ROBBER RETURNS CHECKS
Police Have a Line on Early Mornine
HoId-Up.

The restaurant robbed by a masked
hold-up early Thursday morning was Ray
G. Harvey's. and not Gray & Harvey's,
as reported by certain publications.
There Is no such firm doing business in
the city as that reported,
Ray & Harvey conduct a restaurant
al 10 East First South street. About
3 o'clock Thursday morning a robber
entered the place and held up l. M.
Sands, the cook. taking from the cash
drawer $5S and checks aggregating ss4 10
Friday afternoon a postman delivered to
the restaurant the following note.
Ray e. Harvey-Gentlemen: Inclosed
you will find little rebate. Please ac-
cept from a good man gone wrong. Please
destroy when read"
The communication was without sigma
ture and contained all the checks taken
from the cash drawer at the time Of the
hold-up. The police were notified Of the
receipt of this note, and there is little
question that the man who did the Job
will soon be under arrest, Mr.. Harvey,
for some reason which he did not ex-
plain thinks he knows the man who held
up his place, and he is giving the police
such assistance as he is able In locating
him. The reutrn of the checks was, of
course. due TO the fact that the robber
dared not take chances in having them
cashed.
