i Flower Show Huge Success —Rappahannock New* Photo/S. Latham TRICOLOR AND SWEEPSTAKES WINNER at the Rappahannock County Garden Club Flower Show held Sunday in Amissville was Grace Norvell of Flint Hill. She accured the most points in the artistic division of the show and was also outstanding in other categories. Mrs. Edward J. Hennessy, president of the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs, opened the Rappahannock County Garden Club Flower show Sunday afternoon, May 24. The theme of the show, The Garden Gate Swings Wide, led to a beautiful decor, and exhibitors all entered into the spirit of the show. The arrangements were magnificent, and there were 200 beautiful entries in the Horticulture class. The show was judged by Mrs. Charles Stuart DeHaven and Mrs. R. Carter Beverly Jr. of Winchester, Mrs. R. Kells Griesbach, Mrs. James F. McDonald, Mrs. D. A. Robinson, and Mrs. L. F. Tribble of Charlottesville. The clerks were Mrs. Virginia Smith, Mrs. Pauline Bruce, Mrs. Mary Frances Fannon and Mrs. Ruth Baumgardner. The club expresses its appreciation to all those who entered who were not club members, and to thank the Sperryville Emporium for the loan of the urns and Blandy Experimental Station for the loan of the gazebo. Ribbons were awarded to first, second, third and fourth place winners as follows: Class 1: South River Club of Front Royal, Madison Club of Madison, Rappahannock Proposed $3 Million Budget Goes To Public Hearing By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON fUppahaaaoefc Nn» Staff THlrr Tax payers will have a chance to express their support or opposition to the county’s proposed $3,158,801 budget for 1981-82 at the supervisors’ public hearing, next Monday morning, June 1, at 10 a.m. in the court house. Contemplated expenditures for the coming year represent an increase of approximately 15 percent over the current $2,752,160 budget. As proposed, the budget requires a tax rate of $5.70 per $100 on real estate and $1.40 on personal property. Personal property taxes, however, will be levied on licensed vehicles only, part of the reason for the proposed 29 percent tax increase on real estate over this year’s rate of $4.40. All but 45 cents of the proposed $1.30 tax hike is required to offset revenues lost by the supervisors’ decision earlier this year to drop the levy on farm machinery, livestock, household goods (previously taxed as personal property) and merchants capital. Without that action, the tax increase on real estate necessary to support the same level of proposed expenditures for 1961-82 would have been only ten percent The lion’s share of the Massie, The Rappahannock planning commissioners moved two applications for agricultural and forestal districts closer to action by the supervisors at last Wednesday’s “minimeeting.” Coming to order and adjourning within ten minutes, the commissioners voted to send John Dwyer’s application to the special ag district advisory committee for recommendation and to advertise Jim Massie’s application for public hearing. Massie’s request for an ag district includes 45 acres belonging to Hugh and Marjorie Exton as well as his’ own 757-acre Meadow Grove Farm. Both properties are located on Route 729 south of Ben Venue. In endorsing Massie’s application, the advisory committee noted Meadow Grove’s agricultural and historical significance. The farm was created by a land grant from King George III in 1739 with a parcel added by Lord Fairfax in 1749. Meadow Grove’s fields have been worked by five generations of the Massie family. It remains today "one of the most productive” livestock operations in the county, according to the advisory committee’s report Following a public hearing at next month’s regular meeting on June 17, the planning commissioners will recommend either approval or denial of the Massie’s ag district, including a provisoprohibiting subdivision development. ^Lamani OKLAHOMA! The rollicking cowboy musical will be presented this Friday and Saturday nights at the local high school, under the direction of Don Bomberger. Curtain time is 8 p.m. Jim McCullough as Ali Hakim bids Ado Annie Carnes, portrayed by Julie Burke, a fond! Farewell. Sent to the advisory committee for evaluation, John Dwyer’s request for a 1,050 ag district near Route 522 north of Massie’s Corner will come back to the planning commission for public hearing and recommendation, probably in July. Preservation Tool In essence a voluntary zoning category, agricultural and forestal districts are allowed as local option to encourage the preservation of farm and forest land. Districts must include a minimum of 500 contiguous acres which may be owned by one or more persons. In addition to the 500 acre ‘‘core,’’ the district may include other properties within a mile radius. After an application is made for an ag district, the request goes first to the advisory committee, comprised of supervisor representative Hubert Gilkey, VP1 extension agent Rap Owings, farmer and stockman Randall Updike, orchard is t Sam Snead, farmer James Falls, farmer and orchard ist Louis Moore, landowner and orchardist Jack Jenkins and landowner and civic activist Howard Hoschuh. The advisory committee is chaired by Gen. Hugh Exton. Following review and evaluation, by the advisory committee generally including an on-site inspection, the application comes back to the planning commission for public hearing and recommendation before being forwarded to the supervisors for a second public hearing and action. Ag Districts may be approved at the discretion of local government for any period between four and eight years. Qualifying land within a district is eligible for use value taxation whether or not the county has adopted a county-wide use value taxation ordinance. The same criteria on production significance, minimum parcel size and history in agricultural, forestal or horticultural use as apply under a use value taxation ordinance must also be met in an ag district in order to get land use taxation. If a landowner in an ag district receives use value taxation benefits and then changes his property to a non-qualifying use, roll-back taxes for up to a five year period—the difference between regular taxes and the tax under land use, plus 10 percent interest—become due immediately. Powers of local, state and federal government to expend funds for non-farm related purposes, to condemn property and to enact laws which interfere with farming are limited in an ag district. In addition, under a provision borrowed from Fauquier County, the supervisors plans to restrict subdivision development in districts. To date, the county has one approved ag district, 750 acres belonging to C. E. Johnson, Jr. of Sperryville. A second application from 25 individuals and one partnership for a 3,500-acre district in Gid Brown Hollow will come before the supervisors June 1 for public hearing. OSHA Reports Cites Safety Hazards Official findings of the Virginia Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have pinpointed a list of unsafe conditions in the Rappahannock County High School shop. The inspection, instigated by complaints from a parent whose daughter was injured in shop class, was made March 24. The report was received by registered mail three weeks ago and is posted in the teachers lounge at the high school. At the May school board meeting, superintendent William Bloomer projected that all violations of safety regulations would be corrected by May 18. He emphasized that none of the equipment involved would be used until the violations are removed. If the necessary parts for certain pieces of equipment couldn’t be obtained, Bloomer said he would request an extension of the time limits set by OSHA. “Your guess is as good as mine," the superintendent replied to a question from the school board on how much it will cost to take specified corrective actions. “I don’t know—it may be $500 and it may be $5,000.” OSHA deals only with employee safety and so the reports cites safety hazards to the shop instructors, not to students. The report noted that two radial saws do not have the lower portions of blades guarded, "creating a hazard where employee* may be stuck by the unguarded blade,” and gave a limit of 30 days for corrections. According to the report, electrical equipment in the paint shop finishing room "is not the explosion proof type thus creating the hazard of fire and explosion.” Again, a time limit of 30 days was set for corrections. Also under a 30 day limit for corrections, OSHA cited welding booths without adequate ventilation, flexible cord* used as a substitute foi fixed wiring, mechanica! ventilation for painl operations which does noi run at all times that spra} painting is done and three saws without provisions U prevent them froir automatically restarting upor restoration of power. A ten day limit was giver to correct two saws whicl don’t “return gently to the starting position,” and foi (Continued on Page 2) county’s budget, $2,189,486 or 69 percent goes to run Rappahannock’s public school system. For the coming year, the increase in school expenditures is approximately nine percent For the first time, Rappahannock leads surrounding jurisdictions in raises proposed for school employees with 12.4 percent, bringing the starting salary perience to $11,540, with a top salary of $16,681 with 17 years experience. Also for the first time this year, the school board has approved partial payment of hospitalization premiums for all school employees. Although there were no speakers opposed to proposed school expenditures at the required public hearing on the budget that was approved earlier by the school board, the supervisors’ slashed $89,100 to reach the current $2,189,486, reducing the bottom line instead of lopping off separate categories. Although the supervisors left the school board the option of how to absorb the reduction, they strongly suggested the difference be made up primarily by holding raises to ten percent and eliminating payment of hospitalization premiums. But the school board chose to keep the benefits and pay scale intact and take the loss in other areas. According to chairman E. P. Luke, the supervisors wanted pay raises for teachers and other school employees held to ten percent to correspond with salary hikes for the rest of the countys employees. An examination of the proposed budget shows, however, that many county workers will be getting in excess of 12.4 percent in the coming fiscal year. Some Getting 13.5 Percent The commonwealth attorney. his office assistant, deputies for • the commissioner of revenue and treasurer and sheriff s department deputies will all get approximately 13.5 percent increases in accord with a ruling from the state compensation board. The sheriffs raise in the proposed budget is nine percent bringing his salary to $20,250 while both the commissioner of revenue’s and treasurer's salary will be $20,475, an increase of five percent over their current compensation. (Continued on Page 2) In Halloween Barn Fires i i - ■ —■. — ■— * Martin F ound Guilty Of 5 Arson Counts By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Neon Suff Writer Robert Clarence “Pete” Martin was found guilty in circuit court last Friday on five separate counts of arson involving the Halloween night barn burning at C. E. Johnson’s Sperryville farm laatywar. After deliberating only an hour and a half, the jury brought back the guilty verdicts, sentencing Martin to serve two years on each count. Although Martin took the stand in his own defense to claim innocence, it wasn’t enough to counter testimony from a prosecution witness who swore he saw the accused climbing over a backyard fence in the direction of the Johnson farm carrying a can or jug shortly before the fire broke out and then later spotted him returning at a run—minus the container—just as fire alarms sounded. In addition, defense witnesses placed Martin in Sperryville 45 minutes earlier than he said he was dropped off in town, creating doubts about his alibi. Questions were also raised, however, about the reliability of evidence offered as the result of a plea bargain from one of the prosecution’s chief witnesses. Facing felony charges of breaking and entering and grand larceny, Albert Gatewood volunteered a confession allegedly made to him by Martin sometime in December while the two were playing pool at Hampton Inn near Washington. In exchange for Gatewood’s testimony, he was promised a reduction in the charges he faces. As the first prosecution witness, C. E. Johnson Jr., testified that family property destroyed inr the Halloween night fire included a 50-footby-50-foot horse barn “stuffed full of hay,” a grainery holding S00 hay bales and two antique wagons, a pump house, and a large 50-foot-by- 100-foot barn with a New Holland baler, antique hay loader, old sprayer, elevator, hay wagon and 5,000 hay bales. According to Johnson's estimates, total value of the loss was approximately $110,000. Reporting that he carried insurance on the property with Rappahannock Home Mutual, Johnson said he’d collected only $13,000. Sometime* Used As Shelter In response to questions from commonwealth attorney Douglas Baumgardner. Johnson noted without his prior knowledge or approval, the barns have sometimes served as temporary shelter and sleeping quarters for transient migrant laborers and run-away boys. According to Johnson, who has been farming steadily since 1934. all of the hay stored in and outside the barns was well-seasoned, between one and two years old. In addition, he said that none of the buildings were wired for electricity or contained any electrical appliances. The only power outlet in the vicinity, he testified, was a night light on a telephone pole located at least six feet from the closest structure. In addition, Johnson said, there were no liquid flammables, including gasoline, stored in or near any of the four buildings, r' Recalling Halloween night, Johnson said he was awakened at 2:15 a.m. as he slept in his home one-half mile away. “I’m not sure whether it was the sirens or the light,” he said, adding that all the buildings appeared to be equally engulfed by flames that reached 100 to 150 feet high. As Johnson remembered the night of the fire, it was clear and chilly, temperatures hovering around 50 degrees with no rainfall, storm activity or lightning. Asked For Job Asked if he knew the defendant, Johnson testified that he'd never had any “direct contact” with Martin. He explained that he’d received two telephone calls from Martin’s wife who first called him in February, 1980, looking fof a house and employment for her husband. When she called back a few weeks later for his answer. Johnson said he told her that he'd decided not to rent his (Continued on Page 4) Baccalaureate This Sunday The 31st annual baccalaureate service for Rappahannock County High School will be held Sunday.

Total general government administration shows a percentage increase of 20 percent, double that of the school budget, climbing from $124,969 to $150,836. A breakdown shows increases of $5,777 for the treasurer’s office, $388 for the registrar’s office, $750 for electoral board and officials, $18,988 for the commissioner of revenue’s office, $450 for auditor, $9,348 for the board of supervisors and $166 for clerk to the board of supervisors. The only reduction under general government administration in the proposed 1981-82 budget comes in a $10,000 decrease from board of assessors’ contracted appraisal services. Appraisal services will still carry $5,000, however, due to the supervisors’ decision to delay implementation of the new assessment values until 1982-83. Decrease For Sheriff Projected expenditures for the sheriffs department, operating for the second year with county-owned cars, shows a reduction of five percent or S6.S08. The largest percentage increase in the proposed county budget, 371 percent, comes for volunteer fire departments, originating from the probability of the county having to pay for dispatch service for the first time. The projected $10,000 contribution brings the total for volunteer fire departments to $11,500. Also for the first time, the proposed budget contains a total of $5,000 for a building inspection program, a state requirement that the county has ignored in the past. —Rappahannock News Photo/Daphne Hutchinson BASEBALL STAND-OUTS awarded trophies at last Tuesday’s RCHS athletic banquet included (left to right! most valuable JV player Jeff Porter, most valuable varsity player Vincent “Pops” Aylor and most improved varsity player Wayne Atkins.

First, if you are over 35. a physical exam with an EKG is a good idea. Secondly, regardless of age, one should start out gradually At first, walk for a distance, then jog. Also make sure you walk or "cool down" before stopping Another important consideration is your shoes The running shoes of today are expensive, but most are worth the expense Some have extremely excellent shock absorbtion qualities which will save much wear and tear on your feet and legs (and perhaps save you the expense of a trip to the doctor) Also they will probably last longer, thus saving you again Remember, joggers, be good to your feet while you are good to your body They both must last you a lifetime.

The Rappahannock County School bus driven by Downing Hitt of Castleton was traveling west when it was struck by a 79 Ford pickup operated by William Allan Hale of Sperryville, according to Trooper Baines. Hale was attempting to make a left turn onto Route 211 from Route 622 and struck the bus. There were no injuries and Hale was charged with failing to yield the right of way. Baines estimated damage of each vehicle at S500. May 13 on Route 642 near Amissville a single vehicle crash occurred. Winona Sue Ammons of Front Royal failed to negotiate a curve and flipped her 68 Dodge van, according to Trooper Baines. Ammons and her sister, Diane Elizabeth Ammons, were taken to Fauquier Hospital by the Amissville Rescue Squad. Charges are pending.

Washington, Va 22747 HOURS: 8:30 a m. to 5 30 pm. Mon -Fri Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation Vi Public Support If we read the vital signs correctly, the long delayed building program to relieve overcrowding at Rappahannock High School is again in critical condition. Only massive transmissions of public support will save it. Although not a single individual spoke out against excessive school expenditures at the supervisors public hearing on the 1981-82 school budget, the supervisors still felt compelled to perform $89,100 worth of surgery. And during the operation, not a single member of the school board protested. At the same time, however, only one person took the time to attend the session and voice support of an adequate budget that provides quality education for Rappahannock’s children. Where were all the other parents and friends of public education who profess to care? The budget was cut because no one bothered, no one made the effort to persuade the supervisors that every penny was needed. No one bit the bullet and said yes, we know this will mean a tax increase but we must improve our schools. The supervisors believe that their first priority is keeping Rappahannock’s tax rate the lowest in the state. We too want to see taxes at a minimum but if that means keeping the educational program at a minimum also, then taxes will have to go up. With an actual rate half or less of what is levied in neighboring counties, we can afford a little increase. We’re not suggesting tennis courts, swimming pools and electives to fit every student’s interest or whim but we do think that more than 20 some students should have the opportunity to take art, that more than one class section of eighth graders should be able to take history, that physical education should be offered past the tenth grade, that academically oriented youngsters should have the option of honors English or a second foreign language." These aren’t frills—at least not in other school systems. The school board, which has given lukewarm support at best to capital outlay in the past, has interpreted the cuts in this year’s budget as orders from the supervisors to drop plans for an RCHS building program. School board members keep talking about the mood of the county as justification to cut back on something that never really got started. What mood of the county? We don’t recall anyone besides the members of the two boards speaking out against school expenditures during the past year. Obviously, the opponents of school spending are doing their work behind the scenes. Friends of education are not going to be successful if they try the same tactic. Supporters of the capital outlay program at RCHS must go public. They must attend meetings and emphasize their commitment to providing quality education. it won t neip to go to tne scnooi board. The majority of the members there have already decided that the “mood of the county” blocks forward progress on a building program to relieve overcrowding in a high school built for 285 students and serving 459. If the condition of the building program is to be reversed before it reaches the terminal stage, people must appeal directly to the supervisors. They can start at Monday’s public hearing on the county’s 1981-82 budget with a request that $6,000 for architectural fees be restored to the school budget so that progress on capital outlay can continue in the coming year. If transfusions of public support don’t start immediately, the building program is dead. —Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hntchioaon OUTSTANDING PERFORMERS in girls basketball received trophies at last Tuesday’s RCHS sports banquet.

Under questioning from the commonwealth attorney, he described the location of the four building complex as one-quarter mile from Frank Coffey’s house in Sperryville with the defendant’s home on the opposite side of the street about 150 feet closer to the village’s blinker light. Dennis Ralls, 33, who works for Johnson, and Johnson’s daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, both testified that when they first observed the fire, it engulfed all four buildings equally. State police arson investigator Mike O’Conner said he believed the fire was of multi-origin, that it “started in more than one place.’’ Although he couldn’t cite an exact cause of the blaze, he ruled out natural and accidental origins. O’Conner who has a BA degree in criminology, three arson training sessions at the state police academy, an arson course at William and Mary, periodic seminars and in-service training and experience in over SO arson investigations as qualifications as an expert witness, said he’d eliminated faulty wiring as a possible cause. The insulation on die wire leading to the night light, the only electrical power anywhere near the bams, was burned from an external source, he said. He reported that he found no evidence of a heat source in the bam and that on the night in question, there were no storms or lightning in the Sperryville vicinity. “There was no chance of internal combustion” from green hay, he testified, noting that the bales stored in and around Johnson’s bams were one to two years old. According to experts, O’Conner added, after three weeks, it’s impossible for green baled hay to generate internal heat. From an examination of powder left by the fire at opposite ends of the barn complex and testimony of eyewitnesses who said the barns were burning equally when first seen, O’Conner concluded that the fire started from “two sources, maybe more.” He added that he found no evidence of cigarette butts or matches to indicate possible accidental causes. O’Conner said he questioned Martin who was seen in Sperryville late Halloween night and who also was first to report the fire. According to O’Conner, Martin said he’d been at Hampton Inn until 1:30 or 2 a.m., caught a ride with Gertrude “Frenchie” Foster to the Corner Store, bought a drink from the soda machine and then walked to his residence where he spotted flames at the top of the hill. Since he had no telephone, O’Conner reported Martin as saying, the defendant went to Frank Coffey’s house where he saw a light and asked Coffey, a member of the volunteer fire department, to report the blaze. Shove Si An Hoar O’Conner said he questioned Martin as to his contacts with Ned Johnson. According to the arson investigator, Martin replied that he’d asked for employment and discussed a job with Johnson who offered him $1 an hour in wages plus housing. ‘‘He said Mr. Johnson could take his $1 an hour and fchove it!” O’Conner reported. Under questioning from defense attorney Lee Albrecht, O’Conner acknowledged that he couldn’t name an exact cause of the fire, either natural or unnatural. He agreed that a single origin fire would have spread to include all four buildings eventually. The arson investigator explained that the burning of the barn complex was too complete to dig underneath the most heavily charred area for evidence of a liquid accellerant. According to O'Conner, the highly flammable structures and their contents probably burned within 20 to 30 minutes. As his best estimate, he judged the fire started between 1:30 and 1:45 a.m. Alleged Confession Albert Gatewood testified while playing pool with Martin sometime in early December at Hampton Inn, he related the story of his recent arrest for grand larceny and breaking and entering. According to Gatewood, Martin responded, “ ‘That ain’t nothing!’ and then he got to bragging about what he’d done in the past.” Gatewood said he d remembered seeing Martin in Sperryville on the night of the fire and so asked him if he’d burned Johnson’s barns. ’’Damn right I burned the m-down!” Gatewood testified the defendant replied. In response to questioning from Baumgardner, Gatewood explained that he offered his testimony as part of a plea agreement in exchange for a reduction in charges lodged against him and recommendation on sentencing. He added that he’d received no promise of a reward for his testimony, that he hadn’t applied for the reward offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of foe arsonist. (At last report, donations to the reward fund from various individuals, groups, businesses and the county board of supervisors totalled approximately $10,000.) Under cross examination, Gatewood said the first person he spoke to about Martin’s admission was his attorney, that he talked about a possible reduction in charges as an exchange for his testimony. Asked if he had “a fairly long history of involvement with the law,” Gatewood replied that he didn’t think he’d ever been convicted of a felony. “Are you aware of your reputation for truth and veracity in the Sperryville community?” Albrecht asked. “It depends on who it is. Some people don’t like me,” Gatewood answered. Replying to Baumgardner, he added that his prior criminal offenses involved only trespassing. Asked specifically by Albrecht if he’d ever been barred from Hampton Inn, Gatewood replied that he had not. Seen Running C. D. Fincham, 16, said he’d been riding around with friends Halloween night and had been dropped off at the church in Sperryville to be picked up by his parents at midnight. When his parents didn’t arrive, Fincham said he walked to the Corner Store to buy a drink from the soda machine and saw Pete Martin going by Frank Coffey’s shop. “He looked like he was carrying a jug or a cad,” said Fincham, adding that he saw Martin climb over the fence. On his return walk from the Corner Store, Fincham said he again saw Martin, this time running through Coffey’s backyard. “I don’t remember if he had anything in his hand.” According to Fincham, he saw no signs of a fire on his trip to the drink machine but noticed the sky was illuminated on his way bade to the church lot. As he entered the lot, his parents arrived simultaneously with the sounding of the fire sirens, according to Fincham’s testimony. He reported that he told his boss, Mrs. Frances Eldred, the following Monday that he thought Pete Martin was responsible for the fire but didn’t report his information to the authorities until a month later. “I didn’t want to get involved with it...I was scared by it,” Fincham said in explanation of the delay. While on the witness stand Friday, Fincham gave his testimony in a hushed, forced voice, appearing frightened and uneasy. He emphasized that he was certain it was Martin whom he saw Halloween night sometime between 1 and 2 a.m. In response to cross examination, he noted that he was able to see Martin running to the road almost next door to the Coffey house from light left on in the living room and from light in the church parking lot. Frances Eldred testified that Fincham told her on November 3 that Martin was responsible for the Halloween fire but that she didn’t question him because she assumed the information was gossip or hearsay. After she read in the Rappahannock News that the defendant had been arrested and charged, Eldred said, she passed on Fincham’s assertion to * deputy Steve Crossman who asked her to talk again with the young man. Eldred said she did, following up the conversation with a meeting with the commonwealth attorney. Next, she said, Fincham met with Baumgardner. Inconsistencies In Time Gertrude Foster said she left Hampton Inn with Martin at around 1 a.m., letting him off at the Comer Store approximately five minutes later. As she turned to go home, Foster said, she saw Martin walking towards Culpeper along the side of Route 522. In response to questions from Albrecht, she said she didn’t recall seeing Martin buy a drink from the soda machine, that after being let out he walked across the street from the Corner Store and started home. Testifying that he was riding around with friends after leaving Hampton Inn on the night of the fire, Gary Lee Bright, 17, reported that he first saw Martin in front of the defendants house at around 1:10 a.m. Returning through Sperryville after a drive up Jenkins Hollow, the group was flagged down by Martin in front of Coffey’s house after they’d spotted, the fire, according to Bright. With the defendant accompanying them, he said, they walked up to the fire scene and watched for about ten minutes before returning to the church parking lot. Defense witness John Jenkins, who was in the car with Bright, testified that he left Hampton Inn at around 12:30, drove up Old Hollow and then went through Sperryville where he saw Martin walking down Route 522 toward his house. On his return to Sperryville, he said he’d walked to the fire scene with Martin and stayed until the fire trucks arrived. Frank Coffey said Martin knocked onhis door and asked him to report the fire at 2 a.m. When he arrived at the scene with the fire trucks a few minutes later, Coffey, a volunteer firemen, said the barns were "pretty well on the ground" with .all four buildings “muchly burned the same." He added that he saw Martin later at the fire site helping to control the flames. Reputation As Liar Asked by Albrecht from Albert Gatewood’s reputation for truth and veracity in the Sperryville community, Coffey replied ‘‘Not very good. I wouldn’t trust him.** The defense attorney posed the same question to all the witnesses he called to the stand. “I wouldn’t trust him,” said Gary Lee Bright, repeating Coffey’s answer. “You can decide that by looking through the records of the court!” John Jenkins responded. “I don’t think he has a reputation for being truthful.” Gatewood’s reputation for truth? “Not good," said Joey Pullen. Taking the stand in his own behalf, Martin, who said he’s lived in Rappahannock since his release from the service in 1976, testified that Foster let him out in Sperryville at 1:45 by the clock in the Corner Store where he bought a drink from the soda machine. He said he walked to his house, went around back to the outhouse for 10-15 minutes, finished his drink and was coming back around the front of his home when he saw that Johnson’s barns were on fire and turned in the alarm at Coffey’s. Martin swore that he'd never seen Albert Gatewood at Hampton Inn except outside since Gatewood was barred from the premises after being caught stealing two fifths of wine. He maintained he hadn't seen Gatewood since last August “1 wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him," Martin added. Stole Pig Knuckles Millie Cebula, proprietor of Hampton Inn, corroborated that Gatewood had been barred from her establishment. “He stole a gallon of pig knuckles off the counter!" she said, adding that she’d also caught Gatewood “breaking into the pool table, trying to get money out.” Cebula maintained that Gatewood has not been in the restaurant since before Halloween, at least not during her presence. She added that she was generally on the premises during business hours. Under cross examination by Baumgardner, Cebula acknowledged that she’s barred about 35 people from her establishment during the past three years. Asked if she’d had a lot of trouble with customers she replied, “Not for stealing.” She also admitted to having difficulties with barred people coming back on the place, adding that she’d had to get warrants for trepass “a couple of times.” Asked about Hampton Inn’s hours of operation, she (Continued on Page 8)

Unfavorable To this typical juror, circumstantial evidence has an unfavorable Connotation, Baumgardner acknowledged. He maintained, however, that most courtroom decisions are based largely on circumstantial evidence. As an example, he related, if an individual sees two men in a field, one with a gun pointing at the other, hears a shot, sees smoke from the gun barrel and sees one of the two men fall, the witness assumes he has direct evidence that the first man shot the second. But that’s circumstantial evidence, Baumgardner told the jury. The witness saw certain events which led to conclusion that the first man had shot the second, he explained. Returning to specifics, Baumgardner pointed out die 45 minute difference in the time witnesses say they saw Martin in Sperryville and the time at which the defendant said he arrived. He em phasized that C. D. Fine ham had spotted Martin walking toward Johnson’s barns with a jug in his hand and later returning at a run minutes later without the jug. The commonwealth attorney maintained that Martin’s unsolicited comment to the arson investigator about shoving Johnson’s $1 an hour wages showed an motive of petty revenge. “But for the grace of God, there wasn’t a human being in the barn that night,” he added. Baumgardner recalled that the arson investigator had ruled out natural or accidental causes for the fire and described the arson Martin was charged with as “a violation of man’s right to live in peace and quiet...free from fear.” “The circumstances tell a story loud and clear...There’s no reasonable set of facts that fit the circumstances and is consistent with the defendant’s innocence,” Baumgardner concluded.

With charges of property destruction lodged against Martin, such accusations have no bearing on the case, he argued. He also objected to Baumgardner’s statement that Martin was seen cross the Coffey’s fence in direction of Johnson’s barns, maintuning that there had been no testimony given indicating that Coffey’s fence bordered Johnson’s property. When the jury returned to the court room, Judge Shore Robertson reminded the seven women and five men of his earlier instructions that final arguments of the attorneys were not to be considered as evidence. Na Smoking Gib “Do we see the smoking revolver here?” asked Albrecht, beginning his final arguments. “No,” he replied, pointing out that no testimony as to what caused the fire had been given. It’s not the defense’s burden to explain how the fire started, he said, emphasizing that with arson charges, all fires are presumed to be of natural or accidental origin unless proved otherwise. According to Albrecht, Martin was seen running frorn Coffey’s following the defendant’s report of the fire, evidenced by Fincham’s 'hearing fire sirens immediately afterwards. Albrecht recalled that all the witnesses agreed Albert Gatewood couldn't be trusted and pointed Out that Gatewood had lied on the Stand in saying he’d never been barred from Hampton Inn. He described the plea bargin made by the commonwealth attorney as “absurd over-reaching to relieve the political pressure" occasioned by the fires. The only time Martin was place the scene of the fire was when he was helping to fight the flames, Albrecht added. The five arson indictments involve essentially one fire, he continued. Far from allowing a reasonable doubt of Martin’s guilt, the lack of evidence as to the fire’s origin creates “total doubt that demands he be found not guilty,” Albrecht said. Returning to Gatewood’s testimony on Martin’s confession, the defense attorney said “Albert Gatewood worked out a deal with the commonwealth. He wants the reward and he wants out of his charge!” Responding to attacks on Gatewood’s credibility, Baumgardner maintained that if Martin was going to admit the arson to anyone, it would be an associate and friend, “someone like Albert Gatewood.” “As long as we're talking about credibility, what happened during that 45 minute time period?’’ Baumgardner continued, maintaining that the defense’s own witnesses had disproved Martin’s alibi. According to the commonwealth attorney, the accused went to his house, picked up a container, walked through Coffey’s lot, through Johnson’s fields and set fire to the barns. After hearing testimony from 10 a.m. on, the jury retired to consider a verdict at about 7 p.m. A little over an hour later, they returned to find Martin guilty on five counts Of arson, sentencing him to serve two years on each. Judge Robertson set final sentencing for July 13 when he will rule following study ofa pre-sentence report whether terms are to run concurrently* or consecutively.
