MAN FOUND
GUILTY OF
RAPING SISTER
Bv ISAAC JONES

DETROIT = (ANP) - Will
bert Driver was found guilty of
raping his 16-year-old sister last
week before Recorders Judge
Joseph A. ellis. He faces pos
sible Is years in Jackson prison.
The romance between Driver
and his sister, according to the
girls testimony, started in March
1851, shortly after she came here
to live with her brother to care
for his pregnant wife.
The girl said her brother made
the first advances to her one night
on a lonely spot at Belle Isle. She
said they arrived at the Island
about $50 pm. and remained
there until about 8 am.
The girl said her brother took
her in his arms, then he asked
her did she know how to make
love. She said Driver informed
her that he was going to show her
how to make love. The girl said
her brother kissed and attempted
to smother her in his arms, but
she resisted his advances, and
nothing happened that night.
She said about a week later,
after her sister-in-law left the
house for her job, Driver came
into her room. He was wearing
his pajarnas. He got in the bed
! with her and had relations.
Following the first act, the girl
said, she had relations with her
brother on an average Of three
times a week.
She said the acts always occur
red in her bedroom after her sis
ter-in-law left the house for
work.
Dressed in a dark green suit
with long curls of hair encircling
her beautiful brown face, the girl
continued her testimony in low
tone of voice before a packed
courtroom.
"After the first act ! told my
brother if he bothered me again
was going to write and tell my
mother"
The girl said her brother prom
ised not to date her any more, but
he refused to keep his word.
She said later she decided to
tell her sister-in-law. She wrote
note and explained their ro-
nance and the sister-in-law
called the police.
The girl said her brother
threatened her if she told anyone
about their secret romance.
When Judge Gillis asked the
girl why she didn't write and tell
her mother as she promised her
brother, she replied, II was
ashamed"
The girl declared that she has
never had relations with any
other man besides her brother.
She came to Detroit from a
small town in Alabama. She said
her parents wanted her to go to
school here.
Driver denied the charges.

ODD FELLOWS
PLAN TO
REJUVINATE
ORDER

1NCW IOIh - N<A4N1 IA IllONC-
ment is underway to rejuvenate
the once powerful Grand United
Order of Odd Fellows whose
activities have been limited dur
ing the past few years.
The first attempt to give new
life to the order will be a "Pat-
riarchie Day in Harlem" sched-
uled for this fall, Spearheading
affair will be the 10th Patriarch
the regiment of N. Y. state. Col.
James F. A. Lashley is the COM
manding officer.
Purpose of "Patriarchie Day in
Harlem" is to demonstrate that
the entire membership of the order
is working together to enable the
grand order to play leading role
in the fraternal world.
Since Gel. Lashley's election at
the state convention in James
town, N. Y, August, 1851, as CO.
manding officer, he has selected
a group of officers to help him
build up the membership of the
Patrarcry in particular, and the
order in general. The Patriarchy is
the highest branch of the G. u. O.
Of Odd Fellows as well as the mil
itary division Of the order.
To assist him, Col. Lashley ap-
pointed Maj. Simon R. Tuggle,
member of James F. Needham
Lodge 1853 as mastering officer.
Tuggle, in turn appointed Sam
uel Richardson, Jupiter Lodge
1882 as. director of publicity for
the 18th Patriarchy regiment OF
New York state.
Since the appointment Of the
above officers, the order has con-
centrated on bringing about unity
among the lodges and coordina-
ting them with the households
and other branches Of the order.
The first joint session OF the ex-
ecutive committee, representatives
of lodges and households met last
November. The next one Is
scheduled for Sunday. June 22'
The order was founded in Shef-
field, England in April 1852. II
reached its membership peak IN
1915 when it numbered 1,65O,S62.
The first Negro order W a $
founded in New York In 1898,
after Peter Ogden, Negro ship
steward, obtained a dispensation
for the order from England. The
first order was the Philamothean
lodge, of which Ogden became
Past Grand Master.
The dispensation to estab1sn
the order came after two Negro
literary and social societies had
applied to a White group, the
Friedly Society Of Odd Fellows,
for a dispensation. 1t was refus-
ed, and Ogden then appealed to
England for the dispensation.
The order grew from one lodge
in New York to hundreds OF
lodges and households throughout
the United States, parts OF the
British West Indies, Puerto Rico
Cuba, Liberia and Africa.
