The Miss Minnie Cose
A nationwide sensation unfolded
in Virginia in 1856 although it had
its beginnings over two decades
earlier. That was the arrest Of
Miss Minnie" Mangum in Norfolk,
charged with stealing more money
than any other woman in United

Miss Minnie's" arrest was made
four days after Christmas, 1855. but
the details Of the case did not un-
fold until this year. She was
charged with embezzling S2,s84. .957
from the Commonwealth Building

charges covering part OF the total

Dear Mr.. Harrison:

Dear MIR. Harrison
1 am writing this letter in regards to the
comments which you had for the recent Robert
Montgomery show, THE Last Flight of the
Hindenburg" Although you were very outSpokep
in your praise for this show. with which most
definitely agree, you tainted it somewhat with
the words, a." some unnecessary and unex-
plainable over-acting" Forgive me, Mr.. Harri-
son, but have been trying to read your mind
enough to figure out just what ver-acting you
are referring to in the reporters account of the
confiagration of the dirigible Please hear me
out; If not, please go on to your more hostile
mall if you get such letters.
Before the show. my wife insisted that l
sit down and watch the show for one reason
During her high school days, she heard true
recording of the actual reporters account of
this terrible tragedy Before this portion of the
show took place, she described his account of
the events telling me that he swore cursed in
the Lords name, and wept bitterly as the air
ship crumbed to the ground. We both agree
that this part was very definitely not over
acted"
Please regard me as over-hasty agitator
If have wrongly accused you here, and will
not attempt to criticize a critic again. Thank
you for bearing the sings and arrows of such

Carriico Slated
For Judgeship

Harry L. Carrico, 39-year-old
Fairfax County attorney. seemed
almost certain to become the
new Judge for Virginia's Six
teenth District after his indorse-
ment yesterday by members Of
the Alexandria Bar.
Mr.. Carrico's surprise indorse-
ment by Alexandria lawyers was
first made by a 38-to-33 vote
over Albert v. Bryan. jr, the
only other nominee.
The vote was made unanimous
on request of Mr.. Bryan, 81
year-old attorney.
1t was believed that Police
Court Judge James r. Duncan.
who was considered several years
ago for a Corporation Court
post, would be a strong con-
tender in Alexandria. Lawyer
sources said, however, that Judge
Duncan kept his name out and
his supporters voted for Mr.. Car
rico.
Mr.. Carrico was Endorsed last
week by the Fairfax County Bar
Association and has the informal,
backing of the Prince William
County Bar Association. The
three Jurisdictions make up the
Sixteenth Circuit. which now has
two judges, one Of whom lives
in Fairfax and one in Prince
William.
A bill creating a third judge
ship for the Sixteenth Circuit
and another for the Arlington
Circuit was passed yesterday by
the Virginia House Of Delegates
and sent to Gov. Stanley for
signature.
