Hickory Record
The charges brought against Dr. Ashley Chappell, prominent Asheville minister, are sadder than one likes to imagine. He was arrested in Memphis several days ago when police of that city raided a negro house of ill-fame, and he tells that his support to a painful malady became disarranged and in his agony, he sought relief in the first house that offered rest. Then the cops found him there.
Dr. Chappell’s explanation is entirely logical and the public will do him a grave injustice if he be judged before the case passes final hearing.
