 T swore out warrant for his ar rest and learning that he was in Doug lasvile, I went with the sheriff to bring him back. Alexander admitted stealing my pistol and said he had lost it in a crap game He said he could get it back and would if I would get him out Of jail and let him come to work for ne.

 Witnesses then told how Phil Moore a negro who was farming on shares for his father. said he would like to have Alexander work on his place and of- fered to get him out of jail.
 T told Moore that it would be all right for him to get Alexander out of jail if he paid the costs, and got my pistol back for me. I went with Moore to the jail in zebulon, Phil Moore paid the costs and Alexander went to work for him. I did not get any money from Alexander. nor have to this day sot my pistol back"
