
loves Grove and Nelson--one
day last week, and upon their
return, at the request Of the
editor, gave a report upon the
road.
An important point is that,
when this trip was made, there
had been no considerable rain
for several days. The weather
conditions were ideal.
This is the way you go: You
leave Chapel Hill by the old Ra-
leigh road, by the cemetery. A
bout two miles out, after pass
ing Ad Dukes place, turn to the
left, and, following the New
Hope Valley road, proceed to
Evergreen Farm, approximate
ly six miles from Chapel Hill.
Here veer off to the right and
go along the road built two or
three years ago to give passage
to the busses carrying children
to and from the loves Grove
school. A seven-mile ride from
Evergreen Farm through
loves Grove takes you to Mel
son on the Durham-to-Raleigh
paved highway. From there it
is seventeen miles to Raleigh.
In good weather the dirt sur
face of the road from here to
Nelson, thirteen miles, allows
smooth and rapid travel. OF
course it is not so perfect a sur
face as the pavement between
Nelson and Raleigh; on the
other hand, the traffic on these
thirteen miles is very light and
so there is practically never any
delay caused by other vehicles
than your own.

Fire Company Barbecue
Feast Success, Despite Cancella
tiOn of Ball Game

With Chief Foister in COM
mand, the fire company of
Chapel Hill had it's annual bar
becue Tuesday afternoon in the
New Hope creek valley near
the midway bridge on the Dur
ham road.
A baseball game as an appe-
tizer for the feast had been
planned, but the men who
were to make up the teams
Moody Durham, Jack Merritt,
George Sparrow, Bud Perry,
and others-went, instead to
the Carolina State college
match on Emerson Field. So,
from half past four to half past
six, Mr.. Foister and a half
dozen or so faithful adherents
sat around on the grass and
watched Foy Baker roast the
pig and stir the Brunswick
stew. The majority Of the
company came from Emerson
Field just in time to eat.
This was not an affair where
fashionable dress prevailed.
Hence Jack Merritt caused
something of a sensation when
he appeared in a new suit, a
blue tie with red polka dots,
and a fawn-colored hat jauntily
turned up on one side.
The municipal government
was present in the persons of
Town Manager Knox and DR..
Nathan. Chief of Police Feath-
erstone and Officers Williams
and Sloan were there, and Chief
of Police Dobie Of Durham. The
University was represented by
j. S. Bennett, the financial com
munity by M. f. Hogan, and
mercantile interests. by Clar-
ence Pickard, Clyde Andrews,
and Carl Durham.
