Three negroes and a Chandler roadster were taken by policemen Tuesday when two gallons of liquor were found on board the machine. The arrest followed an exciting chase, during which the negroes attempted to escape from the county over two or three highways south of the city. They were caught near Cathey’s store on the Pineville road.
The negroes arrested with Johnny Barnes, owner of the machine; Jim Staten and Alfred Coleman. They will be tried in the police court Wednesday.
