Watts, State commissioner of revenue, with "aiding and abetting" porstitu tion was lasued here this afternoon by the police authorities of Raleigh. The charge, was based on a report made by patrolmen who said tnat they went to Col. Watts' quarters last night, af ter one of them had observed a hftgro man and two negro women enter the bullying, and there found one of the two women. The negro woman directly Implica ted in the charge made against Col. Watts, according to the information lodged by the police, is Grace Gran tham. who was said to -have given Statesvllle as her home. A charge of prostitution was made against the Grantham woman and charges of "so liciting" were preferred agiinst the ether two negroes. The negroes were released oy the police last night without bond, it was stated, after being ordered to appear Saturday morning in the city cotjrt. The city prosecuting attorney, C. W. lieckwith, who instructed the Issu ance of the warrant, stated that the prosecution of tba_case against Col. Watts was not dependent upop wheth er the other defendants could be pro duced In court or not, and that he would proceed with the policemen as witnesses If they did not appear. "If the facts reported in the morn ing paper afe even substantially Cor rect. warrants against all the parties will be issued in the ordinary course , of business." City Prosecutor Beck I with told The Times early Monday in discussing what action he would taku in consequence of a police raid Sun day night on the apartments of Col. Aston D. Watts, Commissioner of Revenue since May. 1921. "I have not had time tu gu fully hm; the matter with'the members of the pcllce department satto conducted the raid," Mr. Beckwith explained, "but from what Detective Daniellv told me, I am convinced that we have a prima facie case against Mr. Watts, Grace Grantham and Nina Bailey, mulatto women, and Robert McDuffie, negro man. "The warrants I shall draw," he con tinued. "will be indictm'ents for pros titution and soliciting, and the cases will be treated as would any other ccses of similar nature. I mean by this that we could do no more with Blanche McCade for cursing the Gov ernor of North Carolina than we could had she cursed an ordinary ser vant on the street." ? Raleigh Times.
