Newman Itolibed on a Drive From Carolina Gold Mines. 'Salisbury, N. C, Mar. 16. Walter George Newman, a wealthy mine own er, of New York, who came to North Carolina for the purpose of paying off the employes of his two gold mines at Gold Hill, was robbed of $6,000 in cash and a lot of valuable jewelry, while on a carriage drive today from Gold Hill to Salisbury, from which city he took the afternoon train for New York. The authorities are now making an investigation. Newman could throw little light on the loss of his valuables. Both money and jewels, he says, were carried in a small grip, which rested between his feet In the bottom of the carriage. He stopped on the road and spoke to sev- ral persons whom he knew. The val uables were not missed until after he had left Salisbury. Newman admits the possibility of the money and jewels being lost on the road, but both he and the police' June-July are inclined to the belief that an an dacious robbery has been committed.

B. Craw ford was exonerated last night from :he charges of lying, preferred by Mrs Mary Lavender. The committee of nine Methodist ministers, sitting as a jury, reached its verdict after four hours of deliberation. The decision followed one of the hardest fought church trials ever witnessed In this city. Mrs. Lavender, herself will be put on trial next Thursday on charges of Improper conduct with the Rev. John D. Leek, who resigned the pulpit of the Western Avenue Methodist Episco pal Church after Pastor Crawford had interested himself in the case. The ministerial jury, although it exonerated Mr. Crawford of the charge of lying, criticised him for a "lack of judicial restraint and kindly conslder- ateness, that would have obviated much misunderstanding and irritation."

A woman friend of her's said last night: "Mrs. Morse sold a pin that cost $4,000 for $1,500, to meet the bill of a stenographer, amounting to more than $2,000, because she had promised him that a part of it would be paid on a certain day. Her Fifth avenue residence Is for sale, and she remains in It only because she can live cheap er Ihere'than elsewhere. Up to a year ago she had seven servants and she has had only one for the past year." Mrs. Morse's collection of jewels in, luded several necklaces and num berless lings, brooches, pendents, bracelets, watches, etc. They were sold at a heavy sacrifice to friends and F.lth avenue dealers.
