PARENTS HELD
GIRL PRISONER
Welfare Officer, D Deputy
Sheriff Release Woman
From Dirty Room

ASHEVILLE, Aug. g. up A
hearing On a writ of habeas corpus
will be held here tomorrow in the
case of Annie Caldwell, 25-year-old
woman who was removed by off
GERS yesterday from a dark, dirty
room in her parents weather
beaten cabin. II miles from Mar
shall.
The writ was obtained by DR..
w. A. Sans, Madison county
health officer, who said that the
woman was mentally incompetent
and had been kept a virtual pris-
oner by her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Will Caldwell, for almost six years.
Judge Zeb V. Nettles, who is
sued the writ, said today that the
next move in the case probably
would be to commit the woman to
a state institution. He explained
that the habeas corpus proceed
ings merely permitted the county
welfare board to inquire into the
case.
DR.. Sans said the woman had
been confined in a crude room
fashioned of rough boards on the
end of a porch of the Caldwell's
one-room half-log house. He said
she was suffering from advanced
malnutrition and was unable to
stand, probably because of an al
most total lack of exercise and
sunshine.
A party OF deputy sheriffs and
DR.. Sans removed the woman
yesterday to a private sanatarium
near Asheville. They said they
found her in a tiny room equipped
with only a board bed covered
with leaves, there were no win
dows in the room.
DIR. Sans said she had been a
patient at a state institution for
several months about six years
ago, but that she had been taken
nome by her father.

A dozen wears before the begin
ming of the 10Th century, more
over, Wilmington was the beget-
ting ground of an organization
known down through time as the
ITALIAN association.
Its origin dates back to 1888,
the ITALIAN association is acknow-
lodged to be the oldest Little
Theater group in America.
With the aid of such biblio-
graphy as is available, this series
will undertake in some measure
to re-narrate historical high-lights
of the ITALIAN societies as they
functioned down the pathway OF
the years.
After their organization in 1888,
the Italians some years later
opened their own theater on the
lower floor of what was then Innes
academy. They had taken over
this interior under the terms Of a
perpetual lease.
Here the Italians produced both
classical and currently popular
plays until the municipal autho-
rites Of that day, deciding to erect
a town hall on the site of the acad-
envy, purchased the building.
The Italians received half OF
the purchase price, and ITALIAN
hall was later erected.
The cornerstone of ITALIAN hall
was laid two days after Christmas.
1855. James F. Post, who designed
the Bellamy mansion at Fifth and
Market streets, was the architect.
The building has been remarked
to be the most perfect theater of
the Greek Revival architecture in
the south, a type of architecture
!o~opularized by Thomas Jefferson.
The famous French Opera house
in New Orleans, destroyed by fire,
was Of the same period.
Two years later, OF December 2,
1887, the theater was opened by
the Italians with the performance
of a musical extravaganza entitled
1.-THE Invisible Prince" followed
by a farce called "Box and Cox"

GO ON TRIAL
Seven Are Charged With
Kidnapping Y Young
Negro Last May

JACKSON N. C. Aug. 3-P-

minal assault upon & young white
married woman at nearby Rich
Square, fled the mobsters and lat
er surrendered to officers.
The Negro, a Rich Square saw
mill worker, also is scheduled for
trial this week.
Solicitor Ernest Tyler, who made
a vain effort to save Bush from
expected mob action, said he
would ask the grand jury for true
bills in both cases tomorrow. He
indicated, however, that special
exercises in honor of the late Gen.
Matt w. Ransom, civil war hero
and U. S. senator, would prevent
his going 10 the grand jury before
early afternoon.
U. S. Senator William B. UNI
stead (D-NC) is scheduled to
speak at the exercises at which
a portrait Of Gen. Ransom will
be presented Northampton coun-
ty.
The white men, all residents of
Rich Square, are named on three
different charges, each of which
carries a maximum penalty of Is
years Imprisonment. The charges
are: l. Kidnapping; 2. Conspiracy
to break and enter a jail with in
tent to injure or kill Bush; and 3.
Breaking and entering a Jail with
intent to injure or kill Bush.
The seven accused men are Rob-
ert Vann, Russell Bryant, Glenn
