Thieves Steal Women's Overcoats at Church, Dec. 10, 1925

Leave Overcoat at Home When You Go to Worship, Moral

High Point, Dec. 7—While services were being conducted at the First Methodist Protestant church here last night, thieves entered the woman’s assembly room and escape with four overcoats.

The police were notified immediately of the theft and began an investigation, but the robbers have not been caught. A similar robbery occurred in the First Presbyterian church at Greensboro last night while the pastor, Dr. Charles F. Myers, was offering a prayer. Bloodhounds were placed on the trail and one arrest has been made.
