WHITEWASH MOVE
MADE IN RAID CASE
Conflicting Affidavits by
Woman Are Reported
After Quiz.

Shortly after signing an affidavit
charging that deputy sheriffs held
her and her SONS prisoners in their
own home more than twenty-eight
hours, Mrs. John w. Darnell of La
fayette Heights, is alleged to have
given deputies a deposition deny
ing the contents of the affidavit and
lauding them for their courtesy.
This was revealed today, after
Sheriff Charles CBuck) Sumner in
dicated mis- men were absolVed of
any blame. He opened a quiz into
the situation after Mrs. Darnelr,
her husband, who is facing liquor
law violation charge, and his coun-
sci, Lawrence Shaw, hurled the i'm
prisonment charges.
Deputies Saturday afternoon adj
mittec. to The Times that they had
worked in shifts at the house and
had refused to permit the woman
and her sons to leave. Another
woman and her husband, who came
to visit the Darnells, also were held
several hours, Mrs. Darnell charged.
Detention Is Charged
Darnell was sought after p. m.
Thursday when five deputies raided
the house and confiscated 800
gallon still and a quantity of liquor.
Mrs. Darnell charged that she
was kept in the house until s p. m.
Friday. Her husband had sur
rendered at p. m. Friday. .
Sumner today read copy of the
affidavit Mrs. Darnell made Sat-
urday afternoon before witnesses,
including notary public.
This Darnell woman has made
deposition to deputy sheriffs say
ing that all that is in the affidavit
is untrue" Sumner said.
Statement Given Patrol
Sumner said the road patrol Of
flee obtained the statement. They
brought her to the office late Sat
urday, he said Asked for a copy
that might be published, Summer
said he didn't need any public
ity."
Mrs. Darnell Saturday showed a
Times reporter a note supposed to
have been written by a deputy
sheriff in which he advised her to
seek another attorney for her hus-
band, and named another attor-
ney.
Questioned if he knew of the ex-
istence of the alleged note, Sumner
said he did not.
He also denied that soliciting for
attorneys for deputy sheriffs was
permitted.
