After Stafford and Roberts
Are Cleared.

Policeman Tom F. Stafford, acquitted
yesterday of aSsaulting Joe B. Roberts,
Washington Herald photographer, ap-
peaTed likely today as attorneys for
Roberts and the Herald studied the
case with a view to submitting a
transcript of testimony to Gov. John
Garland Pollard.
Stafford, charged with attacking
Roberts during the funeral of Mrs.
Agnes Boeing Ilsley, murdered Middle
burg, Va, sportsWoman, last Friday,
was eXonerated by court of three
simultaneously on charges brought by
Stafford of disturbing worship and re-
sisting arrest, also was cleared by the
court.
Calls Attack Outrageous"
Frank Ball, former Virginia State
Senator, who prosecuted Stafford and
defended Roberts, declared Stafford's
attack was outrageous" and said he
was Inundated by such a blot on
the record of the State of Virginia. "
He announced he would recommend
the case be pressed for further action
against the State policeman.
Wilton ]. Lambert, attorney for the
newspaper, said he was awaiting a
letter from Ball making recommended
tions as to the adVisability of further
action and, after a study of the
transcript. would decide what course
to follow"
The decision of the court followed
testimony by several witnesses for Rob-
erts that he had been struck from be-
hind and the admission of Stafford
that he had hit the photographer.
Resistance Charged.
In explaining the double acquittal,
the court declared Roberts was in q
way attempting to resist arrest, although
he might not have known he was under
arrest" Prosecution witnesses all agreed
Roberts was not resisting the officer,
and Stafford, taking the stand on his
own behalf, declared he had not ad-
vised the photographer he was under
arrest.
Roberts, who lives in Aurora Hills,
Va, testified he weighed only 1870
pounds and was wearing eyeglasses
when Stafford, weighing close to 200,
struck him from behind with his fist.
He said he dropped to the pavement
only half conscious and that Stafford
walked away, leaving him on the
ground. His testimony was corrobo-
rated by half dozen other witnesses,
reporters and photographers for other
Washington newspapers.

Posse Organized.
Two weeks ago word spread that the
Traders State Bank of Glen Elder had
been robbed of $4,000. County officers
of Beloit were "a miles away, busy on
other matters when a telephone call
telling of the hOld-up by four men was
received.
Within a few minutes officers of the
local vigilante organization were on the
trail of the robbers
In the meantime other telephone calls
revealed the whereabouts of the bandits
A citizens posse, heavily armed left
for the scene. Then came the news
that kincade and Wilson had traced
the robbers into blind trail.
All Four Captured.
Soon the corn fields in the vicinity
were being combed by the vigilantes. A
hand was seen sticking from a corn
shock. 1t belonged to Bob Lawson, one

During the intermission Mr. Her

which he stressed the terms ex-

the fund to be applied in whatever
ways might promote the art OF

tiles of the foundation Mr.. Putnam
pointed to the award Of prizes for
new compositions. Such awards
have been a biennial feature Of the
programs in the Library Of Con-
gress. The other form OF en-
couragement by which the founda-
tion is authorized to recognize no
table achievement at large, is the
medal which represents the familiar
eagle with Tyre, encircled by the in
sigma The Elizabeth Sprague Cool

Chamber Music" The reverse side
of the medal reads on this occasion:
Awarded by the Elizabeth Sprague
Coolidge Foundation to Walter Will

Library of Congress, Washington"
Mr.. Cobbett, an inventor by pro-
feSsion became a serious student OF
music in all its phases because OF
his great love for it. His interest,
however. was centered primeraly
upon Chamber Music. The result
of his culture in both its science
and art gave the world two stately
volumes of Encyclopaedia Survey OF
Chamber Music" embracing history
and exposition of the entire subject
to the study Of which he devoted
the past 25 years Of his life, after
retiring from business at the age
of 60 This is the second recogni-
ton Washington has accorded Mr..
Cobbett Together with Mrs.
Coolidge and Mr. de Cappet, he was
one of the three honorary members
of its Chamber Music Society.
Mr.. Putnam mentioned that the
choice of the day for this event falls
upon the anniversary Of the birth of
the founder, whose preference on

the medal was transmitted to Mr..
