INF|RM|T|ES HELP
CAPTURE OF ROBBER
Negro Burglar Loses His
Wooden Leg While Try
ing to Escape

Walter Jones. a "peg-legged" negro,
was convicted by a jury yesterday
afternoon in the first division of the
criminal court before Judge Harring-
ton p. Helm of burglary He will be
sentenced this morning
In the development of the trial of
the negro Jones one of the most In
teresting stories ever adduced from
testimony from various witnesses as to
how the criminal act was done and
its results was brought out under the
examination of Assistant Solicitor w.
S. WEIGH, who represented the state.
1T appears" said Mr.. Welsh, fol-
lowing the trial, that the negro Jones
suffered a series of msadventures that
were not at all to his ultimate adj
vantage. But to begin the story.
Mr.. and Mrs. f. P. Venom, ven
cradle couple who conduct store al
Parker's Springs, on the North Bes
semer car line, had retired for the
night and about 4 o'clock in the morn
ing when Mrs. Venom woke up and
heard a noise like scratching More
noises followed and suddenly by the
window she distinguished the form
of man, and then she knew it was
burglars.
Mrs Venom lay there afraid to
move for sometime, but finally decided
to be brave and jumped up to light
the lamp. Unfortunately the lamp
caught on fire and as she turned
around she saw the negro man crawl
ing out from under the bed and tell
ing them that he would kill her if
she moved. The voices woke up Mr..
Venom and he jumped at the negro,
who quickly lodged and dived through
the window, escaping in the darkness.
1.-THE aged couple finally got things
in order and lit a good lamp and then
suddenly Mr.. Venom dived under the
bed and came out in moment with a
wooden leg. 1t appeared that the ne
gro in his hurry had left his wooden
leg. The police were then called and
the 'peg-legged' negro was trailed to
where he had taken refuge.
Now. we come to the Negroes part
of it When he escaped from the house
his partner took him out in the woods
and, securing a piece of timbed, made
him another wooden leg. With this
substitute the negro went to his shanty
but suddenly the police arrived and
he Owed for the rear of the house.
However. there was a lot of deep mud
in the back of the negro's shanty and
the improvised wooden leg sank down
deep in the mre, and as it was not
attached securely to his body it re-
manned in the mud while the negro
hoped on further. The police by this
time were so close BEND him that
few moments later thay had him Sc
curely a prisoner. His infirmities had
delivered him into the hands of the
law. Now he will go to the peniten-
tiary.'
