''.;';:'' s Winston-Salem Journal. ; , Wheh the case against Lee Stew art, a white man, was called in muni cipal court yesterday morning, the defendant .walked up to the tar ' and the witnesses gathered around to be sworn. Judge Hartman glanced at the defendant.and noticed that his face was covered with pimples and he ask ed the physician' that was a witness m the case- if defendant.: had" smallpox. (Stewart was charged with violating the auarantine laws.) The physician stated that he had not examineoVthe defendant in several days" but walked over where the defendant was sit ting and after lopking at his face an nounced that he was suffering with small pox. , ; . ; . . v ' The announcement was like the explosion of a bomb in the court room and lawyers, spectators and newspap ermen fled from the court room. ' ;It was some little. time before order could be restored and Judge Hart- man stated that he would not try the man while he was in the condition he was and ordered him to get ou t of the court room and get out quickly. The physician protested (he is said to be a member of the city health de partment, saying that the man was walking around on the streets with the disease and that was the rea son he had been brought into court He asked that something be done with the defendant to keep him in quarantine. . , Judge Hartman lost no time in re peating his order for the. defendant to vacate the courtroom at once,-saying that all the doctors in Winston Salem could not make him believe that it was not detrimental to the health of those in the court room to keep the defendant ' there, since it has been regarded dangerous for him to walk, about on the streets. "I just won't try the case! now," said the judge." "When he gets well and I find out he has violated thi quarantine laws, I will fix him." The incident created considerable excitement in the court room and when court adjourned many' hastened away to consult a physician : tc take preventive measures against the dreaded disease.

BLLittle ' announce the and ap- proaching marriage of their daug1 ter, Louise, to Raymond Lee. Harris on April 13, 1922, . The farm is the backbone of the South prosperity, and there can be no revival of business until things out on the farm begin to look rip;. The CharT leston News and Courier said a few days ago: "Practically every mer chant in, this section is complaining, says The Sumter Item," about the shrinkage in the volume of busihess and most of them are finding it diffi cult -cut expenses "as they -may1 to realize enough to pay the overhead. This is a true picture of conditions at the present time in many other places beside um ter. The merchants are in the situation which the Sumter paper describes' because the farmers have been so hard hit. They cannot recover until the farmers recover. The truth is as The Item points out, that we are 'all in the' same boat," and must weather the storm together. The prosperity of every interest is abso lutely dependent upon a revival of agricultural prosperity and that can only be effected as business is able to assist, and does assist in bringing it about." ; We not infrequently feel called up on the criticise the present Congress, but we are ; surprised at our own moderation when we read the follow ing in the Boston Transcript. "Today the record of the House of Representatives in the first year of the new Administration, stamps it un mistakably as the worse House in 20 years. It has done more things that it ought not to do, and it has left undone more things that it ought to have done, than any House of Repre sentatives controlled cither by the Republican or the Democratic party that has met in Washington in , the last decade. It has broken more pled ges, it has succumbed to more perni cious propaganda, it has tresspassed in more directions upon the executive authority, than has any -one of its predecessors in 20 years. Its presid ing officer is ;help!wa. its loaders ara leaders in name only, - an ! for the most part they represent either the worse or the most stupid to be found in either political camp today." .. If a Democratic paner said this, it would be accused of offensive parti: anship. But the Boston Transcript is a" red-hot Republican newspaper, which makes its denunciation none the less true. ' - The Harding administration, is one year old. And the woi is yet Jo come. . ' ' .; ' GASTOIMiyHIELD F03 SERES CRIMES John Honeycuttj alias J. II. Murry, said to be a native of this county and most of his life a resident here, is in jail at Knoxville, Tenn, says the Gas tonia Gazette," where he is held on the charge of shooting Capt J. J. Schnei der of this city last- November and who, the police officials of Knoxville believe, is the "Midnight Marauder," who killed two people there last fall and entered a score or more of homes. It is understood that he will be tried at an early date in Knoxville. Much of the information which led up to the arrest of this man "Was furnished the police department of the Tennes see eity by Chief of Police Orr, of Gastonia. - i . Honeycutt, or Murry, was arrested a few weeks ago in Shortleaf, Ala., where he was working kround a -cot ton mill. With him at the time he was arrested was Mrs. Nettie MyersJit was said by Peter J. Bentley, of - . . ..... . Y 1 1 LL t 1L. of Covington, Tenn. Her husband, Robert Myers, assisted the officers in locating the couple and bringing them back for trial. Mrs Myers is being held as a material witness . Last October and November Knox ville was-greatly stirred, by a series of crimes all of which were very sim ilar and were apparently, perpetrated by the same person. .The criminal's object seemed to be to attack women. The Knoxville officers were baffled and the crime wave ; became so ram pant that citizens organised posses and staid out at night in an effort to apprehend, this "midnight -mar auder." It was in a battle between one of these' posses andthe fleeing criminal on "the night of November 2nd that Capt. Schneider was shot. ' Chief of Police E. M. Hayes, of Knoxville, ; sent V circular letter broadcast over the country describing the crimes that were being committed in that city and asking if any other cities were having similar experi ence. The only town heard from was Gastonia. At that time this city was havinjf a similar expyetienc.'"'that many homes were being entered witn the same: purpose evidently in view by the criminal. Chief Orr got onto communication with the Knoxville of ficials. When Honeycutt was suspec ted he conducted an investigation of Honeycutt'? record here, at Bessemer City and at Kannapolis. It is beliet- ed that he was here aft the time some of the cromes were committed a year or more ago. : Recent issues of The Knoxville Journal and Tribune carry detailed reports of the arrest of Honeycutt and of his crimes. This paper says;. More than 450 police chiefs were written personal letters regarding the wave of crime that swept the city. Mr, Watkins exhibited a file of answers a foot thick. Some reported a few scattered instances similar to those described by Chief Haynes and every report that appeared promising was investigated. Little Rock had been visited by "a series' of crimes some what similar to those that terrorized Knoxville. r: '':'""'.' ;t." ; Mr, Watkins made a visit to Ar kansas to' learn the' particulars and found that Little Rock's "marauder" had been a negro, who was killed pre vious to the commission of some of the -more recent crimes in Knoxville. From the chief of police at Gastonia, N. C, came two letters describing the operations of a maraduer. The partic ulars correcpond almost in detail to the characteristic of Knoxville's mar auder. Myef says he and his wife and Honeycutt were in Gastonia at the time the series of twenty or more assaults and attempted'fassaults were committed there. This, fact forms an important link in the chain, of circum stantial evidence that the department has built and , is building around Honeycutt. k ' The Journal and Tribune, cataloug ing lie-crimes of the "Midnight Ma rauder" says s i ' ' List of Crimes Below is a list of the various ma rauding ' acts committed in the city since August 1 all of which have been been listed on the, police files as un solved crimes; ..-..'

The murderer escaped Miss Tilson's sister described, the intruder as a man who'smelled like a drugstore." Deputy Sheriff Clifton last night described Huncycutt in the same words. , - Shortly after 7 o'clock on the morn ing of August 19, Miss Jessie Parker school teacher, .was assaulted near In skip 'on her way to school. ,A negro was held for the crime, but released when he proved ah alibi.

Y., March 15. Thefts of merchandise from New York Cen tral railroad cars on an enormous scale resulted in the indictment today of railroad detectives, saloon keepers, merchants, chaufeurs and farmers, who are alleged to have made up a ring of thieves and fences that han dled goods worth $2,000,000 a year for the last three years.

Since January, 1921, 23 robberies of cars containing liquor have been reported and the claims on these alone total $750,000. With the alleged connivance of railroad police, detailed to guard the trains, yardmasters, swtichmen and other railroad employes, it was pos sible for thieves to remove goods from a cat and reseal it so that the looting would 'hot be discovered until the car arrived at its destination. The car selected for a job, Mr. Bently said, would be taken out of a train and put on a switch easily approached by automobile truck. After the car had- been robbed and the contents loaded into trucks, the seals t would be replaced and the car put on an outbound train with no record "of the delay on the yard master's books. 5,000 BALES COTTON BACK FROM GERMANY Boston, March 16.
