Greensboro, Dec. 28—The burglarization of several Greensboro banks and business houses was prevented by the arrest of a gang of burglars, Chief of Police George P. Crutchfield of Greensboro believes. Tools for the job and evidence were taken with the men.
Letters taken told of the planned activities, it is claimed.
As a result of a day of feverish activity the following arrests were made:
Joseph Bruno, who was registered at the O. Henry under the name of H.R. Sterling and who also goes under the names of Joe Stern and Louis Isabel or Isbel or Isabelle, regarded by the police as the leader of the gang;
Jack L. Matthewson, alias Charles Navella, arrested at Rees’ cigar with keys to rooms at the O. Henry and the Huffine;
Harry Mullins, arrested at the O. Henry hotel, a well known figure to the police of Greensboro and other nearby cities, sometimes called “Gold Tooth Harry.”
