'Officers are Sure Th^t
They Have Right Man
ERNEST BUTLER IS ARRESTER
FOR FISHING TROUSERS FROM
ROOM AND STEALING WATCH
AND MONEY.
(From Thursday's Dally.)
The police officer® have a negro
named Ernest Butler, a son of Wal
ter Butler, In prison here on a
charge of stealing a watch from
Mr. Tood at the Taylor boarding
house two or three weexs ago.
Chief Dam-pier believes that Buit-
ler la the negro who has been
fishing articles from rooms through
windows >by the use of a long pole.
Readers of The Times will recall
that a large number of robberies
have occurred i n this manner. While
the occupant of a room was peace
fully snoozing in hla bed, some thief
would go to his window and lift out
his trouser^ and otb«r articles of
clothing and would rolb them of all
the valuables i n the pockets.
Two or three weeks igo Mr. #
Todd’s trousers were secured from
his room by the use of a long pole.
A gold watch was taken from the
pockets together yrith some money
ana the trousers* were thrown down
In the yard.
It happened that Mr. To'dfcPs watch
had a monogram engraved on it and
the number of the watch was regis
tered with on e of the jewelers here.
This made it easier Jo identify the
time piece.
Officers Walker • and Presley
found the watch in possession of a
negro named Will Scott and when
Will found that he wa* about to be
-'arrested he stated that he bought it
. from Ernest Butler.
Chief Dampler set out find
Ernest Butler and finally located
him. .The negro admittedihe sold
the watch .to Scott, but denied that
he •told it. He said that he bought
the watch from a negro boy, but he
did not know what the boy's name
was. This is an old story which
the police officers hear every day
or so.
The officers believe that they will
get other evidence against Butler
before the time for his trial.
Will receive two car loads of
1,200 to 1,400 pound mules Wed
nesday, January 17, and we bought
them to sell.
