'5- ■ . • • ’ ■ • J VALDAILIS BRCOYRBR® 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.
