JEWEL THEFT
CHARGE MADE
Missing Property Found in
Home Of E. Flat Rock
Man Now In Jail

Roscoe Grogan, of East Fiat
Rock, last night was charged with
the larceny of jewelry, valued at
several hundred dollars, from Mrs.
Charles r. Whitaker, who resides
in a North Main street apart
ment.
Grogan, now in the county Jail
on another warrant, will be given
a preliminary hearing before
Magistrate A. T. Kinney. Time
for the hearing had not been set
this morning.
The charge was made last night
BY Policeman Seth f. Edmundson
and Bruce A. Cox, and the Off
GERS reported this morning that
practically all of the missing jew
elry was recovered at the home
of Grogan in q trunk. Mr.. Cox
said this morning that Grogan
told him he found the box of jew
elry on the road to East Flat
Rock.
Location of a gold medallion of
the United Daughters OF the Con-
federacy led to the charge against
Grogan. This piece of jewelry was
sold to a local jeweler, who re-
ported that Grogan told him it
was given him by his grandfather.
This medallion was identified by
Mrs. Whitaker, and Cox and Ed
mundson then went to the Gro
gan home, where most of the
missing jewelry was found. No
bond was set as Grogan was al
ready in Jail.
The first charge against Gro
gan was brought by 4 number of
citizens of East Flat Rock before
Magistrate j. F. Brooks. In a pc
tition to the magistrate they stat
ed that it was their opinion the
man was dangerous and that they
were afraid of him.
The jewelry was taken from
Mrs. Whitaker's apartment last
Saturday and city officers had
been investigating the case since
then.

which scuttled President Roose-

abandon "feudalism," reproved
employers for paying too low
wages in the entire area and
called for cooperation from Dixie

good.
He directed whitening fire
against Legislators opposing his
reforms, comparing them with
private individuals who pitilessly

a basis of its churches, its schools
and its industries" said Mr.. Kat

es and schools here, but are sad
ly lacking in industry"
Granting that some industries
are a liability rather than an as
set to community, Mr.. Katzen.

kept out of Henderson county but

quickly and become fine work
men,"
