Pembroke Carnal
Sheriff Solves
Burglary At
Lawis' Place
Tuesday a week ago J. E. Lewis
called the sheriff to report that
his place had been entered and a
sum of money about SBS had been
stolen. Sheriff Kyle D. Smith and
Deputy Raulerson were soon on
the job, and also called in GBI
Agent Price, but before Officer
Price arrived they had already
spotted their man, an employee of
Mr. Lewis, who was planning a
trip, but due to the alertness of
the Bryan officers, his trip was
delayed, at least ttmporarily
while he is a guest of the county
in the common jail awaiting trial
on a burglary charge.
It is said that Johnnie Peter
son a negro man 21 years of age,
had entered the place and had car
ried his loot across the road, to the
Blichton Service Station where he
had hid the money inside of one
of the colored rest rooms, $75 In
bills and $lO in silver half dol
lars. He told the officers that he
was passing the place and saw
some one coming out of the win
dow and got this as a gift to keep
his mouth shut.
The officers are to be congrat
ulated on the manner in which
they handled this case. In fact our
county and city have officers who
are on the job and if a burglary
does occur they are not long find
ing the guilty partits, which makes
the average thief leery about com
mitting a crime in this section.

trol, State Forrester Guyton De-
Loach reported tnis week.
DeLoacn lifted a ban he had im
posed on May 5 against setting
fires of any kind under anv cir
