teiating: A number of invited
guests were present to witness the
ceremony, which took place IN
the brilliantly lighted and taste.
fully decorated parlor. The dis
play of handsome bridal presents
attests the high esteem in which
the happy couple are held by
their many friencs.
Chief of Police Freeman and
his able corps of assistants are
industriously at work on a ring
stealing case. The ring is a
very valuable one and is the
property of Mrs. j. r. Griffin.
Last week Mr.. Griffin had a
negro boy named Yelverton
working as a servant around his
house. On Friday night Mrs.
Griffin sent the boy up stairs in
her room after a lamp. The ring,
which has a genuine diamond set
valued at 800, was laying on the
bureau. When Mrs. Griffin
went up to her room the ring was
missing. By going to work on
the case Saturday the police
found out that the boy sold a
ring to Bertha Williams, a col
ored woman who keeps a restaur-
ant in Little Washington. Bertha
carried the ring which she
claimed she bought from the boy
to Mrs, Griffin, but it was not the
ring. The case might have been
abandoned here if Bertha had
not left the city this morning at
5 o'clock on the Norfolk 'Shoc-
fly Officer Tudor left on the
1890 train to-day and it is prob
able that Bertha will accompany
him home.
LATER:
The ring stealing case as out
lined in the above paragraph, has
been completely unravelled by
Chief of Police Freeman and his
first assistant Officer Tudor and
the ring has been returned to its
owner Mrs. j. R. Griffin. The
restoration of the ring was a
clever piece of detective work
aud too much credit cannot BE-
the officers mentioned. Mr.
Tudor brought Bertha Williams
back to Goldsboro Monday night
and she produced the ring yes
terday morning with the assur-
ance that she was to be discharge
ed. The negro boy Yelvertcn,
who stole the ring, is now in
Jail.
