NINE HELD FOR LARCENY.

AS the result of Investigations COW
ering period of several weeks Chief
Britt has nine negro men and women
lodged in the Dillon county Jail
charged with larceny. The accused ore
not residents Of Dillon but are new
corners who have moved to Dillon in
the last few months.
Chief Britt believes that he has
uncovered r series of Wholesale thefts
which extend over several states with
Dillon as the headquarters or distri-
buting point. Bolts Of fine dress
goods were found in the homes of the
women and there is evidence to con-
meet the men and women. 1t is believ-
ed that the men did the stealing and
the women acted as go-betweens in
disposing Of the stolen goods.
| About two weeks ago the store of
the Jones Dry Goods Co. was entered
and merchandise of unknown value
stolen. There is no evidence, however
to connect the men and women in
the county Jail with this robbery.
M. Welsh. chief detective of the
Seaboard Air Line. was in Dillon last
week. but. Mr.. Welsh failed to identl-
fy any of the stolen property as that
OF property taken in several recent
thefts from Seaboard Air Line ware
houses, although one Of the men held
at the jail insists that the property
was stolen from the Seaboard at San
ford. The records at Sanford do not
show that any thefts have been made
from the railroad warehouse at that
place recently.
Although conclusive evidence is
lacking. Chief Britt feels that he has
discovered clues that they may lead
to well-organized plan Of systematic
robberies which have been going On
all over the country with Dillon as
the distributing point.

whole energies and talents toward find-
out how much. II any. of 1t was slipped
into the hands of legislators under the
form of legal fees.

a silver service costing s1.147 as a gift
from detectives after he had fathered
the bill. He has not yet established that
there was n fund of 100000, but the
fact has not dsmayed him. He has not
made inquiry at any OF the hearings pc
fore him as to whether any or the
money went into the hands of legislators

made to him yesterday that the line OF
inquiry might be good one to take, an
