Wadesboro, n. c., Sept 15.-The
case against Charles O'Day and John
Fisher for carrying concealed weap-
ons has been disposed OF, the men
pleading guilty, though judgment has
not yet been pronounced upon them.
These are the men who were captured
at LilesVille several months ago, both
of them being badly wounded. A
complete outfit of safe crackers tools
was found in a valise the men carried
and there is no doubt about their be-
ing professional burglars, though the
only charge against them here was
for carrying concealed weapons.
They are wanted in South Carolina
on the charge of safe cracking. There
is also a postoffice inspector here to
look after the men, and the probable
ty is that either the Federal or South
Carolina authorities Will finally get
them.
