' , v The offense is alleged to have been
. committed Friday afternoon at grad-
ed echool No. 2. The young lady was
with Mies Scarboro,' daughter of Mr.
" W. It Scarboro, who is also deaf and
, dumb. Both of the young women
were students together at the State
j Deaf and Dumb School and Miss
." Patterson was visiting Miss Scarboro.
i From .what an he gathered concern-
ing the affair the young women were
'together at the grove in ihe rear of
' 'the school building when Miller ana
i ..' a companion came by. It is said that
Miller knew Miss Scarboro and stop
oed and spoke to her. He then began
v.; communicating with the young ladies
by making signs to them.-- .neighbors
nearby state that when they first caw
the young man talking to the young
" women the three ... were ' laughing.
, Later", it is alleged, Miller put his
hand on Miss Patterson and attempt-
'ed to induce her to go behind a fence
' ' that makes an enclosure for a small
'- buildimr in the rear of the school
' buildinff. However, it is said, the
. voune lady did not stay there and
'.' Miller and his companion left, going
. Awards the Buffalo mill. Neighbors
living nearby state that they saw Mil
ler have his bands on the young lady
' but did not see any scuffle and that
there was not the slightest evidence
that a Criminal offense was committed
other than, the fact that the man had
. his hands on the1 eirl.
- , . Miller went from there to Char-
: : lotte. where be worked for the rail-
roftd company.' He stated that after
w arriving there he heard that he was

By. Els Warn Friend Aad Former
Factor, Est.-J. A. B. rry, of Cal-
Dear Editor: Returning from a trip
to Oregon, I find the announcement
your paper of the deatb or my
honored and dear- friend, Jodge
Montgomery, Let me add .a word
to the many tribute which have fail
like rosea oa the grave of. this
strong man. When I went to Concord
in 1900 as a young pastor I found one
of the most pleasant spots in all our
fair earth. . Surely to a preacher tois
as near a "Paradise Regained."
as poet ever dreamed of. l The fel
lowship of the churches v and .' the
large sympathy of the citizenship and
the goodness of the homes combine to
create a "sweet Auburn" of the vale.
can never allow the memory of this
fair city to tade memory- holds it
eternal embrace. -.. : ;
Among those who greeted and wel
comed 'us was W. X Montgomery. Of
this mighty Carolinian I, had often
beard.' It was how my privilege to
meet him as his pastor. t.-. He was a
man of few words. . There was noth
ing in him of the frothy effusiveness
that is secreted by the lips-but never
rests in the heart.' , One mighty aone
is a iar surer resting placeman Inany
heaps of desert drift.' The few words
of Judge Montgomery spoke' loud.
There, was a richness m his sentences
that reminds one of 'Carlyle. He was
sympathetic hearers and ..personal
counsellor during our sojourn in Con
cord. Happy was the . minister who
had the presence of such a close list
ener and kindlv critic as this man.
He knew his Bible as few men know
he could; analyze the mind and
motive of men, he was a mighty ad
vocate at the' bar,: he Was a patriot
without Chauvinism, a scholar with
out pedantry,- a friend without pre
tence. He read great book's,' thought
ilosely about . abstruse: themes, rev
ered what is sacred, and lived simply
and unostentatiously. His quiet fig
ure, stick in hand, steady gate, was
familiar picture, as be daily made
bis way along the elm-shaded street
from his office to his home. '
One -by one these familial' forms of
the days gone by, are passing. 'How
many of those-whom 1 knew and lov
ed have passed to .the Eternal City.
Peace to their good souls. When I
again visit ConeordI shall feel a sad
vacancy. :"BUt we' know where, they
are. These wordsj by Priscilla Leon
ard, make a fitting closet ' .
Doubt shrouds man's path in fog and
. .nust,.. v ,, ,
Yet God's revealments still persist,
And he who follows, day by day, ".
The best he meets upon the way 1
Shall ever climb, and ever turn, ' '
Until his feet are given wings -To
haste towards eternal thimn, ?
And reach at last, upon the . height,
The glory .of unclouded Light. . .. :
