Sloan Gets End Watch
Wagstaff Reads Of One Capture; Gets
Officer to Make Another

When he got his copy of the
Chapel Hill Weekly last Friday,
H. M. Wagstaff, professor in the
University, read of how Police
man Sloan had hunted down and
recovered a wrist watch that
had been stolen from the editors
cook.
This aroused Mr.. Wagstaff' s
interest, because a wrist watch
had been taken from his home
under exactly the same circum-
stances.
Two or three weeks ago his
daughter, Miss Frances Wag-
staff, took her watch off and put
it on the kitchen window sill
while she washed her hands un-
der the faucet. She forget the
watch, left the kitchen, and
went out into the yard with her
father.
A small negro boy, assisting
in the delivery of groceries
from the truck of one of the
merchants, entered the kitchen
and returned to the truck. In
a little while the loss was dis
covered. Mr. Wagstaff, who
had seen the boy, was pretty
certain where the guilt lay, but
he decided the only way to re-
equip his daughters wrist was
through the purchase of a du-
plicate.
The piece in the Weekly
prompted him to consult Mr..
Sloan. The officer said he
would see what he could do. At
supper time, day or two la
ter, he telephoned the identical
words that he had telephoned
to the editors house in the other
case. Which words were brief
and to the point, as follows: ::
"Pve got the watch"
