duty to their race demands that they
stand by one who has brought discredit
upon the race even more than by those
who have not committed crime. There
was n'illustration of this deplorable spirit
in Arson county last week when Boggan
vas hung for murder. The evidence, di-
ect and circumstantial was clear that
lie was guilty. Two eye-witnesses saw
,ini commit the crime and the man he
iilled. time and again after he was shot
and after he knew he must die, and while
his mind was perfectly clear, said that
Boggan was the man who shot him,
ana he had known Began all his life.
and yet, so we are told, many Arson
negroes are disposed to make a martyr
OF this murderer. Commenting upon their
action, the Wadesboro Messenger and In

ALLEGED "YEGGMEN."
Washington Authorities Called to
baltimore to Identify Prisoners.

Major Sylvester and Captain Boardman
are taking an interest in the case In Baltl-
more in which nearly two dozen alleged
"yeggmen" are under arrest. Several men,
bers Of the detective corps went to BATH
more Saturday afternoon and another party
went there yesterday. Still others went
over today to take a look at the prisoners,
and the last Of the regular detectives and
precinct men will call upon the Baltimo-
reans tomorrow.
The men under arrest were captured IN
raids made in Baltimore Thursday night
after the bank at Mount Airy had been
blown by ''yeggmen.'' The building was
badly shattered but no money was obtain
ed. 1t was believed by the Baltimore police
that the men who attempted to rob the
bank at Mount Airy are the ones who sue
ceeded in robbing the bank at La Plata
several days ago. 1t has been a common
thing for these men to rob safes IN small
towns and on the outskirts of the larger
cities about this season of the year. Rail
road stations, country stores and post
offices have suffered most at the hands OF
the "yeggmen," ard, it is stated, compara-
lively few of them have been apprehended.
For number of years the police nave
been under the impression that a NUMBER
of "yeggmen'' made their headquarters
about saloons in Baltimore. Some OF the
detectives who went to Baltimore from TINS
CITY recognized two of the prisoners as men
they had seen before, but none or theH
has ever been arrested in this city.
