After awhile he went into the smoker and, getting into Conversation with some friends, Tie did not come back into the rear car till he reached Charlotte, When,1' however, he did corns and looked for' his overcoat. It was gone. .Diligent ..search and in quiry revealed the fact that one of the passengers r remembered some one's picking up ft coat and saying, "Somebody has forgotten his coat, I'll take it on and give it to him It I can find out who it is." s But It seems that the fellow who lifted It wast very, careful not to get In the way where the owner or his friends could run upon him and re cover the lost garment -s Ths owner. however, at a later hour found out who the Individual was that had been sitting near the coat In, the car and that, he had left at 4 p. m. for Gas tonla. Upon his return home, he narrated the facts to Officer Johnston, who at once took the matter up with the chief at Gastoma. . , . 1 , This 4 officer said he remembered seeing the suspected fellow get oft the train, carrying an overcoat and prom ised to follow the case up. Tester terday he located his man , and went to demand the goods. The accused denied having any overcoat. He was then told that his guilt could be proven, but that the owner- did not care to prosecute the case provided the coat was returned. The ' fellow then went - out and brought in the coat' Next the chief told him there was a pair of gloves in one of the pocket and he must restore them. Again a prompt denial followed to the effect that he had seen no gloves. But threat from the officer that un less they were produced at once he would carry him off to Jail had the desired effect and the gloves were not long in appearing.
