Required to Pay Aulo and
Doctor's Bills in Shooting
of Wnidon Creef
K. F. LONG ACQUITTED
Trial Ju?lice Sawyer E\
prrtmex Opinion Botli
i Side* Might Have Told
? More, Had They Seen Fit
P? Having nipped In the bud a
prospective elopement by the ef
fective If Injudicious use of a shut
gun. Wiley Long, living al Thomp
son's Corner, about two mllea
from this city on the Weeksvllle
Highway, was fined J 60 in re
corder's court Monday, and was
required to pay the doctor's hill
of Weldon C reef, his victim, and
to reimburse Creef for the dam
?\f. age to the latter'a csr. Creef's
home is only a few hundred yards
from that of tbe Longs.
Wiley Long and his father were
charged with assault with a dead
ly weapon with Intent to kill, but
the charge against the father was
dropped, and that against the son
was modified by elimination of the
"Intent to kill," placing the case
within the Jurisdiction of the low
er court.
The shooting occurred last
Tuesday morning, shortly after
midnight. Creef, first witness on
the ,staud, testified tiiat he had
gone to the Long hoine In the ex
pectation of eloping with H. F.
Long's daughter/ Miss Iieadio
Long. Somehow the plans of the
couple went awry, and after Btfiv
Ing vainly to carry out the scheme,
Creef climbed Into his car and de
parted. He had parked his auto
mobile a short distance from the
gate in front of the Long home,
he testified, and as he passed the
gate, two strange figure* ap
peared in the road aud demanded
j&at he halt. Instead, he put on
Ih tnore speed, and when he had gone
Htftbout 60 yards farther, a shot
P^*nig out, and he was peppered
I- along the left arm with birdshot ?
98 In all. He hurriedly went to
a doctor.
Wiley Ixtng, next on the stand,
freely admitted that he fired the
Shot, asserting that- he- had been
awakened by the barking of. dogs,
and had seen the outline of a man
passing around the house, headed
for a nearby shelter, fie said that
he and his father went out to In
vestigate, and the Intruder walked
to the road, climbed Into an auto
mobile, and started off. When the
latter lltfled to obey an order to
halt, he continued, he fired at the
back of the csr. He claimed he
had no Idea of shooting any one,
and didn't know the driver of the
automobile waa his neighbor.
The elder Long corroborated
the main details of the shootlnx,
as related by the younger. He ad
mitted that he and other members
of his family had objected to
Creef's attentions to his dsughter,
but asserted he hsd no Idea Creef
was the mysterious nocturnal vis
itor. He said he carried a pistol
when' he went out to Investigate,
but that It was not loaded.
Miss Beadle Long, the girl In
the case, also testified, declaring
that she and Creef had Intended
to elope, but that their plans had
miscarried. She stated that she
was to carry a suit case of cloth
ing to a shelter near the side of
the house, that Creef was to meet
her there, and thst both were to
go on to the car. She said, how
ever, that she failed to keep the
< tryst, but offered no explanation.
Mr. Long and his sonnftsnied all j
knowledge of the Intended elope- 1
ntent.
' la passing Judgment. Trial Jus
tice P. O. Sawyer expressed the
opinion that neitfcrr the plaintiff1
nor the defendants had told ail
they knew about the affair, but
that they apparently had resumed
friendly relations and It was not
the disposition of the court to be
hard on them. He told the young
er Lon g that he was extremely
fortunate In not having to face s
homicide charge, and expressed
the opinion thst the proper time
to have halted the Intruder would |
have been while he was still on
the premises.
Hearing of the rase consumed i
practically the entire morning.

Married Men Given
j Warning Against
! Too Gay Doings
I
{ A warning that men generally,
and married men lu particular,
t might expect no clemency from
! the court If arrented lu company
j with certain young women of
doubtful character, living on
? North Pennsylvania avenue, wan
f given by Trial Justice Sawyer In
i recorder's court Monday inorniug,
'In dealing with the caxi- of one of
: the young women In queatlon.
' "If the police catch you lu com
pany with married men. I am go
ing to send you to Jail ? and I'm
I going to send them there, too,"
Judge Sawyer warned, in addre?H
1 irig the defendant, who waa up on
i a vagrancy charge. "You are
treading on dangerous ground. 1
have seen girls get In cars all
along that part of Pennaylvanla
avenue, and I've aeen them hiding
aloug there, too, waiting for fel
lows they had dates with. When
girla meet men away from home
like that, and when the men drop
them along the atreet somewhere,
instead of taking them home, ev
erybody Just about knows what Is
going on.
| "You can' make something or
yourself, If you will. You are
young, and I'm going lo give you
another chance," the trial Justice
concluded, "but I'll give you Jalr
warning. I'm asking the officers
right now to keep their eyes open,
and If they catch any of you glrla
?with married men, I want the po
"ltw Tff'tjrtnir tfipm or tn. and Ptt
give them what is coming to them.
1 I'll put them In Jail."
The young woman stated she
| wan 22 years old, hailed front New
1 Hern, and came here with a caml
, val about three years ago. She said
i she was married when she wan
j 17, and had been divorced by her
i husband about a month ago. She
admitted site had no employment,
aaitertlng that she had been un
able to work since having under
gone a recent operation at the
Kllzaheth City Hospital, but told
the cburt that she had bwn re
ceiving money from a stater In
New Bern. She admitted also that
she had been out with married
men, doclarlng siu- had committed
no Improprieties, and atatlng that
they had treated her "aa well ss
[anybody else."
In the course of the hearing.
I Judge Sawyer demanded to know
I why the police had singled out this
particular girl, Inatead of arrest
ing the whole crowd occupying
'the home la question. At thin
'Juncture, Prosecuting Attorney
i I/pHojt explained that the other*
| might readily claim they were
| supported by the masculine mcm
I bera of the family.
I Police Chief Holmes and Offl
I cers Houghton and Anderson tea- 1

i Washington, June 21. --Ton
?'tess may pass a few bills of im
! porta lice in the next ten days be
' fore adjournment but t li?? record
? on major baigiat ton lias been
completed. Mi-mberu of both*
i Houses will appeal In I h ?? country
: Willi coiuplainiH about the mini- .
mum of achievement for a lone 1
session. ,
| The uiiual cxcuw offered on u
session which begins In D?-ce tu
be r and automalirally end on
i March 4 la that there has not
been lime and that the demand for
an extra session la not pressing.
On that occasion. ConcrmH has
had plenty of time but nearly ev
erybody recognized the futility of
tr>ing lo gel agreement on dozens
of measures that would be the
subject of prnl racti'd debate if
'the adjournment date had not
'been set for the end of this mouth.
1 Thla session of Congress ha* ac
complished more than the^last but
| Ita outstanding characteristic In j
I still the number of conflicting
groups in both Houses. Some!
progrt-sa has been made toward j
party solidarity as the voter on
! various measures will n -veal, but
basically there Is the same ten
. dency toward individualism which
has for the last six yeara luade It
difficult to work out compromise;
I legislation and unless there is a1
i spirit of compromise, the Inevit- )
able result is Inaction.
| So most of the meritorious' pro- ,
posal*. or rather those which.
1 have a meritorious objective but j
an ambiguous wording or an ef
fect that antagonizes various in-,
tercets, have not gotten anywhere -
this session. And it would have!
doue no good to prolong the ses
! sion for there would have been i
no chance of agreement.
There till Is a bare possibility :
that a last minute accord on farm
legislation will be reached hut H
'la not expected. The truth Is*
j many elements In Congress would .
; prefer to leave matters as they
: are. for It leaves an abundance of
ammunition for the stump.
Administration leader* are nnt- i
urally apprehensive. They cannot
tell what effect the failure of Con
gress to pass an agricultural re
lief bill will have on the kind of
men named In the Republican
primaries, or possibly on the com
plexion of Congress itself. If busi
ness condition continue as they
sre today. The Northern Repub
llcam are confident few seals will
be^oat and that there may be
some gains. If farm conditions
grow no worse most of the losses
In the rural district to the Repub
lican party will be Inside rather
than outside, for there Is always
the chance that a situation such
aa evlnts today will Increase the
number pf Insurgents who make
party solidarity difficult of attain
ment.
1 On the whole. It is a curious
mixture of confidence and defiance
which runs through the present
Republican leadership. Their be
lief Is that the Haugen measure
can be defeated by argument on
i the stump In many sections of the
l country and that Congress will;
I merit approval for having passed
a tax reduction law and sundry
other measures such a the Wat i
son-Parker bill providing machin
ery for Industrial peace, and for
having adhered rigidly to budget
requirements.
This minimum, of course. Is by
no means Inconsequential, yet, |
compared to the last session of i
Congress It Is a better record.
Judged by the standard of 12 and
It years ago, when Congress
could point to a long series of
constructive measures this session
Is a conspicuous example of the
difficulties o? reconciling group In
terests. The wonder Is not that
so little has been passed but that
any measures have successfully
run the gamut of fllllbuster*. party
Insurgency snd bi-partisan coali
tions.

iv H I It now u lo ne.?l introduction
lo 1 1 i m audience, and therefor*
Judge Meekius reversed the usual
procedure and Introduced the
i audience lo the speaker.
In discussing science, Dr. Po
i I. sit declared It wan carrhil ou by
. ;i k roil p of seekers In tiod'a gar
den, studying 111* handiwork at
. vt-ry turn, and about to come
fa co to faco with tiod Himself.
II.- took th)> hi a lid that it wan no
discredit to science when science
adlulltod lack of knowledge of
many or iho vital things that man- \
kind wanted t?? know ? III fact,
rather wan In the credit or Hcieuce.
: since science ever wan seeking op
en inlndedly for the truth, and
ever Was discarding outworn theo- i
i r if -a.
In I bin connect inn, the speaker
polnt??d to the atom, long regard
? d as the smallest siibdivialon of
inutler, but now known in turn to
lie divided into cou ill Iena electrons,
; com parable to a solar system. He
said further that science had dla
earded the theory that all finlta
tilings wore tiie reault of foro?
'acting ?m matter, and now went
1 on farther than to define forCO
and matter u* separate eh inctif*.
Dr. Potcat, long a storm ceri
Im In I he light between the evo
hittonlsts and fundamentalists, di
plomatically avoided any direct
n-feronco lo controversial matters,
going no farther than to urge
Hiai the search after the truth be .
Viol rostrlcled. liu t proceed" freeijr
and rully, wherever it might lend.
Among many illuatratlona by
which he emphasised his argu
ments, the speaker told of an In
cident while he was spending a
few days at Nags Head. He went
Into the kitchen where he wU
slaying, he said, and found the
rook preparing crabs. "That'a a
. 'buster crab'," the cook told him*,
pointing to one that had burst
through his shell in the shedding
process, and remarking that he
had outgrown It. The cook re
marked thai, although a few
"liuater crabs" died ill escaping
from their too light shells the j
great majority aufvlved.
l>r. Potcat compared the "buat
er crab" to the great mass of hu
manity, declaring that while a few
probably would not survive the or
deal of facing the truth, and burst
ing from their too tight former
men tal attitudes, the overwhelm
ing majority would come through
all right. His obvious Inference
was that the dissemination df tfe#
truth should not be cheeked be
cause a few were unprepared lo
receive it.
