FOR ROBBERS
FOUR NEGROES ARE NOW UNDER
ARREST ON SUSPICION OF BE-
ING CONCERNED IN ROBBERIES.

Grant, or Taylor Snow, Andrew Mack,
Henry Williams and John Brown ne
groes are in Jail on suspicion of having
been concerned in the recent hOldups
and robberies which terminated when
Detective Chester Doyle placed Roger
James the ring leader under arrest.
James was yesterday convicted and
sentenced to serve twelve years in jail
for the robbery of some Japanese on
Pacific Heights.
Following in the footsteps Of Doyle,
Deputy High Sheriff Chillingworth has
devoted much time to rounding up the
lesser members of the gang of robbers.
Immediately after James was arrested
Grant Snow was taken into custody by
the police on suspicion of being the
Short man" of the brace Of robbers.
The police We're unable however 30
make out any case against snow at
that time, so he was released. High
Sheriff Brown saw a few days later,
three negroes going in the direction of
Kapiolani Park. He ordered the men
followed. Two Of them We're arrested
and the third man escaped. Mack
and Brown were their names.
The police assert that they have Sc
cured a confession from Mack, which
duplicates Snow and others The latter
was taken into custody yesterday on
the strength of certain statements
which James the convicted man is re-
ported to have made against Snow.
According to the statement that Mack
is reported to have made, Mack, Snow
and John Brown participated in holding
up the tramcar on Punahou street on
the night of December A. The driver
of the car claimed however according
to statements made at that time, that
only two men participated in the rob-
berry. Later Mack, Brown and Will
liams are alleged to have robbed the
Chinese at the Holmes place and also
robbed Admiral Beckley's place. Mack
also claims to have participated in the
robbery of the Beretania street Chinese
store. Snow and James and not the
two other negroes appear to have par
ticipated in this job. Mack claims
that at all of these robberies he acted
merely as the lookout.
