GANG OF NEGRO
BOY BURGLARS
IS ROUNDED UP
Three Lads Admit Dep
relations Many
Stores Entered

A gang of negro boy burglars, the
authors of numerous depredations
during the last three weeks in Amer
icus, has been. rounded up by the po-
lice principally by John Bragg, police
chief-elect. The boys, three in num-
Der, and ranging from 13 to ID years
of age, are in the county jail, war
rants charging burglary in several
counts having been issued by Justice
McMath Monday afternoon.
The boys in Jail are Morris john
son, aged 13, and George Myers and
Booker T. Sanders, aged about Ia
years.
With the arrest of the trio the fol-
lowing burglaries, knowledge of
which has been withheld from publi-
cation by the police as part of the
plan to catch the culprits, have been
cleared up, according to Officer
Bragg.
Williams Niles Hardware store,
small amount of goods and SIS or Sc
from the cash drawer stolen.
Hightower's Book Store and High
towers Toy Store, money and goods
stolen from both.
Kassell's store, suit Of clothing and
SIS or Sc.
Cash and Carry Store, Lamar
street, $12 cash.
Andrew Jackson's store on Cotton
avenue, tobacco, sardines and money.
All of the burglaries were effected
in similar manner, from the rear.
All were committed at night, except
at the Cash and Carry Store, which
was entered at noon one day while
| the place was closed for brief pc
riod for lunch. The suit stolen from
the Kassels store was found hidden
in the rear of the Howell Pharmacy
and returned to Mr.. Kassel.
Following the robbery of the
Jackson store the three boys left
Americas suddenly. Picking up a
clue, the police waited quietly, and
they were arrested by Officers Red
mond and Kimsey when they re-
turned one day last week. Confront
ed with the evidence Of their depre-
dations, they are said to have ad-
mitted the burglaries mentioned, ex-
cept in the case of young Johnson
who, the other boys claim, was inn
plicated only in the jackson store
robbery, in which he participated on
ly as a lookout.
The boys will probably be given a
commitment hearing within a day or
| two.
In the meantime, robberies have
become less frequent.

We all enjoyed mingling with friends
but the very best of all was the music
rendered by Mr.. A. Mcmillan and son,
Carl, on violin and piano 1t made US
think of the good old days before our
