THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY.
BARNESVTLLE, GA., THURSDAY, APRIL, 9 1903.
BOLD ROBBERIES
ARE UNEARTHED.
havb been carried on suc-
CKSSl’nil.Y FOR THE PAST
FOUR OK FIVE MONTHS.
A bold and successful scheme
iof robbery has been carried on
in this city for the past four or
five months. Those operating the
plan were five negroes: “Profes
sor" Reid, John Mangham, Frank
Darden, Jim Harrison, and a
Worthey.
Last Thursday morning Messrs.
.1. W. Stafford it Sons discovered
that their warehouse had been
broken into at one of the windows
and some tobacco had been stolen.
A search warrant was taken out
and a number of places t horoughly
searched by the officers of the law.
Finally the joint of one ‘'Profes-
sor” Reid on Market street was!
entered. In this place was found
about seventeen boxes of tobacco
that was identified as belonging
Ito Messrs. J. W. Stafford & Sons.
! Professor Reid was then taken in
I charge and locked up.
Information furnished by him
lead to the arrest of John Maug
ham, Frank Darden, Jim Har
rison, and two Worthey negroes,
but the last two proved to be the
wrong parties..
John Mangham, Frank Darden,
Jim Harrison were given a prelim
inary hearing before Captain E.
J. Murphey, Friday afternoon
and were bound over to the city
court under a bond of $lOO.
“Professor” Reid waived a hear
ing and was also bound over
to city court under a $lOO
| bond.
It seems that Frank Darden and
Jim Harrison had from time to
time during the passed few months
been stealing tobacco, and proba
bly other things but none have
been discovered, from the storage
room of Messrs. J. W. Stafford &
Sons. They would then give the
; box to John Mangham t|> take to
“Professor” Reid who would give
him about 75 cents in trade for it,
which John Mangham said on
the witness stand was his half of
the bargain. In this manner
“Professor Reid” secured seven
teen boxes of tobacco at about
I one-third of their real value and
i lie would in turn sell it, it is sup
posed, at the regular retail price.
There was a display of consider
! able detective talent on the part
of Chief Carswell, Mr. W. H.
Ellington and others in the cap
ture of these negroes and securing
; the tobacco.
In Honor of Miss Swift.
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Willis en
: tertained a party of young people
of the city Monday evening in
j compliment to their guest, Miss
Aline Swift, a charming and beau
tiful young lady from Atlanta.
The occasion was one of unusual
pleasure to the happy young peo
ple.
Mrs. Walter Willis assisted in
entertaining, and by her efforts
made the affair a great success.
| Several hours were spent very hap
! pily in various amusements which
were interspersed with music, both
| vocal and instrumental which
added greatly to the enjoyment
!of the evening’s pastime. Then
followed delightful refreshments
in the nature of a hot chocolate
! course.
When the guest had spent their
alloted time at these diversions
i they departed and many were the
i expressions of genuine pleasure at
I the hospitality of these people.
Those fortunate enough to be
: participants in the event were:
Misses Ruth Kendall, Annie,
Lambdin, Priscilla Stroud, Hat
tie Jordan, Helen Willis, Olive:
! Williams. Messrs. Pierce Ham-
I mond, Jackson Bush, Roy Blount, j
i Broughton Hardy, .John Holmes,
