Storebreakers Caught
On Wednesday night, January 18th, the store at Swepsonville was broken into and a lot of jewelry, cigars, underwear, clothing, shoes, &c, was taken, besides some cash from the postoffice which is located in the store. Three of them have been taken and had a hearing at Burlington Tuesday afternoon before Justice of the Peace R.J. Hall, H.F. Moore and J.M. McCracken. In default of bail in the sum of $500 each they were committed to jail to await the action of the Superior Court in March. A clue as to the guilty parties was gained when Dock Bass was arrested in Burlington last week and a ring found on his person by Mr. A.W. Moser. Later it was found out that Banks Bass, a brother to Dock, was into the game and Policeman J.A. Zachary of Burlington went down in Martin county, near Robersonville, and brought him in. Also that Turner May, one of the game, was in Rock Hill, S.C. Mr. Zachary went after him, but he had to make a second trip before he got him. All of them are young white men around the age of 25 years and made their home in Burlington.
