Harkers Island
Couple to Know
Fate INext Week
Charged With Breaking The
Seventh Commandment, Nel
lie Jones, Faces Term at
SjtmiaCAnrl And Rrndv I our it
Co-Defendant Faces Court
Judgment and His Wife,
Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis Who
Brought The Charges
Down on Harkers Island, 18-year
old Nellie Jones, daughter of John
Jones, is probably trying: to find three
or more persons who will testify to
her good charcter when she appears
in Kecorders Court next Tuesday
morning to face charges of cohabit
ing and bedding with Braddy Lewis,
a fisherman. Failing to- produce
those witnesses the alleged delinquent
will probably be sent to Samacand
Manor, the State detention home for
girls who -do not follow the straight
and narrow but instead choose a
"primrose path of dalliance."
During the same session of court
on Tuesday Brady Lewis, the father
of six children and the husband of
Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis will learn what
penalty he will pay for the alleged
charges against him. While the item
of 'bedding' was included in the
charges against the couple Mrs.
Lewis who had them arrested, failed
to produce any direct evidence to that
effect. The nearest evidence given
that the couple had not only violated
an up-to-date statute but also the
Seventh of the Ten Earliest Laws
carved on stone by Moses (Exodus 20
14) was that they had been caught in
the dark together on several occasions
which was evidence enough, so Mrs.
Lewis thought, to justify the swear
ing out of a warrant.
Some people seem to have sym
pathy for Nellie in this case. Pro
bably her home life has not been all
that it could have been for the early
training of a srirl. Her father
Jones once , served six months on the
courthouse green after he was con
victed of stealing a skiff and sails, it
was stated by a court attache. Re
cently he has been 'working on relief
it was stated.

"With this saving or. only four
items, the saving to nil commerce
will be huge." sav3 Mr. Clplnnrl TTr,
explained that freight rates are a di
rect tax, the same as sales, income,
inheritance or property tax, and ef
fect all, another reason why state and
national leaders have and still advo
