interested in her, but when her
gossip causes Agnes Herford to lose

OF innocence But many Americans and outlanders
have already gone far beyond the realm OF presump-
ton; they are heatedly averring. In spite OF a com
plete lack OF positive Information that the defendants
are the victims OF a murdercus frame-up and should
be discharged forthwith. And there are some. equal
ly ignorant OF the facts, who holly demand the con-
viction Of execution Of the defendants.
In the absence Of information Uo say nothing Of
PROOF it is superIative folly to say that these de-
PENDANTS are innocent OF wrongdoing and the victims
OF q murderous conspiracy. In the absence Of posi-
tive proof 1t is positively criminal to brand these men
as guilty and demand their lives as q forfeit. Nor Is
it any part Of good citizenship to charge that the
North Carolina courts are the servfle tools Of MUIR
derous passion incapable Of dealing in q program 81
cused citizens and fully acquiescent nj a program Of
willful murder disguised as legal process. All in I'll.
it is infinitely better for those who lack all direct n
formation to maintain q reasonable silence until the
truth Is fully known.
Admittedly there is warrant FOR radical uneasiness
when the Mooney case in California Is remembered.
Very few informed people have any doubt that
Mooney was railroaded by perjured testimony into
the penitentiary and is kept in durance in violation
OF constitutional principle and common decency. The
Mooney case explains the eagerneSS WIFI WHICH YER
tain radicals demand the discharge Of the Gastonia
prisoners. On the other hand, though, Is the case Of
the Mcnamara brothers in Los Angeles. Radicals de-
nounced their arrest and trial and threatened revolu-
tion In the event those innocent men were punished.
But the radical cohorts disintegrated when The Nc
Namaras admitted their guilt and gladly accepted hfe
Imprisonment.
III those Gastonia defendants are innocent, They
should be acquitted. regardless OF their social rank
and nn1ftiraI rhfloscphv But IL the proof establishes
their guilt. they should be punished. even though The

Good NewsT This phrase has been a
very familiar one for the past year. II Is
the title of the most popular musical show
that has struck Broadway within the
memory of the present generation of
theatre goers. All except those who are
blind have read about it in the papers and
magazines, and all but the deaf have heard
about it from friends who have seen the
show in New York, or they have heard the
music on the radio or phonOgraph.
Never in the history of the stage has
any musical comedy received such I'M
bounded praise from the critics as has
been awarded Good News" Good News"
will be the attraction at Polls Theatre.
Washington, for the week beginning Sun
day evening, March 3lst. Ii personifies
speed, pep, American youth and exuber-
ance of spirit. There is lively, snappy
action from the rise of the curtain to the
final line. Its fun is hearty and abundant
and its singing and dancing is in class
of its own.
The locale of the story of Good News" is.
as has been intimated, the campus of
small town college where the young idea
of both sexes are taught. and when the
play begins the college is in the throes of
anguish preceding the big football game.
Things begin to happen and happen fast
and furious. Bobby Connolly. most ex-
pert of stage directors. who has a number
of big shows to his credit, arranged the
dancing numbers. When one remembers
that all the musical numbers in Good
News" are given to the accompaniment Of
George 0lsen's famous orchestra. little more
remains to be said. In the cast are Don
Lanning, John Grant, William Sully, An
thony Hughes, John Philbrick. Maurice OAR
cy, Evelyn Kinder Dorothy Fitz-Gibbons,
Dorothy Daw, Edwin Mchaels. Neil Collins,
William Russell, Lorothea James, Holly
Hall and Billie Sloane, and the chorus
of Fifty Flapper Freshies. The book and
lyrics of Good News" are by Lawrence
Schwab. B. G. DeSylvia and Lew Brown
and the music by Ray Henderson, and the
musical and dancing numbers were staged
by Bobby Connolly. Among the dozen
song hits in the piece are five which have
already swept the entire world-"The Var
sity Drag" Lucky In Love. Just Imag-
inc. Good News" and THE Best Things
In Life Are Free"

Rest in peace, thy work Is done.
You have gone where those who love you
Soon are coming, one by one.

Report OF The Grand Jury.

We, the Grand Jury in and for Mont
somery county, have the honor to repor
to the Court that we have carefully in
vestigated all the cases brought before US
thirty-three in number. and have found
twenty-seven presentments.
We have examined one hundred and
fifty witnesses, most Of whom were found
competent and willing to give evidence.
We regret that some of the witnesses,
especially those testfyine in liquor cases.
were found evasive and evidently not in
tent upon furnishing us with evidence
against liquor violatorS.
Our examination of the Jail showed
conditions to be as good as possible under
existing conditions. Those conditions will
be remedied when the proposed new jail
is constructed, which will doubtless con-
form to the latest requirements for penal
institutions.
Our examination of the Court House evil
dences the well-known condition of over
iiuNCNuutC opdSC uhu
protection for the valuable records of the
county. We commend the procedure al
ready taken for the construction of new
court house, which. when completed, will
relieve the conditions referred to.
We commend the States Attorney for
his unfailing courtesy and consideration in
advising the grand jury and for his prepa-
ration of the cases submitted.
