The girls accepted, telling th men in the machine to put them ou jit the church. The men drove pas the church, on through town, to point four miles out on the Greer wood road, where the deed was com rnitted. After bringing the girls bac to the city and putting them on th public square, the car and men dis appeared. As soon as the j^rime was known Sheriff Burts.-.^jre^.'

Greenwood, March 15.?Ueputj ".Sheriff "Cairn and Assistant Deputj Brace of Abbeville left here at noor today for Columbia with two younc white men of Greenwood, Jim Wal lace and Lee Bourne, in custody charged with criminal assault. The alleged victims are two young wonun of Abbeville. It is alleged thai the young men were riding arounc Abbeville late yesterday afternoor in an automobile and seeing the twc girls asked them to take a ride. The girls said they were on their way tc -' 1.

It was stated that it would be inadvisable to bring the two men back to Abbeville for preliminary hearing:. Hence their being sent to Co-rambia. Both young men deny al] knowledge of the affair and say thai ?he wrong men have been arrested. The two young white men arrestee in Greenwood late Sunday night or "the charge of criminal assault were brought to Columbia late vesterdav -.-and lodged in the state penitentiary "While everything was quiet in Ab' Seville, where the alleged crime was . C .T Rrupp. dprmtv mar :sha3, and T. L. Cann. deputy sherifl *of Abbeville county, acted on the ad-vice of the sheriff and brought the "prisoners to Columbia. A Ford truck was driven from 'Greenwood to Abbeville Sunday afternoon, which carried the name of the Greenwood plumbing shop which owns it. this being the place Wallace and Bourne work. One of the young women also learned, it is said, that -the name of her assailant was Wallace. Mr. Bruce knows Wallace personally, and says he saw him on the streets of Abbeville Sunday night lifter the girls had been brougrht back near their homes, and talked with "Wallace for a few moments. These facts led to the arrest. One of the young women was in /such a physical condition yesterday Ttiominp that she could not be brought to Greenwood to see the young men. The other girl managed to defend herself. It is probable that the girls will be brought to Columbia in an effort to establish identification. The girls are about 16 years of age .-and belons: to prominent families. rSunday afternoon late they were or their way to church when a trucfc passed them, and as is the custoir in small towns, the young men ii the truck invited the girls to ride They protested, it is said, but finalh .agreed to ride to the church whicl' WOO < Tg\r\rl /lief on/w? ^ v?cio el icotaiivr uv??> il ciic: i Arriving at the church the driver re fused to stop, sroinjr into the countrj instead, where they were kept some time.

SMITH CONTINUES FIFTY ODD CASES j Attorney Raises Point Tiiat Defend- ! ant Was Indicted Under Act Repealed by Volstead Measure. The State. Florence, March 16.?A ruling of 1 importance was made by Judge H. A. M. Smith in the federal court here ' 5 onnac nyH I U '-OUiiy , iiJLi CCl/lu^; taoco i-.iiv.u been brought up for violation of the prohibition laws, and as a result of r.his ruling some 50 odd such cases have been continued until the next term of court. The ruling followed a motion by J. Monroe Spears of Darlington to ? ; quash the indictment against J. H. Windham for operating an illicit dis- j. tillery, on the ground that the act C was alleged to have been committed " subsequent to January 18, the date 1 on which the national prohibition amendment became effective. Wind; ham was indicted under the old stat utes which Judge Smith ruled had ' ' ' 1 TT.1.4 1 4. - been repealed oy me v oisieau au,i accordingly he granted the motion to > quash the indictment. It developed then that there were i some 50 or more similar cases on the : docket to be tried at this term of the i United States court. All of these ' i cases were ordered continued. The . defendants, however, will be held : pending- the drawing of new indict-j i ments under the Volstead act. It j . was said todav bv those interested in I *" I - the matters of the court that the j * Windham case was likely to De taKen i ? to the circuit court of appeals and j : possibly to the supreme court. 1 Under the old revenue laws theI - penalty in the case of illicit distill-1 ? ing was not less than 30 days or i more than two years imprisonment, r and a fine of not less than $100 or 1 more than $1,000. Under the new . act, the penalty for distilling is not more than $1,000 fine or six months imprisonment. There is no minimum. It is understood that Judge McDowell of the district court of West Viri srinia recently rendered a decision j w just the opposite of the ruling made J . by Judge Smith today. Attorneys practicing in the United j e State court, who have been retained f in the numberless liquor cases clog3 ging the docket are very much interi. ested in the developments in court tot day and the ruling of Judge Smith I e has been generally discussed. The I a difference in the punishment provid- ] ?.d by the old and the new laws is one >f the chief points of discussion in j . onnection with continuance of the j ases. . . j i? Mrs. Mattie T.
