LURAY, Va, Sept. 4.-Settle-
ment of the question whether an
attempted murder charge in Vir-
ginia had precedence over a pro-
hibitiCn law charge in Pennsyl-
vania-a legal problem that has
been in the limelight between
Pennsylvania and Virginia for two
weeks-today suddenly ended and
Sheriff Lucas of this county
started for Carlisle, Pa, to bring
Lester Painter to the Luray Jail.
Painter is wanted here for the
attempted murder of his neighbor,
Rufus Good, eight miles south
of Luray, on June 20. He was ar
rested in Pennsylvania and there
followed a legal battle as to
whether Virginia had precedence
over Pennsylvania in the matter
of a trial.
Finally Governor Pinchot en-
tered the picture, deciding that
as the Virginia charge against
Painter was the more serious
this State should have him.
