Four people were caught lash Thursday night removing apples from the orchard of Wade H. Massie, Jr., at Massie’a Corner.
In jail at present is Jack Maid* en, and out on bail are Mrs. Mar* tha Weaver Maiden^ and Fred Leake. The other member of the party was a Weaver boy, brother of Mrs. Maiden. He was released and returned to his home in Cul* peper county the following morn* ing.
Apples had been missing and the men on the Massie farm had been on the look-out for possible raid* ing parties.
As Ray Clatterbuck and Charlie Williams, the latter colored, both; workmen on the Massie place, were returning home late Wednesday night, they noticed a car in the orchard. Flashing their spot* light on the car, they got the license number and started for. Washington to get the sheriff. The car followed them as far as Massie’s Cornet and "then turned and went 'back.
Sheriff Critzer and Trooper W. Buntin accompanied the men back to the orchard and, with Mr. Mas* fie, they came upon the four members of the "apple gathering** party, who had returned to their work in the orchard.
Following the statement of the boy, young Weaver, the group (Leake, and Mr. and Mrs. Maiden) admitted that they had made trips to the orchard on previous oc* casions, and that they had been peddling the apples, but they reported that some of the apples were stored at their place in Culpeper county, near Catalpa.
Mr. Massie was able to recover the apples which had been stored. It is estimated that the raiders got 47 bushels Monday night and 22 bushels Tuesday night.
Trial Justice B. M. Miller has disqualified himself and the trial is awaiting the naming of another
