arrested Monday, at SelbyVille, by
Highway OFFICER Clarence K. Lynch
OF the Georgetown Police Station, on
charge Of breaking and entering
the feed store Of w. G. Williams &

hearing before Magistrate Levin r.
Hill, of Selbyville, who committed
him to the county jail here, for the
October term OF Court of General
Sessions, in default Of $500 bail on
each charge. ' 7-'
Officer Lynch had received word
that the establishment had been
broken into and started an inVesti-
cation. He had one clue on which
to work and that was the footprint
of the man who stole the -four. AS
Miller started to leave the building |
he dropped a bag of -four on the |
floor and the paper sack came apart. |
He stepped on it and left his foot
print. It was known that the rObber |
was wearing "sneaks" from the i'm
print made. Working on this theory |
Offieer Lynch started his search for /
the man. By chance he happened |
to be riding down the roadway rum
ming parallel with the railroad tracks /
and saw a man walking down the
tracks wearing "sneaks.'' He drove
up to him and told him to get into 1
his car as he wanted to talk to him
At first Miller hesitated, but when
Officer Lynch. suspiciOning him,
drew a blackjack, he climbed into
.he machine and remarked, 81 guess
you have got me-" The ,'sneaks" he
wore corresponded with the print on
he broken bag of -four, and finally
ne admitted stealing the -four and
rading it Tor bootleg liquor" and
vas going to make his way into
Miller came to the Sell
Iyville section during the straw
DePry season and has been lettering
here since that time.
