Charlotte, Oct. 9 (AP)—Confiscated weapons don’t worry the Queen City police long.
Be they expensive imported German eight-shooters or the negro’s favorite hollow-ground razor, they are all hammered into one shapeless mass and thrown away by the police after confiscation, Chief Alex West has averred. In answer to the question of what the police did with captured artillery and cutlery.
All of which appears to answer the oft-repeated rumor that the coppers kept the confiscated stuff for curios or convert it to their own use.
