GRADY POWELL
IS THE VICTIM OF
A BURGLARY
For The Fifth Time His Store
South Of The Railroad, Is
Entered By Thieves

For the fifth time since Grady E.
Powell has been doing business on
Clarke Avenue, just across the rail-
road, his store was broken into and
robbed on Monday night of this week.
The burglars gained entrance thru
the rear door by using a piece of iron
about three feet long, a splicer for
railroad ties and ramming the panel.
A bar was across the door on the in
side and so heavy was the lombard
ment that when the door finally did
go open, it carried with it the facing
of the door frame. AS the canning
house near by was running all night,
the thieves were taking some risk,
but seemed to have gotten away with
the job.
The vandals seem to have been to-
bacco hungry, and confined their rob-
berry to cigars and cigarettes. Mr..
Powell had recently gotten in a con-
signment, and he calculates his loss
to be between 500 and $3.50. No clue
has been obtained as to the guilty
parties, but nothing will be left I'M
done to apprehend them.
The night after the above-mention-
ed robbery, Morris Store in Princess
Anne was entered and the burglars
centered their activities on the ciga-
rettes and tobacco, very similar to
their proceedings in Mr.. Powell's
place. Mr.. Morris also lost some cash.
The police should be, and undoubted
ly are, on the lookout for these petty
robberies, and it is to be hoped the
guilty ones may be apprehended.

FIFTH COLUMN EVIDENT
ON THE PENINSULA

Evidence, perhaps, of the existence
of the Fifth Column on the Delmarva
Peninsula, crops out in the removal
of spikes from the tracks of the Wash
ington-New York line near Stanton,
Delaware. This was discovered on
Tuesday of this week.
A conference of investigators was
called in Baltimore. These include
agents of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation, Delaware State Detectives
and railroad police.
A trackwalker discovered early that
spikes were missing from a section
of track near the Delaware Park race
track at Stanton and that rail splice
had been disconnected, company Of
ficials said.
Investigators suspect that the tam
pering was the work of some one ex-
pert in the mechanics of the railroad
signal system. A wire connecting Sec
ton of the track was undisturbed. If
it had been severed or damaged, the
automatic signal system would have
stopped all Pennsylvania trains in this
area.

PILCHARD CASE
TO Be CALLED
ON JULY 10Th
A Number Of Witnesses Have
Been Summoned By Prosecu-
ton. Defense Not Known
PRISONERS IN CUSTODY
SINCE LAST FEBRUARY

The trial of the Pilchard murderers
and rapists is set for July 20, in the
Baltimore County Circuit Court, and
forty or more witnesses will be sum-
moned by the prosecution, while there
has been no indication as to whom the
defense will call.
Residents of Worcester county and
nearby sections are we'll acquainted
with the details of the horrible
crime said to have been committed
by the two negroes Arthur Collick and
Chas. Manuel, who have been in Gus
tody since February. They were re-
moved from the local Jail to Towson,
where they have been boarding at
the expense of Worcester.
Their stay there, however, has been
made necessary because of the illness
of Mrs. Pilchard, who, of course, is
the principal witness, against the bru-
tai night attackers. Mr.. and Mrs. Pill
chard were at home; he was called to
the outer door of his house and shot
down in cold blood. His killers then
entered his home, criminally assaulted
Mrs. Pilchard and then attempted her
death by shooting. She escaped by
crawling out an attic window and con-
cealing herself in the angle, of dor
mer and the roof.
Just what anybody except Mrs. Pill
chard knows about the whole matter,
is a problem. But any evidence con-
Meeting the brutes with the crime
should not be neglected and it is hop
ed the prosecution may make quick
work of the accused, if they are gull
ty, and that the law may mete out just
punishment.
The witnesses announced by the
prosecution are:
Worcester County-Sheriff J. Will
liam Hall, Deputy Sheriff Crawford
