Oscar Mitchell Being Held in Jail, Sept. 6, 1923

Mitchell Lodged in Jail

Oscar Mitchell was captured by C.H. Crutchfield and lodged in jail last Monday. He was located near Siler City and brought over here by the deputy.

It will be remembered that Mitchell is the negro that was run away from a still over in Matthews township and later captured at a still long with Ex. Campbell and Miles Beal, near Moncure. Campbell was sent to the roads, Beal was found not guilty and the negro Mitchell skipped a $1,000 bond.

He will come up before the October term of court.
