NAB CLEVER JIM
100000 BURGLAR
Baltimore Police Find Loot by Trunk
full in Three of His Homes
Many Cities Want Him.

Twice an escaped convict, 200 times
a burglar, 100000 the value of his
loot, two women posing cs his wives
This was the record revealed ii
Baltimore a few days ago following
the arrest il. Washington of "Cleve,
Jimmy" Lauzon, alias James Joseph
Kerrigan, after he had nearly added
murder to his crimes.
'"Clever Jimmy" is wanted by the
police of many cities. Already large
quantities OF jewelry, furs and sill
verware have been found in three OF
this master burglars homes.
Lauzon's arrest was brought about
through a description of him given
by Mrs. William Logan to the Wash
ington police. Several days ago she
entered her apartment to find "Clever
Jimmy" at work. Coolly he pointed
q revolver at her head, took a $1,000
ring from her finger, $50 from her
purse and lett.
The police at once suspected from
the description that the man was the
burglar who had committed a num-
ber of apartment house robberies re-
Gently.
Detectives Albert o. Linn and Ira
E. Keck saw Lauzon drive up to an
apartment house with woman.
They waited for him to come out,
commandered q passing automobile
and pursued him
AS they drew alongside, "Clever
Jimmy" pulled gun. His compan-
ion, Mrs. Zoe CARL, who has been
living with him in Baltimore, grab
bed his arm. At the police station
he admitted that was all that saved
him from killing the detectives.
With very little urging he told his
story. He was not sure about the
number of robberies he has commit
ted, but before he was finished ne
had remembered 200 Of them. Wash
irgton, Baltimore, Richmond, Ceve-
land, St. Louis and many other cities,
East and West, want him, he said.
A few more questions revealed the
fact that in 1919 "Clever Jimmy"
was arrested in Chicago and sentenc-
ed to twenty years in the Joliet pen
itentiary. After three months he es-
capped and went to Detroit.
Here again he was arrested, SEN
fenced to five years for burglary and
again escaped in short time.
Then he came East accompanied
by Mrs. Olive Poole Of Cleveland,
who left her husband to go with
the burglar. Richmond, Va, was
their first stopping place. Then they
went to Baltimore.

COUNTY RESPONDS
SLOWLY TO CANVAS
COMMITTEE REPORTS SOLICITA-
TIONS DO NOT MEET PROMPT
RESPONSE.

As the campaign of the committee
appointed by the local post Of the
American Legion to solicit pledges
and collect tie funds necessary, to
erect the proposed memorial to the
soldiers and sailors who sacrificed
their lives in the World War comes
to the eno of the third week the in
terest seems to vain somwhat. This
is due largely, in the opinion of the
committee, to the fact that personal
solicitation cannot be carried to the
country communities as it has been
conducted in the town of Kingstree.
Several hundred letters have been
mailed to individuals throughout the
county with the hcpe that this method
of appeal might bring results, but
so far response to the letters has
been so limited that the committee
felt it advisable TO discontinue the
practice because its cost was too
heavy for the results obtained. How
ever, another method has been launch
ed in the hope that what funds are
pledged will net the cause Of sohcita-
ton larger amount of the money
pledged for the purpose for which
it is being asked Several persons
who have been requested to do so have
consented to accept pledges for the
memorial and see that they are for
warded to the treasurer of the COM
mittee. 1t was hoped to extend this
opportunity to other communities than
those at which it has been possible
to make such arrangement so far,
hut it has been i:npracticable for MEM
bers of the committee to make visits
to the various communities for this
purpose.
The com1mttee feels sure those who
can should gladly contribute to the
memorial. It realizes however, that
there are those who, fer various rea-
sons, will not contribute but it wants
every one to feel that their contribu-
tion is wanted, whether it be large or
small. It is the purpose Of the COM
mittee to i.ave a majority Of the peo-
PIE of Williamsburg county represent
ed in the list of contributors to the
memorial, for to have its true senti-
ment expressed in its erection the
memorial must be erected by the mass
of the people Of the county. The
committee realizes that in order for
this intention to be carried out it
will be necessary to receive many
small contributions, and it is to these
persons VINO have wanted to make q
contribution, but because others who
ere more able have made larger ones,
have postponed doing so, that the
committee wants to make a special
appeal, and assure them that their
lit is as earnestly solicited and will
be as much appreciated as the larger
contributions from the more fortunate.

tors during the past several weeks
