Norfolk, Aug. 15—Charles Watts, 40, alleged love pirate, was held under $5,000 bond today following a preliminary hearing on charges he inveigled women of three states out of a quantity of jewelry. Watts admitted having possession of $4,000 worth of jewelry belonging to a Wilson, N.C., woman, when faced by his accuser and identified today, but he declared he did not intend to keep the valuables.
Another hearing has been set for August 27. A woman from Bluefield, W. Va., has been called to identify Watts and police meantime asked the court to hold the prisoner as a fugitive from justice for North Carolina authorities.
Women allege watts gained possession of their valuables on pretexts assumed after he had made swift love to them.
