NOELL Robbery Attempt Is Foiled An attempted armed rob bery was foiled here Monday around 3 o'clock by the cool ness of the proprietor of a local superette. When a young boy poked a pistol In the back of Gaynelle Brown, proprietor of Brown's Superette on Frank In Street, and demanded that he open the cash register, Brown told him that he did not know how and that the man who knew how to open the register was upstairs. Thereupon the boy, who had got Brown to turn his back by asking for a pack of chew ing gum, turned a key lock ing the register as he attemp ted to open it. Unable to open the register he fled from the store and Brown called police. Offices of the Sheriff's Department said yesterday that it is believed that the boy who attempted to rob Brown was one of two young boys who entered Powell's Storeon the Baltimore Road around 11 o'clock on Sunday night. Two boys from out of the state who gave their ages as 15 and 16 were picked up by officers and questioned for some time. Sheriff Clarence Davis said that while he felt that there was a strong probability that the boys were guilty that officers did not have sufficient evidence to hold them for trial in Juv enile Court. Davis said that entry into the Powell Store was made by twisting off a lock on the front door. He said he was notified around 11 o'clock Sun day night of the robbery by Edward Woodard of Inez who was passing the store when he noticed the door was opened and called him through the Warren Police phone. The only thing found miss ing from the Powell Store was a few cartons of clgaretts, Sheriff Davis said.
