STAFFORD TOLD
To Be MORE
CAREFUL
Photographer Also Reprimand-
ed BY Three Justices
! In Assault Case

MIDDLEBURG, Va. Jan. 81
"A newspaper photographer and
a State policeman were ac
quilted here late yesterday of
charges growing out of a melee

Herald photographer, was cleared
of charges of resisting arrest and
disturbing public worship
State Police T. F.. Stafford was
freed on a warrant charging him
with assault on Roberts.
Both Reprimanded
Both defendants were repri
manded by the three justices OF
the peace who presided. Stafford
was cautioned to be more careful
in making arrests in future, while
Roberts was said to be guilty of
both charges but was cleared be
cause he did not know he was un
der arrest.
Stafford only was tried but the
justices rendered a verdict in
both cases, holding that the
evidence was essentially the same
in each case.
Roberts and Stafford told con
flicting stories of the slugging.
The former said he had done
nothing to merit the assault,
while Stafford insisted that Rob
erts resisted arrest and attempted
to break away.
Didn't Mean to Hurt
The policeman also admitted
that Roberts and three other
photographers we're not under
arrest at the time, and that he
did not mean to hurt the man
Roberts was felled by vicious
rabbit punch" described by At,
torney Frank Ball, counsel for
Roberts, as very dangerous
blow.

witnesses for Roberts. Stafford'S
witnesses included the Rev. D
Campbell Mayors. pastor of the
Emmanuel Epi scopal Church,
from which the services were
held; Major Turner Wiltshire, and
E. c. Downs, a town councillor.

Applewhite, 30 year old di,
vOrcee, in Richmond on Tues

commandeered a taxicab, made
the driver bring him to Char
lottesville, and then fled into the
hill country southwest of here.
Yesterday he appeared at
Scottsville, small town in this
county, and posed as an officer
looking for the murderer of Mrs
Applewhite. After breakfasting
with the only policeman in the
town, he then disclosed his iden-
tity and consented to return to the
State capital. He is being held
there on a murder charge.
William Hamilton, driver OF the
taxicab, who was the first to
inform police here of the murder
and flight, said Newsome laughed
and iOked and had a good time
all of the way here" He also
stated Newsome made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to rob filling
station to obtain funds with
which to continue his flight.

do not think have ever read book so determined to

the TRUTH but the imagination of the author Obviously
the only point in telling stories which bette President
is to the creation of myth about him but the
author of such attempt ought to be peculiarly
puous he ought to be absolutely certain that every word
he writes is accurate that every fact be ascertaned
and every assertion proved. If you going to be
1conocast you must take not to be caught worship
ing idols yourself.
a Mean Worship
The author of this book worships strange and ugly
idol; his idea of the vulgar American. The ritual
OF his alteration consists largely of splitting the
image but ne is it's slave the less He describes to
us love affair between a pompous, elderly, unhappiy
married statesman and young and ardent girl; he not
only accepts the mixture of entmentay and crudeness
which marked the girls account of the affair." he
ebroiders it with detailed accounts conversations and
describes motives and emotions to which outsider

with dirty words and this is offered literal TRUTH

end that the authors imagination has been betrayng

The widow of Arnold Bennett has written pathetic
little book about the man she adored and from whom
about 10 years before his DEATH she parted. Mar

her common and her ability to be prompt all
occasions. He had announced that he would marry
at 40, and he married her at 40 And plunged at
into his finest work. ''The Old Wives Tale" One almost
suspects that he married her because she could tell him
many things about the French, and could learn from
her friends what Paris like in the War of 1870.
Patient CriseIda
She hardly to have known that he treated her
badly. He blamed her for his own mistakes and he
hardly took her with him when he went to meet

theater. He consulted her convenience not at all and
forced her to study his whms. And she to have
been always happy with him. Perhaps she was merely
