BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Sept. 8.-Just as the
crystal ball said, Fortune teller
Hazel Spurlock must either start
a 100-day Jail term or pay 500
fine.
She read the sentence in her
own crystal ball yesterday after
Recorders Judge Joseph 4. Gillis
practiced a bit of practical sooth-
saying.
For SIS. it was charged, Mrs
Spurlock'S clients all got black fu-
lures, but for an extra $40 they
got predictions of handsome hus-
bands and families and fine homes
Mrs. Spurlock's crystal ball was
on the judges desk. He fingered
it, gaZed into it for a while, then
handed it back to the defendant
asking what she saw.
1T says 500 or 100 days." gasped
Mrs. Spurlock.
$50 be it," said the judge.
He had lettered the sentence on
a piece of paper and pasted it on
the ball.

| collect firearms and supplies to arm
the Colonies against Britain
During the turbulent times that
followed, till the winning of the
war for independence, and the form
ing of the State Government, this
committee exercised all the pow
ers of government, executing laws,
trying and deciding causes. This
group of Citizens" responsible to
no one, and with no appeal to their
decisions, EXERCISED their almost
unlimited powers with such a fine
spirit of justice and moderation and
wisdom that each one deserves a
distinguished place in the history
of the County" 1t was as president
of this committee that John Stull
acted as the first Judge, in the area
now both Washington and Fred
erick County.
This committee was divided into
smaller groups or the various
hundreds" throughout the County
For Salisbury Hundred, were JON
athan Hager, Henry Snavely, and
Jacob Sellers; for Sharpsburg, Jo-
seph Chapline, Christian Orndorff;
for Upper Antietam, Jacob Funk,
Conrad Hogmire, Joseph Perry,
John Ingram; for Lower Antietam,
Thomas Hog, Henry Butler, Thomas
Cramphin; for Conococheague, Da-
vid Jones, Isaac Baker, Jacob Friend;
for Elizabeth, John Stull, Ohio Hol-
land Williams, John Swan, and John
Rench; and at Fort Frederick,
Ezelxial Cox. And from these, four
were chosen as delegates to the
Provincial convention at Annapolis;
Jacob Funk, Joseph Chapline, John
Stull, and Thomas Cramphin.
While in the capacity of Pres
ident of this powerful committee,
John Stull became so accustomed to
hearing and trying causes, and
many became so used to looking to
him for just decision, that it was
no wonder that he was chosen the
first judge after the formation of
the County. Remember that Wash
ington County was established only
very short time after the gain
ing of American Independence.
A second very important work of
this committee was the enlisting of
men, and preparing them to march
to Boston to aid in the fight which
was rapidly becoming the Fight for
Freedom. After the first open con-
fiict, a large number of volunteers
came eagerly to enlist to fight for
their Country Two companies were
soon raised from this area. Of the
first, the captain was Michael Cres-
sap, with lieutenants Thomas War
rem, Jos. Creassap, Jr., and Richard
Davis, Jr. OF the second company,
the captain was Thomas Price, and
lieutenant, Ohio Holland Williams.
The officers were selected by the
committee of observation.
These companies marched at once
for Boston. These men were men
