Albemarle, Aug. 27—A warrant was issued here today charging J. C. Burleyson, keeper of the Stanly County Home, with assault and battery on Mrs. Nannie McIntyre, an inmate.

The woman ran away from the home 10 days ago and was arrested here upon orders of Burleyson. She then told newspaper men of alleged cruelties inflicted upon her by the keeper. She is still being held.
