Offieer GordM Dore Scree Very Fine
Detective Wark-
Offirsr R A Gordan returned yaa
terday from gavansmh, bringing with
him a t»*4r»» named Wiltism Grier,
together aiib ihe jsweta atolen from
the wa ch cl*a<w» of Mr. H C. Burr,
and the fioe goM watch and chain
stolen from Mr. EJ C Smith last De
cember.
This haul evinced fine detective skill
and places another feather in the cap
of oor efficient police force.
Tbe Call last week gave an account
of tbe recovery of Mr. Burr’e watch
and chain, which be secured by pay
ing 130 through a lawyer of Savannah
wbo claimed that bia client bad found
them in a field near that city.-
Tbe tale sounded too “fishy ” for
Officer Gordon, and he determined to
investigate ihe matter and if possible
get at the bottom facta. Hs accord
ingly wrote tbe attorney, Geo. W.
Brackett, wbo made the negotiations
with Mr. Burr, and asked for tbe name
of hie client This information
Brockett refused to give.
Gordon then wrote to tbe chief ol
police in Savannah asking bis aid in
tbe matter, but tbe Savannah police
coaid get nothing out -of the lawyer,
wbo teemed determined to protect his
client at all hazards. "
This disappointment instead of die*
couraging Gordon only made him the
more determined to ferret out the rae»
cal whom be waa certain bad either
robbed ths bomee of our citizens or
was io collation with those wbo did,
and Sunday night be left for Savannah
to try his band on tbe uncommunica
tive lawyer.
After eating a baaty breakfast in tbe
Forest City Officer Gordon called up
on Brackett and it was only after he
promised that Mr. Burr would not
prosecute the negro that tbe lawyer
revealed hie client’s name and .-eai
dence He then insisted upon accom
panying tbe officer on bis visit to the
negro.
Gordon bad been in the presence 0
tbe negro only a few momenta before
be learned that tbe negro bad “found”
five other watches besides Mr. Bun’s
Two of these bis attorney, Brackett,
bad returned to their rightful owners
in Atlanta, upon the payment of good
rewards, and tbe other three were still
in hie (Grier’t) possession.
Gordon asked to see (be watches,
when be recognized among them the
one stolen from Mr. E C. Smith, of
tbia city.
He immediately arrested the negro
and carried him to the city prison,
Brackett all tbe while proteating that
Gordon was acting in bad faith after
promising him the negro should not
be prosecuted if be divulged hie name.
Mr. Gordon told him that be would
telegraph Mr. Smith and unless be was
instructed by Mr. Smith to bold the
negro he would release him He had
only promised tbe lawyer that Mr.
Burr would not prosecute him. He
had another case altogether, and ba
would bold his prisoner until he
heard from Griffin.
Brackett saw that be had been out
witted and at once began to make out
his papers for a habeas corpus, but
Officer Gordon was too sharp for him
again, and when Brackett got his pa
pers in shape to serve on the uffieer.be
and his prisoner were on the Central
beading for Griffin as fast as steam
could carry them.
They reached this city yesterday
morning at 6:15, and at 9 o’clock
Grier was taken before Judge Carhart
to answer to tbe charge of burglary.
He waived trial and demanded indict
ment by tbe grand jury and in default
of SSOO bond waa sent to jail.
Griffin s police are making a reputa
tion *ll over the state for their good
detective work and they are proud cf
thia fine work by their brother officer.
