then asked the reporter if he would net go

watch away. In the course of the interview
the hiatt was dropped that the information
was had that car on the Central road had
been broken in between Station No. A
and Millen.
A SUSPICIOUS OCCURRENCE.
Mrs. Frierson listened attentively to this
and stated that very suspicious thing oc-
Cured last week. A negro whom she did
not know came there and left package at
her husbands place. With a womans curl
osty she examined it and found that it con-
tanned three clocks and box of chains.
She was afraid to have it in her house, she
said, believing it to have been stolen,
and she handed it over to an
old colored man, Richard Adams, living
Just across the street She said that she
could get the property at moments no.
tice; that the party leaving the package had
been back once after leaving it and did not
inquire for it. She asked the reporter what
she should do with the goods, and she was
advised to turn them over to some one for
advertising and identification. The re-
porter saw Mary Bacon.
WANTED A THIEF.
Mary denied emphatically that she had
ever sought to hire cart from Mrs. Frler-
sou for Henry or any one else. Miss Alice

inclined to reserve very large volume of
information for the big court" the
reporter left her.
LOOKED LIKE FENCE.
In the Frierson store Mrs. Frierson stood
behind one counter and old man Adams on
the other. The reporter was invited back
in the dining room, and at signal Adams
followed. On the table were three new
clocks two of which were very ornamental
Ones a new watch and three punches of
watch chains. Adams said that the prop
erty was brought to him last week by Mrs.
Frierson, who wanted him to retain it until
an owner could be found for it, and the old
man added, sis dis all you wants with mel
for | must be goin',n and with that he went
out. Mrs. Frierson thought it best that the
property should be taken to the MORNING
NEWS office, advertised and identified. She
did this she said, to show that she would
not have goods that might have been stolen
on her premises. The goods were brought
to the office and are advertised this morn
ing.
Mrs. Frierson went on to say that Heart
less Bacon, whom she knows as Jack
Phil Henry and Mary Bacon have been
trying to use Mr.. Frierson and herself as
tools, and she believes that the package of
clocks and jewelry left at the house is part
OF the plot. She says that her husband is
dull, unsophisticated and easily duped.
ROBBERY OF THE CARS.
There is little doubt that portion Of the
jewelry recovered last night is from the
theft one night last week on the Central
road. The Central folks have been trying
to keep it quiet, but it is known that a car
was broken in with an axe and a lot of
jewelry stolen. 1t is evident that a lantern
was sused, as the stolen goods were carefully
selected. Another car was broken in in the
same manner and lot of clothing stolen
Burned pieces of paper were found in the
car, showing that they were used as a light
The Central has its detectives trying to
hunt up the thieves, but they have made
little progress thus far.
