Rev. I. N. Clegg
Files Answer
Rowland Minister Denies Charge
Made by His Wife in Habeoo Cor
pus Proceedings—Says W6*’
Robed Men Came to See Her at His
Home But Net at His Request.
HEARING WILL BE HELD HERE
FRIDAY BEFORE JUDGE DEVIN.
Rev. I. N. Clegg of Rowl*nd was m
Lumberton yesterday and filed an
swer to the complaint in habeaos cor
pus proceedings instituted by his
wife, Mrs. Annie Mcl. Clegg, now re
siding in Richmond, Va., in wfale
she alleges her husband asked the
Ku Klux Klan to visit her in which
she is seeking custody of their four
children. ...
In his answer Mr. Clegg admits
that he has not lived with Mrs. Clegg
since the 3rd day of last August, the
date that she left for her home m
Granite Va., ostensibly on a visit to
Vipy nonnlp
He* denies that the petitioner was
forced to leave his home in Rowland
or that he acted in any way to make
life burdensome or unbearable. He
admits that he did not go to Granite
to see her and tried to persuade her
to return to Rowland and live with
him. He denies that he has granted
the posession of the children* to the
petitioner and that any agreement
was made relative to her return to
North Carolina.
Didn’t Ask Ku Klux to Visit Home.
He admits that 8 white-robed men
came to the home- in Rowland about
10 o’clock at night and asked for the
petitioner, stating that they had-a let
ter for her, but he denies that he had
anything to do wih heir coming,
states that he was surprised when
they came, and further states that he
would have done everything possible
to keep them from coming, had he
known anything of the plans. He
says that they came there without
his knowledge and strictly against
His will.
Regarding the 5-year-old child,
Archie, whom she alleges her hus
band had consented to her taking
back to Virginia with her but spirit
ed away just before time for the
train, Mr Clegg denies that he took
the child' away, but admits that he
kept the child at the home and re
fused to allow him to accompany his
wife to Virginia.
The respondent admits that be
went to Virginia for the purpose of
bringing two of his daughters back
to Rowland with him and that he
found them about'« miles from the
city of Richmond walking along a
path through the woods, unprotected
in a remote country. He. spoke to,
them | and when they recognized him
they ran to him, threw their arms,
about his neck and kissed him and'
gladly accompanied him hack to their,
homo in North Carolina* This ^ ho
says was all done in the day-time
and was no secret. He brought them
back to Rowland and placed them In
the graded school.
Mr. Clegg refuses to abandon his
duty of caring for the chidren and
surrender them to the petitioner,
stating that she has a violent tamper
and that her work as an elocutionist
and public reader keeps her away
from home so much that she cannot
care for the children in the proper
manner. Mrs. Clegg, according-to the
answer, is not of domestic habits and
the chidren cannot be properly safe
guarded by her.
A special hearing has been set for
tomorrow and Judge W. A. Devi.i of
Oxford, before whom the case will be
heard, is expected to arrive here to
night.

By C. D. Williamson.
Parkton, June 13—Mr. and Mrs.
A. AT Culbrech of Tarver, Ga., ar
rived in Parkton last Wednesday *fcd
returned to Georgia* Sunday evening.
M*. Culhreth waa happily married to
Mfe* Ellen Prescott of Statesville,
Ga., June 4. They spent most of their
brief visit at the home of their uncle,
Mr. J. B. McCormick, of out town,
but made several calls to *near rela
tions in upper Cumberland and Har
nett county. They met a most hearty
reception .while with relatives and
friends here and only regret their
time was so short. Billy, as we all call
him, was most fortunate in winning
one of Georgia's most accom
plished and fairest brides who pos
sesses a personality equal to her;
beauty. We had the pleasure of en
tertaining them in our home for din
ner Saturday jujd thoroughly enjoy
ed their association. Billy claims they
will make their home at Saints’ rest
at Tarver and invites his scribe down
to enjoy fishing with him, and I on
ly wish I could. He speaks of the al
ligators, but excuse me—then.
One of the most enjoyable recep
tions of the season was the one given
at the elegant home last Thursday
night of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Hughes,
from 8 till 11 given in honor of Miss
Eupha Smith, daughter of Rev. and
Mrs. V. G. Smith. Delightful re
freshments were served.
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. McCormick and;
daughter, Sarah, took Virginia, the;
elder daughter, over to Raleigh yes-!

tend summer school at State college.
Miss Sarah Hall of Dundarach who
teaches, accompanied them.
Miss Marie McMillan left today
for Greensboro, while Miss Georgia
Williamson left . yesterday, where
they attend the summer school.
In fact we are unable to report all
the teachers who are away just at
this time, and it effects the social
standing with most all of us. Most
as soon as the young folks get home
from teaching or from college they
have to leave for summer schools.
Mrs. D S. Currie had the misfor
tune of gating her arm broken ovpr
at the Gray’s Creek picnic yesterday.
As she was starting for home, some

Currie, also Dr. Nash of St. Pauls
were present at the arrival of Mrs.
Currie and treatment was rendered
and the patient is resting as well as
could be expected at present.

she having lost one of her sisters, who
lived somewhere in the west; also
one of her brothers died in South
