Leon 1oule, a likely looking
young fellow. is in Jail here to
await the January 9th term of
Court for the theft of $l18 from
the Office of the Jenkins Buick
Company.
The young man was in the
office, seeking work, on Monday
night. The manager, Mr.. Bar
rem, counted the cash, amounting
to $ll8, and placed it in the big
safe. He then closed the doors
without locking them. A few
minutes later a friend stepped in
and with Barron walked to the
rear of the garage. When they
returned, Houle was gone and
SO was the S118. A search was
made, and the stranger was ar
rested as he was walking up the
track towards Hamlet. The entire
amount recovered; in fact it was
every cent he had on his person.
The POST-DIsPATCH man visit
ed the young fellow in Jail Tues
day. According to his story,
which we have no reason to dis
believe, he wasseverely wounded
at Chateau Thierry July Is, 1918
in the right arm; blood poison set
in and the arm had to be amput-
ated Just below the shoulder joint.
He says his home is at Lawrence
Mass, and that he volunteered
Aug. IA, 1917, and was in Co. F,
l0lst infantry, 26th division over
seas. He says he received Gov.
ernment compensation of S73 a
month up until four months ago
when for some unknown reason
it stopped or failed to reach him.
He was unable to get work up
North, and wandered southwark,
coming Monday from Sanford in
a passing Ford. He had no money
and nothing to eat until some
Legion men here gave him some
for meal. He tried to get a job
in town. and at several of the
mills. And finally went to Jen-
kins Buick garage Monday night
in the hope of finding Mr.. Jenkins
there and possibly securing job
from him at Hannah Pickett mill
While in there, he saw Mr.. Bar
ron count the Sis, and, we'll, the
temptation at sight of so much
money right at his hand was
simply too great, and he took it.
He is just 81 years old, and
Fsays he wants to take whatever
punishment is due him without
letting his people know.
While in the Jail, the POST
DISPATCH man saw another white
man who says he was overseas
in the 18th regiment of the 1st
division, and that he received
five flesh wounds; five scars can
at least be seen on his person.
His name is Daniel Belcher; he
says he is a Frence-Indian- that
his father was a Frenchman and
his mother a full-blooded Okla
homa Cherokee Indian. He got
a job in the fall with o. D. Viii.
son, undertaken at Hamlet, and
was accused by Mr.. Wilson of
forging a $40 check. He has
been in Jail for five weeks.
BY the way, you readers who
have comfortable fires at home,
pleasant surrounding etc., do you
ever give a thought to the unfor-
tunates who by misstep have
cotton themselves in Jail or the
convict camp? They are human
beings, whether white or black,
and would feel mighty kindly if
they could be remembered occas-
sionally. Send to the Jail or camp
or county home some time some
old magazines, or fruit or some
thing that might help those in
trouble. 1t would mean a lot to
them.

ty-six cities show decreases in unem-
