into his brother’s residence and
pawned a number of household ar
ticles removed at the time, Detective

Police say the version of R. W.
Barber is that he and his two daugh
ters, Misses Imogene and Avis Barber,
left their Brady street home late last
summer to spend three weeks out of
the city. R. W. Barber told detectives
that upon leaving he locked up his
home but asked his brother to "keep

When R. W. Barber returned later
he found a number of household ar
ticles missing. H? told police he talked
with H. F- B’arber about the loss and
that the brother admitted twice forc
ing entrance through a window of the
R. W. Barber residence in order to
secure household effects. The defend
ant, police were told, is alleged to
have said he pawned the property for
money badly needed because of the
illness at the time of his wife and
son. '
Detective Beebe said he was told by
R. W. Barbei thab th? man’s brother
had promised to pay $25 to cover the
property loss when H. F. Barber
should receive his bonus money. But
when the bonus money arived H. F.
Barber refused to pay up and told
his brother he could “get the money
the best way he knew how,” the de
tective was informed.

doing and declared he was given the
missing property by his brother, ac
cording to police.

on a charge of striking a younger
brother and cursing a still smaller

reading a Bible yesterday when his
mother sent him into the kitchen.
The errand was to see whether John

John was quite displeased at the at

John was said to »iave popped his
brother a few licks and cuss?d out
Marion, a sister and eager onlooker,
on general principles.
John not only denied being ex
travagant with the family’s ice but
declared he hadn t offered offense to
his brother and sister. The defend
ant's father also spoke up for him.
The mother, big, black and talka

charge. John was not only worthless
but a constant source of trouble to
her, said she, adding that he “is al
ways bringin’ home *ome kind of
somepin’.”
“Get out—all of you,” said the
judge.
MYSTERYFAILS
TO DAUNT POLICE
The police had a “Black-Hand”
case plumped into their laps for sol
ution last night. However they didn’t
get excited about it for it wasn’t
nearly so important as it sounds. Any
way the trail had gotten cold before
authorities were given the details.
The complaint had to do with the
attempted theft of a portable radio
from the home of Raymond Pelote,
negro, of 1507 Montgomery street.
Pelote walked into a room of his home
about 11:30 o’clock last night and
what he saw galvanized him into
action.
A black hand was reaching through
a window, tugging at Pelote’s radio
in an effort to dsilodge it from its
resting place. Pelote grabbed up a
revolver and yelled and fired sim
ultaneoeuly at the would be thief.
When the smoke had cleared away
yie owner had gone far away—swiftly.
Pelote didn't know Whether his
bullet had found its mark or not.
Police Officers Sullivan and Hatt
rich who were later called to inves
tigate 'found no traces of blood.

tonight and Friday. In the absence of
these, says the report, the weather
will continue warm, although not
quite as hot as Tuesday’s tempera
ture of 100 degrees. While assur
ances of lower temperature were
scoffed at by pedestrians in the
downtown section, where things are
still fizzling, the wave is certainly
slackening, and may shortly run its
course, to be followed by some of
that brand of weather whch has
earned for Savannah its present repu
tation as the ideal year-round resort.
