followed by material gains all

Held WITHOUT BAIL
ON MURDER CHARGE
Glen Davis Application For
Bail Denied-Held to Await
Action of Grand Jury.

On Wednesday a preliminary hear
ing was given Glen Davis, charged
with murder for the killing of Her.
schel Taylor on Sunday, August 18th.
Hon. H. H. Creekmore represented
the State, while Atty. John Horan
and Messrs. Stone & Stone the de-
tense who had made application for
bail.
The hearing was had before Judge
C. L. Chadwick and associate ]. K.
Fulson. The State introduced only
2 witnesses, while the defense intro
duced no testimony at all and made
no argument to the court.
It was plain and quite apparent
that the purpose of the defense was
simply to force the State to show its
hand as it was necessary for the
State to introduce its evidence suf-
ficiently strong to make out case,
while the defense did not uncover any
of their plans.
The evidence introduced by the
State substantially agreed with the
facts of the killing as published in
last weeks issue of this paper-only
in two instances were there any vari-
alton in the story as told last week
by the Herald. There was nothing
new brought out at the trial.
The State as stated above introduc-
ed only seven witnesses, then an
nounced that they "Rest" their case.
Then the defense made the same an
nouncement without introducing any
testimony and submitted the case to
the court without making any argu-
ment or statement whatever. Hon.
H. H. Creekmore simply called the at
tention of the court to the law gov
erning the case and then submitted
it for decision without argument.
The Court retired and in few min
utes returned, announcing their decis-
ion, that Glen Davis, the defendant,
be held in the county Jail without
bail there to await the action of the
grand jury.

OAKLAND BANK
BLOWN BY YECCS
Wreck Safety Deposit Boxes
Secure 100000 in Loot and
Make Their Getaway Leaving
No Clues.

Yeggs broke into the Bank of Oak
lands safety deposit vault Tuesday
night and secured money, Liberty
bonds, postage stamps and war saving
stamps and other valuables aggregat
ing over 100000. The robbers were
unable to enter the main vault hence
no funds belonging to the bank were
disturbed. All of the safety deposit
boxes were rifled and destroyed and
it was in these the burglars secured
their booty.
Although officers have been work
ing on the case since the robbery, no
clue has been discovered up to date.
After gaining entrance to the bank
the robbers blew one door off the
vault. They opened the private boxes
of the patrons included was that of
the postoffice. Here they found funds
totalling $1,200.00, besides this a.
mount they carried off blank money
orders. In the various safety boxes
they found Liberty bonds and war
saving stampe worth from few dol
lars up to 100000. Mr.. and Mrs.
W. v. Moore and C. E Galloway are
perhaps the greatest losers. Import
papers of no value, except to the or
iginal owners, were also carried a.
way.
The Bank of Oakland is one of a
string of bank throughout North Mis-
sissippi of which Mr.. j. T. Thomas of
Grenada is the head. Mr.. J. M. Clark
was local manager at Oakland.
Some of the boxes were carried
away by the burglars, some were o.
pened and the contents left untouch-
ed. One woman's possessions, in
Guiding Liberty bonds, jewelry and
private papers were found intact.
The bank is making arrangements to
offer a substantial reward for the re-
turn of the bonds and the apprehen-
sion of the thieves.
