2 Held for Robbery
in Mecklenburg Co.
Evidence Stacked Up Against
Suspects But They Deny
Guilt of HOld-up

Search for the third man said to
be involved in the $4,000 pay roll
robbery of Cornelius Cotton mill
Wednesday of last week is being
conducted by rural police. Ralph
Shue of Mooresville and William
Brown of Huntersville were arrest
ed Saturday, charged with partici-
patton in the holdup.
Both Shue and Brown fatty de-
MED that they had anything to do
with the robbery. However, Chief
Vic P. Fesperman of Mecklenburg
police Tuesday said that evidence
is stacked high against them and
that further evidence is expected.
He also said that investigation lead
ing to the third man who took part
in the holdup probably will bring
about his arrest shortly.
The three young women who were
in the mill office putting money in
to pay roll envelopes when they
were forced to lie on the floor while
the robbers took the money did not
see the suspects Monday, it was
revealed, but it is expected that they
will be called upon to identify the
two men soon. Other witnesses also
will be given a chance to identify
the men.
Positive Identification of Brown
has been made by w. T. Terrence,
who had looked on as the robbers
scooped up the money. Terrence was
doing carpenter work in the mill Of
flee at the time of the holdup.
Everett Parker of Cornelius, held
in Jail for investigation in connec-
ton with the affair, was not identi-
fled by Terrence.
The robbery took place Wednes-
day afternoon at 2:20 o'clock. Two
men entered the mill office armed
with pistols. They forced the mill
employees to lie on the floor while
they took the money. They rode off
in an automobile with the third
member of the party. Late Wednes-
day afternoon the car was found
abandoned six miles east of Moores-
vile.

ones he associated with in the
churches.
He is gone now to be with his
God, the God that he loved, preach
ed, depended upon for succor, and
showed forth his praise unto the end
of his life of toll. He preached a
wonderful discourse on Sunday at
II o'clock and baptised two into the
fellowship of the church he loved
and devoted practically all of his
time to in the last few years of his
life. Oh! How short it seemed to us,
but we must bow unto the God he
was willing to spend and be spent
for and say, Thy will be done our
Father and not ours.
Everyone will miss him but the
greatest loss is to the people of God
who loved him for the gift that was
in him who we believe was God
given and now God has taken him
out of our midst and therefore we
must try to remember his council
and forge on overlooking to Jesus
the author and finisher of our sal
walton. He is in possession of that
blessed hope that he so often spoke
of, yet we are left to mourn the loss
of his presence, still when we come
to consider his gain we should be
happy to believe that he is in etern-
al happiness, the thought that his
memory will linger on and on in our
minds should bring some consola-
ton. To those without hope, death is
an appalling thing; but to those that
have hope it should be no sorrow
for precious in the sight of the Lord
| is the death of his saints.
AS we journey along life's path
way, we must pause again and again
to bid farewell to some father,
mother, brother, sister or other low
ed ones. One by one from loves
shining circle the gems drop away
until all the children of God are
safely housed in heaven and the
king of terrors has had its sway
over the body which housed the
spirit. After all this we become more
anxious to go on too, for to be alb
sent from the body is to be present
with the Lord.
Then sorrow not children, broth
ers, sisters and kindred in Christ his
grace is sufficient in death as well
as in life to heal all our wounds and
to wipe the tears from our eyes.
Words of comfort were spoken by
Elders J. R. Foley, B. T. Jenkins
and u. C. Nichols, three of his dear
ly beloved yokefellows in the min
istry, amidst an unusually large
crowd of mourning friends in the
yard of the Coal City church. Inter
ment was made in Salem Church
cemetery at Mt. View to await the
resurrection morning when shall
come to gather all his jewels togeth-
er. Let us sing his praises again and
render unto God the things that are
his joyfully, for the Lord giveth and
the Lord taketh away, blessed be the
name of the Lord. Submitted in sad
ness, I. w. Kilby.

Citizen Claims
 Penalty Unjust To Policeman
Six Months Suspension for Accused PatrOIman
 Starts Agitation

A local resident claims n a letter to The Democrat to- day that the punishment given Patrolman Delmar Dunn by the police board for insubordination and unbe- coming conduct was "un- necessarily harsh. Patrol man Dunn was suspended from duty for six months after pleading guilty to the charges Monday afternoon. The charges grew from com plaint by Rabbi William P. Green field that the policeman abused him when he parked his car on a crosswalk on North Main street and started to back away when he saw his mistake. Patrolman Dunn al- legedly refused to offer an explaha- tion to Police Superintendent Will liam J. Roach and was then suspend ed for a hearing.
 The letter follows:
 Waterbury, Conn.,,
 June 8, 1887. To The Editor of The Democrat:
 Dear MT. Editor:-
 It seems very strange to me that the police commissioners saw fit to suspend Patrolman Delmar Dunn from duty for six months when he was given hearing yes- terday for characterization and conduct unbecoming an officer. What seems very strange is the severity of the punishment, for the charges came only because the policeman saw fit to "baWl out" an automobile driver. The officer pleaded guilty and admitted he was wrong, yet he loses his job for six months.
 I don't know Patrolmall Dunn and all know of the case is what I have read in the papers, but it seems to me that the punishment was unnecessarily harsh. I have talked to several policemen and they said they expected that the most punishment Dunn would re- ceive would be reprimand. The way it looks, he'd probably have been suspended for five years if he dared to plead not guilty.
 There are many more serious offenses than the ones Dunn was charged with. Policemen found guilty or pleading guilty to great CT offenses in the past have got- ten off a whole lot more easily than Dunn did.
 There seems to be something fishy somewhere.

Buckle Co. Employees Stage CIO Walk Out
Several Hundred Employees Await Outcome of Nego-
 tiatons- Peaceful Picketing Starts

made shortly after 1 o'clock today by Phillip c. Brainard, organizer, who was included in the bargaining committee which met with the man. agfiement this morning. The com pany officials told The Democrat shortly before o'colck that they had no knowledge of the situation but this was during the lunch hour period and they were aware of the fact that the members were vot- ing on the strike question.
 Second Strike Here
 The stay-out this afternoon at the Buckle Go. marks the second strike in Waterbury in two days ordered by workers in the local Brass Work CTS union following conferences at which their demands were not fully met by company officials. Three days ago a shop committee at the Noera Mfg. Go. voted to go out on strike. At 1 o'clock today that sit- uation remained unchanged. Organization at the Waterbury Buckle Go. has been going cn with considerable speed for the past month and the influx of members into the Waterbury Brass Workers union seemed to indicate that one conference would be held at which the demands of the workers and the stand of the company would result in deadlock of some kind.
 No official statement has been made in regard to the demands but 1t is assumed they relate to tkc usual items in connection with wage in- creases, rates for piecewo-k and recognition of the union as sole bar gaining agency. With a ms sjority of workers claimed by the union at the present time this last demand seems almost certainty.
 At press hour this afternoon the Waterbury Buckle Go. strikers were in session at O'Donnells hall on Washington street discussing what action should be taken. Alex Cashin, CIO organizer, said that practically all the factory's 800 employees had joined in the walk-out.
 Noera Strike
 The employees of the Noera Mfg. Co.,, went into their third day of the current strike today and up un- til an early hour this afternoon the situation was still deadlocked Picketing was continued in front of the factory gates today and produc- tion att he plant was still sus- pended.
 Last night at a special meeting of the Noera group of the Water bury Brass Workers union, local CIO affiliate, the factory employees, all but one of whom belongs to the local union, voted to remain cut on strike.
 At the present time the deadlock seems to center about the item in the union demands for a flat five cent per hour wage increase. The company's stand is the same and the members of the union con1- mittee, recognized as the sole bar gaining agent for the factory em- ployes, also hold the same opinion.

Following a tWo-hour conference with company officials at the Wa terbury Buckle Co.,, this morning. at which time the question of wages and the reinstatment of a veteran employe were discussed and appar- ently not ironed out to the satisfac- tion of both parties, the members of the Waterbury Brass Workers Union, local CIO affiliate number ing several hundred employees, voted not to returne to work this after noon.
 Peaceful Move
 Scores of employees returned to the factory gates on South Main street at 1 o'clock today but did not go into work. The demonstration was a peaceful one and included ill the group of strikers there were many women employees of the com- pany.
