PETERSON DISCOVERS THAT
He WAS NOT ROBBED
ADMITS MEN CHARGED WITH
THEFT ARE INNOCENT.
Peterson Tells Police He Found Mon
ey in Coat Pocket.

William Peterson, the Ripley man
who claimed that he was beaten up by
some assailants on Hancock street last
Tuesday morning and robbed of $53,
has discovered that he wasn't robbed
at all, according to a confession made
by him to the police yesterday after
noon. Peterson was being closely
questioned by the officers in an effort
to get more evidence against the two
young men who were arrested on
wednesday and charged with the Of
Tense, when he began to weep and de-
clared that he had found the money IN
an inside pocket of his coat on Thurs
day, two days after the alleged rob-
berry.
The two young men, Frizell ano
Rray. who were arrested on the charge
waived examination and were bound
over for trial at the January term o.
court. They emphatically denied nav
inc taken any of Peterson's money
and the fact that the complainant nae
s12 in his pockets when searched aite
reporting the alleged hold-up, caused
the police to doubt some parts OF nj
story The probabilities now are ina
the robbery charge may be Withdrawn
and the boys arraigned on charges o
assault and battery.
