he thought the record Of the State

Campaign charges being hurled by
the Fusion party were branded as
q "blasphemous attack" not only
against the Montgomery County ad-
ministration. but against the county
itself as well. in an address by States
Attorney Stedman Prescott at the
Democratic rally here last night.
There Is absolutely nothing with
which they can substantiate their
accusations, yet hundreds of people
living In other communities read or
hear Of the charges and it gives the
county . black eye" Prescott de-
clared. Such accusations keep out
people who might be considering To-
eating In Montgomery. Property
values. As q result. suffer greatly"
Denies Wastefulness.
Prescott, the. Democrats leader,
chief campaign speaker and State
senatorial candidate, asserted that
"as long as the Democratic party ad-
ministers the affairs Of county gov
ernment you can rest assured you
are going to get just as many schools,
just as many roads and just as many
other public improvements as we find
1t possible to put in, and you may also
rest assured that Montgomery always
will be q clean. healthy and safe
place into which people may come
and raise their children"
The speaker denied Fusion charges
that the administration has been
wasteful and extravagant in handling
public funds or has paid exorbitant
prices for park land and public build
ing sites, and also scored other Fusion
charges. He said the suit recently
instituted against two county COM
missioners. now up for reelection, for

of the nature of the attacks being
made against the administration.

PROBE STIR JUR|ST
u. S, Judge Warns Against
Intimidation of Witnesses
in Virginia.
BY the Associated Press.

: HARRISONBURG Va, November
Z 2-Asserting that there appears to be
"a concerted effort to interfere" with
the Federal grand jury investigation
now in progress here. Judge John
Paul of the United States Court for
the Western District Of Virginia yes
terday cautioned two Franklin Coun-
ty officials and gave general warm
ing against interference.
Secrecy has shrouded the proceed
ings of the jury, which all this week
has been investigating alleged ma
tional revenue violations in Franklin
County. Va, which the Wickersham
report several years ago called 1.-The
wettest spot in the United States"
Judge Paurs remarks were made
yesterday after Joe Joplin of Rocky
Mount. Federal relief administrator
for Franklin County, had been cited
for contempt for alleged intimidation
Of a witness summoned before the
grand jury.
Claimed . Joke.
After hearing evidence the Judge
dismissed Joplin. but warned him that
If he had thought him guilty you
would have been given such q long
jail sentence that this case would be
, but memory when you got out"
Accused of telling Budd Saunders,
colored witness, that "if you go
over there and tell something, we'll
get you." Joplin testified he was jok-
ing with Saunders about his summons
to Harrisonburg. and had not made
the statement attributed to him. Two
workers in the relief ONCE said they
did not hear Joplin make the remark.
Sheriff c. c. Jamison of Franklin
County was brought before the court
after the Joplin case and told that
he could ntot serve a warrant on a
witness brought from Tennessee.
Sought Board Bill.
The warrant charged Joe Hodges.
the witness, with failing to pay q
board bill several years ago.
The court said he was not censur-
ing the sheriff for performing his
duty. but cited his action as one of

with the investigation. He entered q
court order prohibiting State officers
from serving warrants on witnesses
brought here by the Federal Govern
ment. He said Hodges would be pro-
tected until he crossed over the State
line.
Judge Paul said he also had re-
ceived communications from phy-
sicians asking that witnesses be ex-
cused because of illness, but giving no
indication as to the nature of their
ailments.
Remarkable Situation"
There is very remarkable situ-
alton here" he said. "The Federal
grand jury meets in regular term of
court and proceeds with an investi-
CATION Of some matter the nature of
which has not been disclosed. I'm
mediately, from various sources there
are efforts to impede and hinder in
vestigation and witnesses are scared.
THE United States district attor.
ney Is going to run down the source
Of these efforts and those guilty may
rest assured they will receive terms OF
the utmost severity"
The grand jurors accomplished lit
tie yesterday because one of its men,
bers was testifying as a witness In q
civil suit. He is expected to be called
in this case again today. and the
grand jury probably will be idle
again. although a dozen or more wit
nesses are waiting to testify.
