ALERT COP
NABS MAN
SAT. NIGHT
Quick work on the part of night
policeman E. E. Cameron here last
Saturday night between 1:80 and
2:00 resulted in the arrest of James
Price as he was apparently at
tempting to break into Hodges
Jewelry Store in the down town
business block. Price, a young
White man who is reported to have
come here from Danville, Va., o
bout two months ago, is said to
have forced a screw driver between
the plate glass and the frame of
the front window which, Mr.
Hodges said, contained about
$2400.00 worth of watches and oth
er valuable jewelry.
The crash of the glass as it was
broken by the force of the screw
driver alarmed Mr. Cameron who
was sitting in a barber shop next
door. The policeman rushed out
and nabbed the man before he
could escape.
Price waived his preliminary
hearing before the Mayor’s Court
Monday morning and was bound
over to the January term of Supe
rior Court under a bond of $300.
At the time of alleged attempted
break about a dozen people were in
a cafe that was still open at that
hour a few yards down the street.
