spite Identification as Gun
Duel Participant.

Despite positive declaration by a
police sergeant that Ray B. Colwell.

him in a gun battle on May %,
1928. Colwell was freed today by
Judge James A. Collins in criminal
court on charges of auto bandltry
and assault with intent to kill.
ColWeus liberation followed an
hour Of arguments by both state and
defense. His trial without jury.
vas held several months ago and
today's hearing was for the purpose
of arguing the merits Of the case be-
fore Judge Collins.
Paul Rhoadarmer, chief deputy
prosecutor. pointed out Sergeant
Charles Russell had identified Col
well IS one of the men whom he
and Sergeant R. J. Taylor fought
the battle with near a garage in the
rear Of 1856 Central avenue.
Man Wounded in Hand

Of the car. in the right hand during
the fight.
Rhoadarmer pointed out Sergeant
Taylor also identified Colwell as one
of the men who drove up in car
and we're alleged to have been seek
ing to take a stolen car out of a
garage.
Attorneys for Colwel1 cited his
testimony he was shot in the hand

while hunting chicken thieves near
his ONE. They also cited testimony
his home. They also cited testimony
he was AT home the night of the
alleged gun battle.
Companion in Prison

a companion Of Colwell the night of
the revolver duel, is now serving

This man Criner instituted the
proceedings in this case against the
defendant. He has never testified
In court against him There's not
4 scintilla Of evidence against Col
well. If I found him guilty I'd have
IN guess at it and. so far, this court
has never decided a case by guess
ing" averred Judge Collins as he
discharged ColWel.
Attorneys for the state admitted
Griner had made a statement i'm
plicating Colwen in the gun battle
but averred he later denied making
the statement and as a consequence
was never used as a witness against
ColUell.

raised here at all
The law does not name any con-

the investigation of rumors affecting
the character of bishop, whether

LYNCHBURG, Va, July 26.-
Charges that the board Of temper
ance and social service of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
has been guilty Of two trespasses ON
the rights of that church, are con-
tanned in 4 letter DR.. Rembert c.
Smith. Methodist minister of Wash

passes we're lending of money of the
board for use in the recent political
campaign and the vote of confidence
taken BY the board in connection
with r'Imors regarding stock market
activities of Bishop James Can
non Jr.
Smith charged the Republican

to aid in the election Of Herbert
Hoover as President.
Money Was Returned
TT has been asserted that this
money was speedily returned to the
treasury of the board, it was stated
in the letter. THE income of the

assessment levied on the church by
the general conference and no &C
ton of the general conference war
rants the use of it for the help of
any political party or candidate and
to lend or Use it for such purposes
is in violation of the laws of the

herent rights of the members of the
church who give money only for the
purposes specified by the general
conference.
Bishop Cannon admitted to the
writer that the money was thus lent,

BEDTIME STORIES BY y r aGss1f,

in. Danny's little heart seemed to skip
a beat He turned around for there
was room in that tunnel for him to
turn, and he started back. He could
hear some one coming behind him
ITS Miner" thought Danny. 1T can't
be anybody else. T must have walked
up. My, wish I could get out of here |!
I don't like being SO far down in the
ground
1t was Miner who was coming after
Danny. Danny was mistaken in think
ing that Miner had been asleep. Miner
the Mole Is not one of the sleepers. He
simply had carried his tunnels down
deeper, so as to be below the frost. The
earthworms had gone way down there
SO as to get below frost, and it was In
pursuit of these, on which he lived,
that Miner had driven his tunnels this
way and that so far underground.
If Danny had looked back and seen
anything, he would have been sur
prised Meadow Mouse. He would have
found Miner the Mole running backward
after him. Yes. sir, that is what he
would have found. You See that tun-
mel wasn't big enough for Miner to turn
around in, so the only thing he could
do was to back up until he reached a
place where he could turn around. And
Miner can back surprisingly fast in one
of those tunnels of his. Have you ever
seen an electric engine? You know 1t
runs either way. 1t looks alike at both
ends. Miner doesn't look alike at both
ends, but he runs either way. That Is
why that wonderful thick fur Of his
is SO different from the fur of most
other animals. You know you can
smooth it either way. That is to say
1t will lie down either way. 1t has to
be that way. or he couldn't back up
in a hurry, for it would be most un-
comfortable to be brushing his fur the
wrong way. But as long as there isn't
any wrong way. he Is all right.
It wasn't until he reached a place
where another tunnel branched off that
Miner had chance to turn around.
Then he started after Danny head first,
instead Of tail first Miner doesn't look
as If he could move very fast but he
can down there underground move a
great deal faster than you would think.
So Danny fed and the worst of it was
that he wasn't sure just where he was
going. The one thing he wanted was to
get back to the surface, but he was not
well enough acquainted with those deep
tunnels to be sure that he was taking
the right one
