Business received a marked impetus

Public Wedding
To Be Feature Of
Warren Fair
The old adage that "In the spring
a young man's fancy lightly turns
to 'thoughts of love" seems to be the
foremost thought in the mind of a
new arrival in Warrenton, Ben HVoorheis,
who will assist the Lions
Club in staging their First Annual
FairIn
discussing plans for the fair
with the Lions Club committee it
was decided to have some outstanding
event on the fairgrounds during
the week that would leave a last- J
ing memory in the minds of the
people of the Pair.
Edward Gilliam, chairman of the
Lions Club Committee, asked Mr.
Voorheis just what the most memorable
event in a man's and
woman's life jvould.,, remain the
most outstanding. " "Their wedding,"
said Mr. Vcorheis promptly.
And on the spur of the moment
it was decided to have a public
wedding at the First Annual Warren
County Pair and with a Warren
County or Warrenton couple as
the two principals to the wedding.
Now all that Mr. Voorheis wan c.s
is for some couple who is eager to
get married and willing to be publicly
married on Thursday evening

Former President Bank Of
Warren Refuses To Come
Here For Trial
BANK CASE CONTINUED
Judge W. C. Harris of Raleigh,
here presiding over Warren County
Superior Court, Tuesday morning
ordered extradition procedure started
to bring Carter N. Williams of
Richmond back to Warren county
to face trial with G. B. Gregory of
Richmond, Lloyd Kinsey of Roselle
Park, N. J-, and John G. Ellis of
Warrenton on charges of violating
the state banking laws- These four
men, along with W. H. Dameron of
Warrenton, were indicted by a
Grand Jury in 1933 on charges of
receiving deposits knowing the
Bank of Warren to be insolvent
and making a false report as to the
financial condition of the bank.
Ifr- Williams was former president
of the bank, which failed to
open on the morning of December
24, 1931, Mr. Gregory was cashier,
ond nomorAM ITlneair and TP1H?
| w?i? vaiim uii, uuuvj, auu uuw
were directors. Mr. Dameron has
since diedThe
case has been continued from
court-to-court for various causes,
usually at the request of the defendants
or their attorneys- Once
the state asked for a continuance
on account of the illness of Solicitor
W- H. S. Burgwyn.
At the May term of court a motion
to quash the indictment was
granted by Judge Cranmer, who
was presiding here then, after
counsel for the defendants had
proven that Maurice W- Kimball
served on the Grand Jury which
returned the original indictment
while the name of Marvin W. Kimball
was drawn by the County Commissioners
for jury duty. There i3
not a Marvin W. Kimball in this
county, so far as it could be learned
Shortly after the case had been
thrown out on the technicality,
another Grand Jury indicted the
former bank officials on the same
charges and the case was set for
trial at this term.
Claiming, in a press release from
Richmond, that he had been here
repeatedly for trial, that he was not
a resident of this county when the
ollona/1 oelrvin nrQC Or?/f
that the case had once been thrown
out of court, Williams refused to
come to Warren this week and face
trial. The other defendants were
here, and according to their attorneys,
they are ready and anxious
for trial.
In ordering issued a capias for
the arrest of Williams after his
name had been called out in court
and he failed to appear, Judge Harris
stated: "In my opinion he can
be extradited and I ask that such
proceedings be started to extradite
him at once." Solicitor Burgwyn
responded that he would start them
as scon as he leaves here and asked
that che case against the other
defendants be continud "because it
would be rather futile to try three
men when the fourth is absent and
these men might be acquitted on
account of the other man's absence,
and I feel that they all should be
tried togetner." jjona ior Mr. Williams
was set at $1,000 In each
case.
E. L. Travis, veteran attorney of
Halifax, who with Congressman
John H. Kerr Is representing Mr.
Williams, stated that In his opinion
Mr. Williams was standing on his
own rights as a Virginia resident
in refusing to come here and that
the state had no legal right to extradite
him. He added that his
client was not here when the crime
was alleged to have taken place,
and that he had been freed of the
charge once.
SOLICITOR BURGWYN MAKES

In asking thai extradition papers

counsel on account of the variance

jurors.
