Fields after being struck over the head

NEGRO CHAUFFEUR
MAKES CONFESSION
Much Stolen Property Is
Found In His Rooms
Following Arrest

Three warrants alleging burglary and
grand larceny will be sworn out this
morning by Detectives Enoch Warren and
r. G. Williams. against Anderson Har-
rison, a negro chauffeur, formerly en-
ployed by j. c. Maben, Jr. The negro is at
present prisoner in the city jail.
Harrison was arrested last Friday after
noon by the detectives and taken to the
city Jail. where Mr. Maben signed bond
for 500 for the chauffeur's release. Sun
day night, owing to further investigations
by the detectives, Harrison was srearrest-
ed on another charge of burglary and
grand larceny and since that time being
unable TO make bond he has reposed in
the city Jail.
According to Detective Robert G. Will
liams, the arrest of the negro explains
many of the daylight robberies on the
South Highlands in the past few months.
Detective Williams stated last night that
the negro had made a written confession
TO Detective Warren, in which he admit
ted the thefts and also told of the meth
DDS used In the robberies. From the al
legged confession 1t was gathered that
When Harrison in Mr.. Mabens machine
passed another automobile, and no one
was about Harrison, would take a lap
robe or anything that he could find and
transfer it to the Maben automobile and
drive on. If a porch or terrace hap
pened to be deserted of persons the negro
would pick up even porch chairs or any
thing of value and ride on to the next
victim.
In the negros house in the rear of the
Maben residence on Linden avenue and
Twenty Fifth street the detectives recov-
cred grip containing about s225 worth
of clothes stolen from the automobile of
Mrs. r. c. Munger on Cliff Road; two
lap robes valued at $25 stolen from H. M
Beck of the Beck Grocery and Candy
company; two brass iardiniers, valued at
$40, stolen from Mrs. Alex CARRIER and
one jardnier stolen from Ralph Flies. A
quantity of porch furniture and one lap
robe recovered by the detectives are still
unclaimed at police headquarters.
1t will be remembered that Harrison
was arrested several months ago for
masauerading about the streets In female
attire. AT the city Jail last night the
negro admitted his previous arrest but
stated that he had never disguised hin.-
self in women's clothes to rob Highland
avenue residences. Evening gowns and
wigs were discovered in the negro's room.
Anderson Harrison had been the negro
chauffeur and servant in the employ of
Mr. Maben for about nine years. He
was trusted and well liked and his arrest
and confession came as a surprise. He
will be transferred to the county jail this
morning to await trial.
