Ponluff "is seeking -damages in the sum of s2tnoofi as the result,of an editorial whleh npiieared in The Times on February 23 in which the plaintiff was described as an “iouni grnbt ignoramus." Several deposit ! ons were first Intro duced by the entinsel for the plaintiff, these being from 1). S. I’oole, author of the Poole evolution bill; Rev. J. M. Hilliard, of High I*oint, \V. H. Blanchard, of Fuqua.v Springs, and Hr. J. W, McLaughlin, president of Furman University. In the editorial it .was charged also that in debating the Poole bill before a House committee I)r. l'entuff became so unmannerly that 'lie had to be sup pressed” by the cqfnmittee chairman. The depositions for the most part de » ed that such was the case, Mr. Poole stating that Dr. Pentuff appeared be fore the committee at his request. Mr. Hilliard said he heard the debate and did not hear Chairman Connor suppress the speaker. Mr. Blanchard saitl he invited Dr. Pentuff to speak at Fuqua.v Springs and that resolutions of commendation for his address there, whirh appeared in The News and Observer he and not Dr. Pentuff, had written.

Mooresville, Raleigh and Fnquay Springs. When asked about his conduct be fore the House committee. Dr. Pen tuff said, ”1 gave a straightforward lecture, explaining the bill. 1 gave a dignified and clear statement of facts. 1 conducted myself like a gentleman.” Dr. Pentuff denied that he was “sup pressed" by Chairman Connor, saying the only thing of the kind occurred when after he had finished he asked permission to direct a question to those oo|msing him in the debate. This, he said, was denied by the chairman. The editorial matter, he said, had caused him great mental anguish. On cross-examination Dr. Pentuff was asked about many incidents that were not mentioned in bis direct ex amination. Mr. Hartsel) asked him about notes he had not paid, about warrants issued for him in the State and about stocks he had sold and guar anteed. Several times the witness hesitated and a number of times he declared he had forgotten some of the inci - dents mentioned. He admitted that be has lived in North Carolina, South Carolina, Ken tucky. Missouri, Illinois, lowa, Texas and West Virginia. “You immigrated back to North Carolina, didn’t you?” Mr. Hartseil asked. “I don’t know,” was the first r* ply. "bo you mean to say a man of your eduction doesn’t know what im migrating means?” Mr. Hartaell asked. “I came back home,” the witnesa then replied. “You were ip Morganton in XtKiO, when all' your goods were attached for debt, weren’t you?” Mr. Hartaell I asked. . . ”J don’t recall Jhe date.” "Your property was attached for debt there, wasn’t It?” "Yea.” - From Morganton the witness said he went to Tennessee where he stayed a short time; going from there to Yaney county. "You were arrested m Yancy coun ty on n false pretense charge, weren’t you?” “On a false charge.” “Yon paid the costa and the money you were charged with getting under false pretense, didn’t you? “I paid part of the coats and aH of the money.” Later Dr. Pentuff explained atgreat length about the money. He was try ing to open mica and falspar mines, he said, and wanted to get money to make a payment. Mr. Hoskins, of Burnsv'lle, he said, learned of con The Concord Daily Tribune : . North Carolina’s Leading Small City Daily .i* “ ditlons and got the money from Ms r hank on a note which he endorsed. I When the note became due he didn’t have i'.te money, the witness said, and [the bank refused to take another note. | When he pent back to Burnsville With I the new note He was arrested atid ( [ placed in jail, where he stayed until , 1 bondsmen from Marion could be notl l.fted of his plight. ,1 ''Wasn't another warrant issued for • you in Yancey county because of $55 ytin owed William Parne!)?” • Mr. I Hartseil asked. "Yes. I ((aid.this nml the costs." Jt was charged in Rio indictments Which were read that Dr. Pentuff asked Mr. Huskins and Mr. Parnell for the loans, telling them be had ' property which would be sold soon which would bring him in at least SI,OOO. He explained that friends did not take the property and he could not pay Cue money. Dr. Pentuff also admitted that he j was secretary and treasurer of the! 'roll River Mineral and Timber Com pany. He did not recall, he said, sell ing $1,300 worth of the stock to G. W. Ilonner and signed by him, in which lie guaranteed the stock. “Did Bonner ever get his money back on the stock?" Dr. Pentuff was asked. “I guess not. I signed the stock as secretary but 1 don’t remember making the sale. The directors of Rte company told me to guarantee the ,stock." "Do you. remember a note for $275 which Mr. Banner endorsed for you?" Mr. Hnrtsell nsked. “I don’t, recall about that.” The note waet produced and Dr. Pentuff said he remembered it. He explained that what he meant at first- wsr that he didn’t remember the exact amount of the note. "Hitvc you pnid Mr. Bonner?" “I have not." "How much other money do yon owe ?” 1 “More than I can jay.” In Charlestown, W. Va., Mr. Pen tuff ndmitted G. K. Benner bad thrown him into- bankruptcy because he equld not pay SI,OOO he owed Benner- i “Do you think the fact that yon Were phteed in bankruptcy cancelled the raet-sl 'debt ?’’ Mr. Hartseil asked. vssTJ would pay him if I had the Idoney.” v -That court as meaning iW. I’effDnT'rofr he stii| had a moral obligation. “And weren't you arrested fn Mo>- ganton, X. C-, about another cheek?” Dr. Pentuff was asked. “There was something about a cheek there but I don't recall that I was arrested.” tfr. Pentuff ndmitted that he owes a sum of money to M- W. Brown, of Paeolet, 8. C. Miss Twitty, an Ancona hen be longing to the Pentuff family, was brought into the ease as the result of an article which appeared in the Daily Tribune. In the article the hen was given credit for laying three eggs before I) o'clock on a single morning. Dr. Pentuff said he thought this was so. since he carried the key to the henhouse. “I would not deny it,” he said. “People in Concord came to see that hen, didn’t they?” Mr. Hnrtsell asked. “Yes, some did.” “Grover Love was there one day, wasn’t be?” “I didn’t invite him especially, but I think he was there.” “And the hen laid but one egg that day?” “Yak.” Dr. pentuff said he had put an egg advertisement in a Charlotte paper because his daughter wanted him to. In the ad. it was stated that eggs, laid by Miss Twitty, who laid twice a day, were for sale. Dr. Gaines, pastor of the St. John's Baptist Church, of Charlotte, was called. He said Dr. Pentuffs reputation in the Meckienbnrg-Cnbar rus Association was good. His gen eral reputation so far as he knows is good, Dr- Gaines said. Uto plaintiff rested after introduc ing evidence to show that the Raleigh Times is read by a few persons in this city and has a general circula tion in Wake County. Efforts by the plaintiff to' show that Dr. Pentuffs chances of getting another position have been endanger ed by the editorial were not admitted by Judge A. M. Stack, who is pre siding. v , The defense was ready to argue a motion for dismissal of the suit when: court recessed at noon.

Richmond, Va;, Oct. 27.—Delegates to Ihe biennial convention of the United Lutheran Church in America were startled yesterday when cancel lation of European war debts to the United States was advocated in a formal report by the committee on moral and social welfare of file Luth eran Chureh. Delegates were amaz ed to note that the committee had re garded a moot question of interna tional finanse as within the purview of moral or social welfare. Since the Lutheran Church is known to hold the view that preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ is the church's chief function, the action of the convention on the proposal to remit the war debts in order to prevent the designation of America as "a Shylock” is awaited with keen anticipation. The subject is taken up by the committee under the heading of "Our International Problem,” stating: “To keep America true to her moor ings and har mission, we must keep America humble. Our heel of Achilles in international relationships is a pos sible oVerlordship in matters of fi nance.” Three courses are outlined by the committee as possible methods by which to “right the world in which we live.” The first of these is to reduce the tariff, the second to let down the bars to Immigration, and the third to “ul timately wipe out the debt incurred by foreign nations.” The first is re jected as unacceptable to industrial leaders, gnd the second is opposed by the workers and those concerned in social welfare. Taking up the re mission of the debt, the committee says ip jt* yeport: “The thjrd profipsal should not be carried- out immediately. Before Amer ica accepts this solution of the world problem, it ought to have some sub stantial guaranty that the states of Europe will effectively set their houses in order and direet their energies to the establishment of a United States of Europe. It is highly important* that tile, debt Fiiall not be remitted until there is some effective guaranty that the World War was not fought In vain. “Q», the other hand, it is equally important that America recognize that It is called to be a restorer rather thap a Shylock and that our nation, sharing in commercial culpalibity, must not hold the European yvorld a vassal for sixty years or three gen eration!, to come,” J of the Lotneea*/world convention Uu to develop an international Lutberafi' —" : In News Here and *Abroad ■T .JM | i - J * .BISHOP INGRAM c HARJtV J> GIFFORX> f “ ' ’ ■( IF--” ” 'lp ** m Sll H Iff I ■ HP I -x... - PRINCE i EITEI TEEIDERICH PRINCESScSOEWIE CHARLOTTf American college stndents are not addicted to booze orgies, the Rev.
