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.
