RIILE WAS MORE THAN ROMATIIC
LOVER; IS TAKEN BACK 10 PRISON
TO ANSWER FOR BOGUS CHECKS
—;IT}:; supposed romantic and happy
marriage of Ralph B. Rule, who is said
to have represented himself to be an
army officer on furlough from Camp
Meade, Maryland, and Miss Gladys
Bartlett, a pretty youag girl of this
county, has developed into a pathetic
tragedy. ‘
Rule is now in the custody of agents
of the United States Department of
Justice, arrested in Atlanta yester
day afternoon, while his young wife is
on her way back to her home in
Crigp county in company with her fa
ther, who rode all night last night
from Cordele to Atlanta by automo
bile in response to a telegram from
the girl asking that he come to hevr
assistance. Mr. Bartlett left Cordele
last night about 10 o’clock. |
Rule, it develops, was arrested and
is held by the government agents ac
cused of having defrauded many pea-f
ple by passage of bogus checks while
he posed as a regular army officer..
It develops fnrther that he was pa-‘
roled from the Fedenral penitentiary
in Atlanta last November, since he
had been sentenced to serve two years
for stealing automobiles in Wash
ington, D. C. The parole, it is gaid, |
will be revoked and Rule gent ba(:l'.!
to serve the remainder of his 'sen-‘
tence, seventeen months, |
When arrested Rule was regist‘ererl‘
at the Piedmont hotel as “Leonard P‘.‘
Myers,” and was wearing an army of
ficer's uniform, minus any insigma of,
rang. He, however, had a st of cap
tain’s barsg in his pocket and confes
sed to having posed as an army offi
cer,
It is charged by J. T. Bartlett, fa-i
ther of the girl, well know farmer of
the county, that thee marriage of his
daughter to Rule was a “frame up”’
and that H. W. Bass, familiarly known
as Jones Bass, an uncle of Bartlett,
who lives near Warwick, was the per
son who arranged the affair between
the adventurer and his daughter. In
an interview with a Dispatch reporter
Mr. Bartlett stated that he did not
know of the intentions of Rule and
his daughter until it was too late to
prevent their marriage. He said that
his daughter left home on Monday cf
JOE SMITH VICTIM OF BULLET
FIRED BY JOHN WALKER, AN
OTHER NEGRO, ON BUTLER
RAY'S FARM
Joe Smith, a negro, was shot and
almost instantly killed last night
about 9 o'clock by John Walker, an
other negro, the difficulty occurring
on the farm of Mr. Butler Ray, about
four miles northwest of the city
Both negroes were employed as la
horers on Mr. Ray's farm. The
trouble grew out of jealousy over a
negro woman, hoth of the negroes
insisting that they were going 1«
take her to some sccial affair among
the negroes to be held several mil»
away.
IFollowing a heated argument
Smith drew a revolver and a fight for
possession of the weapon followed
Walker finally wringing it from the
hands of Smith and firing on him
Qeveral shots were fired, the first
taking effect in Smith’s left breast
The other shots were fired as Walk
er ran from the scene.
Those who witnessed the shootine
secin to think that Walker was
justified in firing on his opponent
Sheriff Noble went outl this morning
in an attempt to place Wallker under
arrest, but the negro had left the
farm and could not be locate. How
ever, it is expected that his arrest
will be effected this afternoon.

W. D. DAL E, Manager
THE CORDELE DISPATCH
the past week to go to the home of
Bass, and that he learned later that
Rule had come to Cordele the day be
fore and had secured an automobile
to take him from Cordele to the Bass
home and that h'e remained as the
guest of Bass until the day of the mar
riage on Thursday of the past week.
It developg in the statements of Mr.
Bartlett that his uncle, Bass, was
garving a sentence in the Federal
penitentiary in Atlanta for moonshin
ing at the same time that Rule was
serving hig sentence for autcmobile
stealing and that they became friend
ly. This is why Rule came from At
lanta to visit Bass, according to Bart
lett. When Bass was in the peniten
tiary, further gtates Bartlett, his
daughter, Miss Gladys, sent her pic
ture to him and it was in this manner
that Rule happened to come in pos
session of her picture. Rule, it is
stated, wrote all the letters for Bass
to his wife at Warwick while he was
in the penitentiary, and Misg Bartlett
did the correspending for Mrs. Bass
betweten her and her hushand.
“I had never heard of Rule before
in my life,” said Mr. Bartlett, “until
just before he was married to my
daughter, They had gcne to Cor
dela to get the Jicense and
be married and there was no
way in which I could prevent
the occurrence then. I felt a fear
that my daughter had been persuaded
into the marriage with Rule under
false pratenses, that he had repre
sented himself in the wrong. light tc
her, and, 'ioo, 1 was very uncertain of
the character ¢f the man.for I kinew
nothing about him. Hoping, how
ever, that my misgivings wer'e un
warranted and that everything wonld
turn out all right, I decided not to in
terfere after the marriage had alr ady
takan place.”
Agents of the Department cf Jus
tice lccated at Jacksonvilie and At
lanta have been in communication
with officers and others to obtain
information concerning Rule and
his wheveabouts. It is learned that
he passted bogus checks on s veral
business men in Cordele and Warwick
