Evans Does Fine Work In Recovering Most Of Stolen Money After Arrest Of Boy BOY ADMITS GUILT, SAYS HE WAS DRUNK Claims Two Other Boys Demanded Share Of Money Or They Would Inform In Him, Then They Informed ?The home of Mrs. Kate Mintz, of Ash, was entered and robbed of about S350.00 in cash Saturday night. The family was sleeping in the house at the time. An investigation by Rural Policeman W. D. Evans led to the arrest of Dewey Edwards, son of Mr. and Mrs. Troy Edwards, who is said to be between 16 and 17 years old. He readily told the officer where he had hidden most of the money and a search led tc its recovery. Brought to jail, young Edwards accounted for the missing part of the money by saying that J. B Carlisle, 15 year old son of Jim Calisle, and Daniel Carlisle, iyyear-old son of George Carisle saw him with the money he hat' taken fiom the Mintz home. He alleged that these boys told him that if he would divide the wallet they would not tell on him According to his story Edwards gave J. B. Carlisle 570.00 and Daniel Carlisle, $28.00. After receiving this, Edwards says that the boys turned around and informed on him. So, after he reached jail he told the officers of their part in the affair The Carlisle boys are not accused of participating in the robbery but of accepting a bribe to keep silent. Rural Policeman Evans was investigating the case further last night and it is understood that the alleged part of the two Carlisle boys is being gone into fully and that they may face indictments. When the representative of the Pilot visited young Edwards at the jail last night he was frank and candid enough in speaking about the robbery. He opened his remarks by saying: "I just hac one drink too many." He went or to tell that the door of the Mints home was unlocked and he walked in, found the money and was making away with it when he encountered the Carlisle boys. None of the three boys have any criminal record. They are understood to be of good family.
