Fatal Battle Result
OF 10-Year-OId drudge

GORDONSV1LLE, Va, May 10.
The battle in which three were
killed and five wounded here Fri.
day really had its beginning 10
years ago.
William wales, 65-year-old Ne
gro, who shot down Sheriff viii
liam B. Young and then, with his
sister, Cora, stood off huge posse
which surrounded their dwelling,
once owned part of the land that is
now Maplewood Cemetery. In 1926
his land was condemned for GENE
terry purposes, although he fought
the case bitterly.
Afterward, as he brooded over
what he often called the injustice
done him, he became increasingly
eccentric. He turned for a hobby
to collecting arms and filled his
home with guns and ammunition.
Wales resentment over the loss
Of his land increased until it as
Sumed the proportions Of a mania.
He became known in the neighbor-
hood as half crazy" although
harmless until recently, and lately
he appeared to be under the delu-
sion the land still was his.
That is why, when he saw
laborers employed by Mrs. George
linn erecting a monument in that
part Of the cemetery, he became
Infatuated and drove them off. It
was for this reason that he threat
ened Mrs. linn with a gun when
she went to the spot to investi-
gate.
When Sheriff Young went to
Wales home to serve a warrant
for a lunacy commission, he did
so after Mrs. linn had reported
the incident to the sheriff's office.
Young and his aides were told by
Cora Wales:
william amt done nothing
wrong"
They returned later, reinforced
by 10 State troopers and a force
of deputies, and found Wales and
his sister had barricaded them
selves in the house.
It was then that Wales opened
fire.

year-old boy who is believed to have
run away from home to study for the
priesthood and his 11-year-old brother
were the objects of widespread po-
lice hunt today.
They are Joseph H Melia, jr., and
Edgar Melia, sons of an official Of a
Washington automotive concern, who
told Montgomery County police yes
terday that the boys have been miss
ing since Friday
Melia told officers he believed the
boys were on their way to st. Fidelis
Seminary at Butler, Pa, explaining
that his elder son Joseph has sought
his parents permission to attend the
school for some time.
The father said he and his wife
had attempted to dissuade the boy not
to enter the study of priesthood until
he graduates next year from Takoma-
Silver Spring Junior High School, but
said their arguments could not sway
the boy.
He said he could not understand the
disappearance of 11-year-old Edgar
unless Joseph took him along for
company. They are constant COM
panions and are seldom separated,
Melia declared. Edgar is a student
at Glenmont Elementary School.
