In staging a daring jewel robbery
at the store OF Harris and Shafer
here last week. While the colored
man attracted the attention OF en-
ployees of the store, the white man
lifted tray containing twenty
rings, valued at $4,000. from a
show case. Both men escaped.
Five clerks we're on duty when
the colored man walked into the
store and asked for a watch, which
he said his wife had left for re-
pairs. Although none OF the clerks
actually witnessed the theft, II Is
believed that the white man. who
stepped into the store a moment
later, stole the rings.
Just after the clerk waiting on
him had left the 'front.' Of the store
to look for the watch, police were
told. the colored man left by a side
door. The white man followed
close behind him.
