Charlotte, July 24—Police here today were without a clue to the identity of four men who stopped the large touring car in which they were riding last night about a mile from Charlotte, long enough to hold up E.T. McLaine, police officer, and rob him of the gate receipts of a large amusement resort.
One of the men held a shot gun on McLaine as two others lifted the bag from the foot of the automobile in which the officer was riding. The satchel contained about $380. The holdup occurred on the Wilmington-Charlotte-Asheville highway.
