RUTH ELDER IN LIMELIGHT AGAIN Old Indictment Against Aviatrix For “Misconduct” Dug Un In Georgia By James L. Kilgallen, INS Stuff Correspondent Now York. Jan. 4.—" Malicious spitework" was the indignant assertion toi day of Miss Ruth Elder, attractive aviatrix, when asked to comment upon the sudden dragging up of an old chaige of misconduct on her part with I'l Shuford Jenkins, an evangelist, in Clayton. Ga., several years ago. The charge is absolutely false, she leclaied over long distance telephone | from Canton, Ohio, where she is up--1 peaiing in vaudi ville. "It was Just an innocent automo--1 bile ride," she said. "Just because I i am in the public eye somebody lias letermined to ruin me." Information lias just come out that 1 Miss Eldei was served witli a warj rant in Al'anta, G t., on December 20, i last, as het train stopped for a few minutes In the station there. The warrant was serv'd on Miss Elder in Atlanta by Sheriff J. L. BkhaiJ of Rabun county. Georgia, a mountain country of which Clayton is the county seat. He said the warrant was baaed on an indictment returned by the Rabun county grand jury in '925 when Rulh, then the wife of a ichool teacher mini d .Moody, her •rst husband, lived in Clayton. Shetiff Richard expressed distaste it having been foiced Io serve the vairant. saying Ruth left the comnunity after the warrant had been -turned and the charge apparently emitted to . est. .But when certain J tersons, whom lie did not name, 1 learned that the young woman, who | achieved international fame by almost | hopping the Atlantic ocean in her ! Mane, “The Am* 1 lean Girl,” learned that she was to pass through Georgia, they resurrected the charge and in- ' vbked ills duty as sheriff to arrest her. The evangelist, Jenkins, held a two ; weeks ievival in Clayton and Ruth ard her husband became acquainted with him. It is alleged that she went automobile riding witli the evange- | II; t. It was immediately following , this automobile ride that the charge of misconduct against her was made. Ruth was crest fallen this morning ' when she learned the news of her ar- ; rest had leaked out. "It was all the result of an innocent automobile ride,” she said. "My husband knew all about it. "Even though the neighbors had circulated lying stories about me at I the time I had no idea the officers would throw it up at me after all these years. "Os course I didn't know there had . been a warrant out for me.” i Tickets For Auburn Game On Sale Thursday Tickets for the Decatur-Auburn basketball game, to be played here Friday night, will be placed on sale ; at the high school building from 6:30 to 8 o'clock Thursday night, Principal Walter Krick sajd today.
