STORE ROBBERY HERE IS SOLVED Arrest of Member, of AntomobUe Thief Gee; in Macon, Bring, Confession of Bnrglnriiing Mr,. Borne’, Store LEGISLATOR IS HOLDING PLANS State institutions Command! At tention. I'Wants Chair Moved WiB Follow Grand Jury Favors Tax Reform Several weeks ago the store of Mrs. Homer Burnes in the eastern part of the county, was entered by burglars,. and robbed of a large quantity of merchandise. The rob bers left no clue of their identity. A few days since the police of Macon made arrest* of automobile thieves. Chief of Police Watkins, of Macon, was in the city Monday, and stated that one of the men arrested had confessed that he was a member of the gang ‘hat had robbed Mrs. Barnes store, and gave information of where | a portion of the goods could bo j found. In his confession the man al- I so acknowledged being implicated in the theft of several automobiles in different sections of the country. He further stated that two of the cars were in or near Milledgcville, where they had been left. Chief of Police Watkins was here Monday, and with the local officers made a search for the two cars, but failed to find any trace of them. The investigation of the Macon police led to the arrest of two men, giving their names as Prue Benson Alias Joe Harvey Harris and John H. Harris, Alias Joseph Costello, Alias Fred Thomas. In the confes sion obtained from one them the gang had a headquarters in Atlunta, where they had a store house where they carried their loot. The two men have been carried to Atlanta, where they are wanted. With the burden of representing four state Institutions resting on him. Col. Marion Allen, Baldwin Representative, had drafted no defi nite measure for introduction in the Georgia lower house this summer, and was wi.hholding all plans pend ing conferences with representatives of the Institutions. While he was certain of making an effort to move the electric chair from Millcdgeville, he realized the handicap in passing such a measure and although he expects to press the passage of a bill to remove the chair, he readily sees the opposition that he will meet. “The four institutions ma’ntaincd by the state in this county will con sume much of his time and the care of these will require many bills, especially before the appropriations committee, and other bills will come later he stated. The Grand Jury in its last session passed resolutions asking the Bald win solon to back und urge the pass age of a tax reform measure, and Col. AUen stated he would follow this suggestion and lend his effort to bringing about a tax reform. Col. Allen was of the opinion that it was far in advance to say just what he proposed to do and that no definite steps had been taken to draft any bills for the summer session, and that he had no plans to an nounce.
