High Point, July 31—A telegraphic request to the High Point police to arrest a three-gun desperado riding the “blind baggage” sent a squad of policemen to the station to meet train No. 36, fast Southern New Orleans to New York Limited.
The officers were ready for any emergency, but when the train came to a stop and they hurried to the mail car, they found a disheveled dirty white man who offered no resistance when he jumped from the car on the approach of the officers only to run into the arms of Officer Stamey. A search failed to reveal a single gun, not less three.
It was said the man caught the train at Spencer, but how the three gun report originated could not be learned.
