with house-breaking On the prison

) yesterday identified as belonging to
Capt. 5. w. Watkins, whose house
was entered after midnight on the 9TH

awoke TO find negro man Of short
statue standing few feet from her bed.
She screamed and Capt Watkins, her
husband, came hurriedly from an adj
Joining room, but the thief had fled
the premises.
The police made diligent search for
the negro who carried of with him a
suit Of clothes and pair Of shoes be-
longing 10 Capt. Watkins and a much
priced breastpin owned 10y Mrs. Wat
kins. A pair Of overshoes belonging to
the house-breaker were left on the
porch Owing TO the lateness Of the
hour in the night the negro made good
his escape before an alarm could be
given, but there is reasonable certainty
that the right man Is now M the Gus
tody OF the Prince r iward jailer. The
police believe now that the suit Of
clothes and the breast pin viii be loca-
ted in the neighborhood where Evans
has been staying during his sojourn in
this county.
Evans claims to be from the State
Of North Carolina, whence has come
some Of the worst negro criminals our
courts have ever had 10 deal with. The
police say he is a negro tramp.
Evans protests his innocence and
says he bought the shoes he wears out
west.
He was confronted yesterday by
Capt. Watkins and asked to tell where
Mrs. Watkins breastpin was aud he
might have the suit Of clothes and |
shoes. He replied he knew nothing |
about the breastpin.
The penalty for forcbly entering a
