Fairfax Police Hunt
Man in Wife's Staying
Archie MuIIens, n,
Troi|ed by BIoodhounds

Fairfax County police today were
continuing their search for Archie
Mullens, 27. suspected of killing his
wife yesterday at her mothers home
about four miles west of Alexandria.
Mrs. Edna Crabtree Mullens,
mother of two children, was shot
and killed during what police de-
scribed as "a family souabble. +"
Bloodhounds from Lorton Reforma-
tory were put on the trail of the
husband who, police said, had fed
from the house screaming that he
would kill himself.
The hunt. which was called off at
midnight last night, was to be re-
sumed this morning in the vicinity
of Burke, about 10 miles from the
scene of the shooting, where Null
lens was reported last seen. Police
said bloodhounds will be used again.
According to police, Mullens, a
resident of Weynoke, Va, was en-
ployed as construction worker at
the Quartermaster Depot near Alex
andria. He had accompanied his
wife and two children, Albert, 7. and
Betty, 4. to his mother-in- laws

Original Grimes Golden Tree
Credited to Johnny AppIeseed
Famous Variety Of Fruit Was Discovered
Near WeIIsburg, W. Va, in 1905

tanned there two things: A supply
of apple seeds from the first known
cider press in that part of Penn
sylvania, the press of Frederick
Medsger, and a Swedenborg Bible
there, which shaped his whole later
life. John and Nathaniel filled bags
with the dried apple seeds, loaded
the bags into a canoe and came on
to Wellsburg via the Youghiogheny
and Ohio Rivers.
Chapman reached Wellsburg
about 1876. The seeding tree, which
bore such promising golden fruit.
later famous as Grimes Golden, first
came to public notice about 1906"
That would make the tree years
old in 1905, just about right for the
Grimes, which is an early maturing
tree.
Chapman stayed for a short time
at Wellsburg, then crossed the Ohio
and sowed seeds for a little nursery
near Steubenville - at Brilliant.
From there he went on to Washing
ton County, then up the Muskingum
and other streams to the Licking,
where. he >planted another little
nursery in 1901. Chapman did not
believe in grating; he selected the
best apples from seedlings, accord
ing to Mrs. Anna Long Unstott of
Mansfield, Ohio, who has followed
his trail over the central East, and
who is responsible for most of the
data cited.
This data, plus much more, indi-
Gates that Johnny Appleseed plant
ed the seed near Wellsburg, from
which grew one of the worlds great
apples. The identity of the man
Grimes who discovered the fine
seeding is still uncertain, but Mrs.
Unstott notes that a Grimes mar
ried Chapman in Washington
County, Ohio. Nathaniel Chapman,
Johns half-brother, settled in near
by Ohio.

MARTINSBURG. w. Va, June
23-Recent studies indicate that the
Grimes Golden, one of America s
famous varieties of apples, was origi-
mated by John Chapman, better
known as Johnny Appleseed. He
planted the seeds from which the
tree came, believes Carroll R. Miller
secretary of the West Virginia Horti-
cultural Society here.
The Grimes Golden was discovered
near Wellsburg, in West Virginia S
Northern Panhandle, about 1905
Johnny Appleseed stopped at Wells
burg (then Virginia., for several
months, when in his early 20s, en-
route westward from his Leominster
(Masso, home, with his hall brother
Nathaniel Chapman. The chronol-
ogy fits PERFECTLY, says Mr.. Miller.
The Grimes Golden, like all basic
varieties of American apples, sprang
from the seed Of apple trees found
on this continent. Many of the va
rieties were of no value, but occa-
sionally one sprang up, like the
Grimes Golden, and was propagated
through grating and budding.
Johnny Appleseed" Chapman
was born September 26, 1774, accord
ing to Leominster birth records; was
christened John, not Jonathan, as
usually stated. Records show that
his mother died when John was
2 years old; that his father was in
the Revolutionary Army until 1780
His family chronicle seems lost for
the next IL years, but at 18, in 1892
he and half brother Nathaniel
started West.
They were several years working
their way across Pennsylvania. They
stopped for some months in West.

Since they are enlisted men. the
trainees will be under military
