Once Sentenced 10 Die,
Man Is Freed in Virqinia

BY The Associated Press.
RICHMOND, June 18.-Samuel
Legions, for whom death waited
down at the end of a corridor in
the State penitentiary for more than
year. walked out of the prison
gates yesterday in high hopes of be-
ing taken into the Army.
The 23-year-old Berryville colored
man, sentenced to electrocution ear
ly in 1912 on conviction of assaulting
a white woman, wore the customary
new suit given prisoners when he
stepped into freedom with an attor-
ney at 3 pm. His immediate plans,
Prison Superintendent Frank Smyth
said, were to seek immediate induc-
ton in the Army for which appar-
emily he is eligible now that the
criminal blot has been removed.
Legion's conviction by the LOU
doun County Circuit Court was re-
versed by the State Supreme Court
OF Appeals and remanded to the
Circuit Court for further proceed
ings." The charges were dropped
against him, however, through entry
OF a nolle prosequi by Common
wealth's Attorney Charles Harrison
earlier this week.
Justice George Browning's opin-
ion reversing the trial court held
that feeble efforts at resistance by
the woman and her husband and
other circumstances were 80 con-
trary to human experience and so
inherently incredible as to be to-
tally insufficient to justify the ver-
dict Of guilty beyond a reasonable
! doubt"

Anne Arundel Man
Seeks Injunction
On Trailer Licenses
Says Law Provides for
Double Toxution and
Is Unconstitutional
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, June 18.-Anne
Arundel County commissioners and
other off1cials have until Tuesday to
snow cause why an Injunction
should not be granted restraining
them from enforcing a trailer license
law enacted by the 1943 General
Assembly.
James Matthew English, resident
OF trailer at Rock Creek, filed a
petition for the injunction in which
he alleged the new law, which be-
came effective June /, was unconsti-
tutional. He asserted it provided for
double taxation in that State taxes
already have been levied on trailers.
His petition, on file in Circuit
Court here, also declared the law
was discriminatory, arbitrary and
illegal.
The license law, which levies a
fee of $50 year against trailers,
provides that no trailer shall be used
as a dwelling place after June is
three days ago-without a license
from the county court clerk.
The tenant or lessee of the trailer
would be held primarily responsible
for obtaining the license, but the
owner OF the land on which the
trailer stands is made responsible for
reporting any violation exceeding
five days.
Violations are made punishable by
fine OF $25, with each day on which
a trailer goes unlicensed regarded
as separate violation.
Mr.. English declared in his bill of
complaint that hfs trailer was IL
censed by the State, that he paid
county personal property taxes on
it and he asserted the license statute
was not regulatory but merely a
revenue-raising act.
He also contended a trailer is a
home and not a business or profess
sion, and therefore said it may be
taxed only by the State and its po-
litical subdivisions as personal prop
erty.

Methodist Editor
Suggests Women
LAS Supply Pastors
By the Associated Press.

RICHMOND. Va, June .ls. - A
suggestion that Virginia Methodist
churches have women as supply
pastors to take the place of clergy
men who have become Army and
Navy chaplains is made in the cur
rent issue of the Virginia Methodist
Advocate.
THE shortage of ministers in the
Virginia Conference is becoming
more pronounced and doubtless will
become acute before the war is
over" DR.. George w. Reamy, the
editor, wrote.
Would it not be practicable to
ask our colleges and seminaries to
provide special three or six months
courses to help equip some of our
fine young ladies to do supply work
for the duration?"
DR.. Reamy said he was not sug-
gesting superficial training for the
ministry" but merely a streamlined
course for women who will be ex-
pected to give up their work when
the chaplains return from war.
