Don’t Steal From
Officer
If you are minded to steal, don’t try your hand on an
officer. And leastways don’t tackle Chief Braswell of Hamlet. Fulton Lowry and
E.B. Moore of Tarboro no doubt are of this mind now.
Some three weeks ago these two young white men drove into
Hamlet and stole a tire from the rear of Chief Braswell’s car. The officer soon
missed the tire, and began a search for the two strangers. He found them on a
back street in the act of taking a tire from the car of his sister. The two
were arrested; and in their suit case was found much plunder. The Tarboro
officers were advised and the two carried there and confessed to stealing a car
in Tarboro on Dec. 19th. Judge Lloyd Horton this week sentenced the
two to 10 years in the pen. It develops that Fulton is an escaped convict from
the pen, having been sent there in 1917 for 25 years for burglary.
