Peggy Satterlee Vanquished By Strumpet-Crumpet Chaos HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 22. (UP) The pet name by which pretty 16-yearrold Peggy Satter lee was known by some of her ad mirers was "scruppet" and not "crumpet" or "strumpet" it was brought out today at the trail of Errol Flynn on charges of statu tory rape. Owen Capehart-Jones, e x squadron leader of the Canadian RAF. admitted as a witness for r the prosecution that he had paid Miss Satterlee's apartment rent, paid for her clothes and kissed her "now and then."

CASE 1 Facts: A University junior found two books beneath his seat in a classroom. He picked them up and carried them away at the end of the class period. One book contained the names of several students, one of whom was known to the finder who made no effort to contact any of the students. He took the books almost directly to the Intimate Book Shop, where the owner of the shop offered to buy them for four dollars. The finder then left, taking the books with him, with out saying anything further or letting anyone know that the books were not his own. After waiting in his room over an hour he returned to the book shop to sell the books! Mr. Abernathy, owner of the shop, was out but had left a girl to keep the shop. The boy told the girl that Mr. Abernthy had agreed to let him have four dollars for the books. She agreed to give him the money and wrote out a receipt for him to sign. In signing he itemized the books and signed his name and phone, number. There was some conflict ing testimony as to whether the girl had asked him to sign the receipt or whether he had volunteered to leave his name after she had indicated some unwillingness to give him four dollars for the books. At any rate it was undisputed that the girl un derstood he was leaving his name in case Mr. Abernathy should complain about the price she had paid for the books. t)uring the entire time the books were in his possession the finder had told no one he had found them or that they were not his books, although he had had many opportunities to do so. 5 The boy's testimony: He said that after finding the books he carried them away with the intention of finding the owner, that 1 ' See CASES,' page i I CHAPEL HILL, N. fadeBte eport W IRC to Meet CPU Debaters January 29 Phi Alpha Enters Two Tourney Teams The IRC-CPU debate, which will probably afford one of the high spots of the first All-Campus debating tourney, will be held Friday, January 29.
