GUITAR PROVES BE DOWN FAL OF PROSPECTIVE DON JUAN The air which 20-year-old John Wesley Small, negro, breathed this afternoon came to him through the bars of the Chatham county jail. It was John’s love for music which put him in Jailor W. M. Kidwell's look up. Or to be more specific, a craving for possession of a toe-tickling mu sical instrument like the one that Dan Brown owned. It all came out at a police court hearing this morning. Police Officer C. W. Overstreet told the story to the court. He said he arrested John upon the complaint of Dan. It se:med Dan was coaxing tuneful melodies from his guitar on the street yesterday. The syncopated notes had drawn a group of admiring listeners. John Wesley Small joined the throng. He eyed the player and the guitar with undisguised envy and finally could restrain himself no longer. "Lemme make some noise on that thing, boy,” John is said to have re marked to the street minstrel. Dan acquiesed. John is alleged to have taken the guitar lovingly in his arms —and departed swiftly around the corner - Judge H. Mercer Jordan held John for trial in city court on a larceny charge.
