PlNKERTON DETECTIVE
On Trail OF Robbers That Seems to
Center in GoIdsboro Deserted
by C. C. ZONES.
by C. C. Jones

There is hot trail after various kinds
boro a gathering place.
The Godfrey bond stealers are supposed
to have done business in Goldsboro in the
deal in which c.. c. Jones got hold of the
two stolen bonds, and the postoffice rob-
bers are supposed to have been in that
section. At the Hotel Kennon stamps
were sold in quantities that came from
C. c. Jones.
The post office inspector got on to the
trail of the stamp business and is looking
that up, and on top of this it appears
that Pinkerton has had one of his de-
tectives in and around Goldsboro.
The detective was first sent to Lagrange,
when the bank was robbed there. The
clues led him TO Goldsboro but beyond
this he made no Roadway in getting the
bank robbers.
Then the post office at Mount Olive was
robbed and Pinkerton's aid was asked,
He sent the same man and again the
trail stopped in Goldsboro The detective
thought that he was nearing his game.
And now the Jonesboro-Godfrey bond
steal has been found to have had part
of it's history in Goldsboro and all these
things being put together there is chain
of evidence on which the Pinkertons and
others are figuring
C. c. Jones was supposed in Goldsboro
to have left some time before he really
did leave. He had not been seen for a
week but en- Friday before the bench
warrant was issued he boarded South
ern train two blocks from where it started
to leave Goldsboro shortly after one
O'Clock in the afternoon. That train was
going to Greensboro, but Jones is sup
posed to have gone on to Richmond, and
maybe to some other place.
Bank robberies, post office robberies,
bond steals, all drifted towards Goldsboro,
and folks are saying that it looks as if
there was fence" there who knew how
to take care of stolen goods.
