Strtll Brown a mulatto negro
about 20 years old, was arrested |
and placed in jail Wednesday af
ternoon upon a charge of stelling
corn from Dr. C. T. Stovall.
The theft was committed in the
day time and it was quite a bold
one, Schrill has formerly been in
the employ of Dr. Stovall and
knew that he always kept on hand
a good supply of corn and the idea
came to him that'he could work a
trick to get the corn and sell it and
have some pocket change without
ever having the least suspicion
resting on i.iin as being the theft.
So he went to the home of Dr.
Stovall with a wheelbarrow and
ask the cook for the crib key, tell
ing her that he left some oats in
the crib during the rain belonging
to Mr. Summer Smith and wanted
to carry them them to owner. But
instead of gettin the oats he got a
suck of corn and sold it to Mr
Thompson down at the depot. He
was not satisfied at this however,
and went back the next day (Wed
nesday) and with a similar story,
got another sack. Mr. Thompson
became suspicious however, this
time and commenced to question
Schrill about the corn. Schrll told
Mr. Thompson that the corn be
longed to Babe Barthwell colored,
and her reason for selling it was
because her pig died.
This looked even more suspi;-
ious and Dr. Stovall was telephoned
about the matter, who, after inves
tigated, had the negro arrested and
placed in jail.
Dr. Stovall informed a reporter
of the Nbws that the negro made
u full contession of the theft as
soon as he was arrested.
