Arrests That Have Been Made
b| the Officers This Week.
Austin Gatlin, a neggro hack driv
er, was arrested and lodged in jail
yesterday charged with having stol
en a hundred and fifty dollars from
the house of a Syrian Sunday,
In the acount of the fire Sunday
given In The Times yesterday, men
tion was made of some money being
stolen irom one of the houses. The
money was hidden between the beds
and a negro was seen to carry out
the bed while the things were being
removed from the house.
The Syrian did not know the name
of the negro, but it has since been'
suspected that Gatlin was the one.
It is said also tjiaf a Syrian boy has
seen him with the money.
He -was arrestee—yesterday after
noon and lodged, in jail. Hle bond
was fixed at 1150, which he has fail
ed so tar to give. He was arrested
by policeman Presley.
Tomlinson in Trouble Again,
Lawrence Tomlinson, the one-leg
ged negro, who has figured in the
city court here for selling whiskey
was arrested Saturday night by offi
cer Jacobs and placed In Jail charg
ed with the same offence again.
It seems that Tomlinson, who got
off rather light before, on account
of hl« crippled condiUon, was op
erating a Utle more extensively of
late, as Cooper Kennedy another ne
gro was arested and lodged in jail
charged with selling whiskey and Is
also accused as acting as agent for
Tomlinson for this county. Wheth
er the charge will hold good or not,
of course the day of trial will reveal
but it is claimed that all the trans
actions point to Tomlinson as the
main factor and Kennedy os his
very active agent
Arrested i Unexpectedly.
John Jones, a negro man from
the country was oriented Friday in
a rather unexpected manner,
lend to bimsslt He had come to
town as prosecutor la the case
against the negro Alexander, who
came and surrendered himself and
gave bond on the charge of assault
and battery.
It developed after the negro
Jones appeared on the scene as proa*
ecu tor, that ha was the main coon
In the fight, and with the handle
of a knife had used up Alexander
pretty badly.
A warrant was sworn out and he
was Jailed. He is In hU cell yet,
being unable so far to give bond.
Hs was arrested by tbe deputies
in the Sheriff's office.
Negro Drayman Pulled Yesterday.
Charlie Jones, a negro drayman,
was arrested yesterday by officer
Presley on a'eharge of stealing. He
are. lodged behind the ban, and it
Is said that evidence pretty straight
has come to the surface against
him.
For come time pocket knives have
been missing from E. Y. Fry’s store
an£ it was a matter of considerable
pntzle as to where they were going.
It leaked out so it is Mid, that Char
lie had been selling a number of
knives about town and of course,
on such a trail a, Sherlock Holmes
would not be required to run down
the perpetrator.
Charlie is now behind the bars
calmly awaiting development*.
