JP Says Stubs Not Man In Navy Wifes Bed
Stubbs Freed;
Gold Teeth
Crucial In
Ups Decision

The case against William Stubs
was dismissed yesterday by Peace
Justice Roy Hamlin on the basis
of false Identification by the Navy
wife who said Stubs was the man
who was in her bed last Wednes-
day morning.
Hamlin announced his decision at
ITO pm. after a dramatic two
hour hearing, jam-packed with
friends of Willie Stubs who filled
every seat and peered in through
every window. When Hamlin an
nounced his decision the crowd of
$50 or more in the office and on
the street broke into cheers.
The Navy bride who had made
the seeusations broke into tears.
In the steaming hot office the
State, represented by Allan B.
Cleare, Jr. and Attorney j. Y. Por-
ter representing Stubs presented
their witnesses.
Cleare said that though Willie
Stubs is cleared, he, the County
Solicitor, does not consider the
case closed, and viii continue the
search for the offending man.
Crucial Gold Teeth
Hamlin said that the woman was
evidently "molested" by someone,
but not by Willie Stubs. Hamlin
said a deciding factor was that
the bride said nothing to the police
about the intruder having gold
teeth, until she saw Willie Stubs
on the street.
Dramatically ]. Y. Porter asked
Willie to show his teeth to Justice
Hamlin, following the brides
sworn statement that the man had
gold teeth. Willie showed teeth
which are not gold. merely edged
with gold.
Shoes Don't Fit
Another deciding factor was that
the blue seude shoes and brown
felt hat found on the porch outside
the brides apartment did not fit
Willie Stubs when he tried them
on at the hearing yesterday.
A Marjorie Moss who lives in
the same house with Stubs at S
Hutchinson lane was put on the
stand by ]. Y. Porter.
She testified that Willie Stubs
was in his own bed at 4 am. last
June 4. the day he was accused of
being in the Navy wife's bed.

Whitmarsh Appointed
As Temporary Engineer
For New Electric Plant
40 Meters
Installed In Ne,U
Nary Housing

The Utility Board Of the City
Electric System met last evening.
l.. w. Whitmarsh was appointed
as Temporary Chief Engineer of
the new electric steam plant.
Board members think that it is
essential that the future Chief
Engineer observe the final phases
of construction at the new plant
This will enable him to have a
more complete, technical know
ledge of conditions when operations
commence estimated to be some
time during October.
Mr.. Whitmarsh has been with the
City at its Diesel plant for years.
Previous to his present employ
ment, he acquired experience in
steam at the Naval Station. Utility
Board Members feel that he is
qualified for the appointment of
Chief Engineer but have made it
Temporary until he has an APP
portunity to demonstrate his ability
with the more modern equipment
Of the new steam plant.
Call For Bids
It was also decided to issue a
call for bids to furnish eight
months supply of Diesel oil :
1,S50,0O0 gallons. These will be
opened at the next meeting, June
nth.
Eight months supply of oil will
be over and beyond the needs of
the Electric Company If the new
plant opens on schedule. However,
II was pointed out that ii is neces-
sary TO keep the Diesel plant ready
for emergency operation and that
a supply of oil should always be
kept on hand.
Other Business
Most of the other matters hand
led were held over for further stu
dy.

cy.

bers felt that there was no negli-
gence involved but they recon-
mended referring the matter for
further study.
A QUESTION Of the issuance of
electrical permits and the inspec-
ton of work completed was
brought up. The majority present

was made and the matter was re-
