Arrested Fourth Time For
Driving While Drunk

Driving While Drunk
Usually two arrests for drivine
cars while under the influence ol
liquor, serves as a lesson for a ma
jority of the people, but not so in
the case of Howard F. Butler, Little
Creek District, who now is in the
Sussex County Jail for his fourth Of
Tense. Butler, placed under arrest on
Monday by Constable Ralph Will
liams, of Delmar, was given a hear
ing before Magistrate William H..
AydelOtte, of Delmar, and committed
to the jail here for thirty days and
fined 5000, as provided by the stat
ute. If he fails to pay the fine an
additional sixty days is provided,
making his total Imprisonment nine
ty days. 1t is likely that. he will
serve the 80 days.
Charged With Wife Beating
William L. Adkins, of the Delmar
section, today finds himself in a
heap of trouble. Arrested on a
charge of operating an automobile
while under the influence of liquor,
Magistrate William H. AydelOtte, of
Delmar, committed him to the Sus-
sex county jail here for 30 days in
default of payment of a fine of 500
and costs. On top of that he was
charged with driving without a IL
cense and was given an additional |
ten days when unable to pay an ad- /
fine of $40 and costs. Then
to cap the climax, his wife, Mrs.
Florence L. Adkins, had him held in /
$4,000 bail for the June term of
Court of General Sessions on a
charge of wife beating. If convicted
Jf the wife-beating charge, he may
face a prison sentence and the
whipping post. Much will depend ON
he severity of the case and the len
ency of the court.
Convicted on two counts, with a
hird hanging over him, Adkins will
laVe the next thirteen days, before
,OuTt cOnvenes. to reflect and come
O a realization of the fact that over
ndulgene in lower Delaware {
hOOch" is not what it is cracked
lp to be. {
