Two Jailed Charged
With Stealing Fish
Thieves late Saturday night or
early Sunday morning entered the
fish house of W. C. Waff on East
Water Street, making away with a
quantity of shad valued at about SSO
and approximately 20 gallons of
gasoline in the house.
Mr. Waff, who is incapacitated,
had T. D. Bembridge do the fishing
on shares, which means that both
lost their profits on the fish, while
the gasoline is a total loss to Mr.
Bembridge, who furnishes the gaso
line. Entrance to the fish house
was gained by prying open the back
door.
Officers had suspected the guilty
parties, but it was not until Tuesday
that they arrested Woodrow Gay and
Robert Henderson, whom they learn
ed had sold the fish in Elizabeth City.
They were placed in jail and will be
tried in Recorder’s Court Friday
morning.
