Man Robs 8-Year-Old Furman Betts Jr., Dec. 17, 1921

Child Robbed in Capital City. . . Another Hold-up Added to String Which Is Puzzling Raleigh Police

By Associated Press

Raleigh—Another robbery was added to the series of hold-ups and robberies which have puzzled the police here for the last three days when Furman Betts Jr., 8 years old, was seized by a young white man this morning and carried to the outskirts of the city and robbed of $5. The lad had been sent to the city market to get the bill changed, and it was while near the building that the stranger grabbed him by the arm and led him away. No arrests have been made.
