Will Tooley, a fast black who has
been employed at the garage OF the
Palatka Auto & Supply Co. for the
past several years and against whom
there has never been any suspicion
of real righteousness, other than thai
he would at times get his skin full
of "red liker," has been held by JUS
tice John E. Marshall for an attempt
ed hold-up and assault.
Toolev was hidden away in the ga
rage of DR.. Geo E. Welch last Sat
urdav night, and when the doctor
came home and was in the act OF
putting his car in the garage, Too
lev came to the front and made de-
mand for IS. Now Dr. WEIGH had
the money, there's no doubt of that,
but he objects to giving it up in that
sort of way. Tooley, too, it Is
thought, sprung the demand before
ne was ready to enforce it. In coming
to the front in the garage he knocked
over an empty pail, and it was this
noise that warned the doctor; he told
the coon to get. Later he came back
and said he left something in the ga
rage. Then DR.. Welch called a pc
liceman and had him arrested. a
search of the garage after showed
that in the corner from which Too
lev came. there was a piece of gas
pipe, and it is suspected that this
pipe was the weapon with which Too
lev expected to enforce his demand
for money. There was no direct ev-
idence of his intended assault, but
from the evidence of the doctor it
looks bad for Tooley.
