Smyrna times., 1934-11-29

He is native OF LelpS1c, son OF
the late DR.. Sanborn-
James w. Anthony finds that he,
or rather his Niagara grape vines
are more highly thought of than
is desirable. On going into his
vineyard last week to trim 1T and
gather the cuttings for propagat-
ing new plants, he found that
someone had ben ahead of him,
and cut his vines, securing wood
enough for about 1000 cuttings
Many of the vines were cut so
close as to leave no bearing wood
for next year. Mr.. Anthony says
the thief is certain to be found
out; that the plans for the legiti-
mate propagation of the Niagara
grape is so perfect that they can
not be grown anywhere without it
being known where they came
from and in what quantity.
Grand Jury Finds No Bill in
Greenspring Murder Case = The
Grand Jury of New Castle County
did not even find bills against eth
er Emory Blatcher or Emory
Brown, who were arrested on the
suspicion of killing Charles Bart
ley on the night of the 4th of July,
the latter being found on the rail
road the next day near Green
spring. The deed strongly pointed
to them from circumstances grow
ing out of a bad state of feeling
over a colored damsel of Clayton.
They, however, asserted their in
nocence, and there was no one to
press the suit against them and so
after over five months of incarcer-
alton in the New Castle Jail they
were liberated They were so glad
to get out that Blatcher forgot his
hat in his hurry to get off, and
walked all the way from New
Castle to the residence of Eugene
Crow, near twon, his former home,
bare headed. He gave a doleful
account of his prison fare and en-
joyed with gusto a "Sunnyside"
square meal.
