Taken Back To Philadel
phia To Answer Charges
Of Hold-Up, Robbery and
Murder; Detectives With
Local Officers Set Clever
Trap; Had Been With
Show Six Weeks; Not
Suspected By Comrades
DetecMves James Coyle, Max
Berg a?d Eugene Brenizer, mem
bers of Captain James P. Ryan's:
."Big Mob," Philadelphia Detec
tives, visited Louisburg Tuesday
and picked up Edward Howe.
John Freeborn and James Green
or, all white, wanted In Philadel
phia to answer charges OH hold
up, robbery and murder.
Detective Coye informed the
TIMES -that several months ago
fchere were twenty-eight or thirty!
hold up and robberies of gas sta
tions, drug stores and other plac
es in the city, which were traced
to a certain gang led by Phillip
Meehan, and they had- been work
ing on rounding it up and arrest
ing those connected wiMi it since.
Before this they had arrested
Meehan, who committed suicide in
his cell room in Jail, and Sylves
ter Prince, Loyd Mitchell and
Thomas Sheedy. These are in jail
in Philadelphia awaiting trial. It
was in these arrests t'hat the de
tectives received information that
Howe, Freeborn and Greenor.
were connected in the crimes, and
a search for their whereabouts.
They were located in Louisburg
traveling with tihe World's Expo
sition Shows. The detectives ar
rived in Louisburg Monday even
ing and in company with Sheriff
John P. Moore and Deputy Sher- j
iff Fred Frazler, made their plans !
to trap and take into custody the
suspects. The trap worked and j
the men were arrested about 2
o'clock Tuesday afternoon and
b'rqught to the Sheriff's office and
then transferred to the County
jail, where later on they were tok
en on their trip back to Philadel
phia for trial.
It was understood that one of j
the detectives took a job as lab
orer wit'h the shows about a week
or more ago and remained, with
out detection until he received the
information he wanted, and the
arrests followed his disappear
ance and return about noon Tues
day with officers.
It was learned that' Howe and
Freeborn were with the Midget
Show and Greenor was with the
Esquire. It was learned they
had been with these shows about
six weeks and had impressed their
associates as being especially fine
young men, and had won t>he con
fidence and good will of their com
panions.
The detectives stated they had
prison records and were members
of a very bad gang in the Penn
sylvania city.
The work of the Detectives in 1
Louisburg was very cleverly plan- |
ned and executed as no one had 1
thought of such a happening un
til tihe coup was made and the
trio brought to Jail, which arous- !
ed much excitement among the
many on the streets.
The Detectives expressed great
appreciations for the excellent! as
sistance rendered them by Sheriff
Moore, Deputy Sheriff Frazier and
Special Officer D. T. Holmes.
Mr. Max Gruberg, Manager
of the World's Exposition Shows,
playing Franklin County Fair, ex
pressed great satisfaction at the
action of the officers In getting
these men, if they are guilty, as
he does not wish persons of this
character in his organization. He
was enthusiastic in his assistance
to the officers. /

with an accident 011 a railroad
when he was 18 years old, breaks
ing his hip, both pelvis bones,
right arm and ldft ankle, and four
fingers were amputated from his

a few hours to live, but slightly
more than a month later he walk- '

baseball with an artificial hand of
his own construction.
A few years ago Blystone broke ;

held by a Hindo, by writing 1,200!
letters on a rice grain. Soon there
after he set anothei' record of
1,615 on a single grain, the re

Ambusher Wounds
Victim On
Highway
Ollie Jeffreys, a Franklin Coun
ty white man who amused him
self Sunday night by ambushing
himself at the sid? of a highway
and, officers said, tiring a shot
gun at passing motorists, at least
one of whom was wounded, was
held in jail Monday after he had
been bracked down by blood
hounds.
The "sniper" was captured Mon
day morning, asleep In a tobacco
strip room about 200 yards from '
t>he scene of the shootings. A shot |
gun was found nearby.
Sheriff John Moore said that
Jeffreys denied the shooting, buti
that "we have a great deal of evi
dence which points to him as the
guilty man." He added that he
was puzzled by Jeffreys' apparent
lack of motive, but surmised Miat
"whiskey was the cause of it."
The wounded motorist, Elbert
Harris, a Negro, was shot in the
face as he rode by the ambush, but
was not seriously wounded and is
expected to recover.
Following the shooting. Sheriff
Moore summoned W. R. Brooks,,
of Wilson, division superintendent
of State prison camps and a pack of
bloodhounds, which quickly track
ed down Jeffreys. Brooks said that
following his capture, Jeffreys at
first denied and then admitted the
shootings, saying he did it "Just
for fun."
Members of Sheriff Moore's
force indicated that it was possi
ble that another man was connec
ted with the shootings, but there
was no definite indication that j
another arrest is expected, al- 1
though Sheriff Moore said "we
still have some work to do on the j
case."
Sheriff Moore expressed the be
lief that Jeffreys may have been
lying in wait for some specific per
son against whom he had a
grudge.
Jeffreys was called for a hear
ing in Recorder's Court Tuesday j
but the case was continued.
Shot In Face
Buck Collins, colored, was shot .
by an unknown person near his'
home about seven miles east of
Louisburg on Tuesday about one
o'clock. He was brought to Drs. j
Perry & Wheless for treatment |
where it was found that while the I
wounds are painful they are not
serious. The officers have not as- ,
certained the assailant, although j
blood hounds were placed on the |
scene that- evening.
Later. ? Horace Collins, an
adopted .son, of Buck, who had
raised him from a small child ad- 1
mitted shooting his foster-father,
because he had reprimanded him
for not cutting some logs right.
He is being held by the officers.

In soundly thrashing Randolph-!
Macon 57-6 Wake Forest boosted
high Interest in Saturday's game.
The rush for reserved seats since

pop-eyed as the Baptists rolled up
their amazing score.

team Wake Forest presented Sat>- *
urday night is almost an entirely ^
different outfit from last year's
club, and we are in for a mighty _
tough battle Satmrday unless I'm
badly mistaken."
The sensational running of;
Wake Forest's sophomore backs,
oftentimes behind four and five- n
man interference, brought glow- S
itig tributes from sports writers tt
and fans. Marshall Edwards, [ P
Tony Oailovich, "Red" Mayberry, tf
Melvin Laytion and Jimmy Ring-1"
gold, all sophomore backs, turned ( b
in numerous long runs. I a
Everything summed up, the ' n
Baptists presented an empregna
ble defense coupled with a speedy, a
tricky offense. The sophomores s?
were masters of the situation at K
all times and many of bhem played r<
better than their more experien- g

FAIR ATTRACT
ING MANY
The 24th Annual County
Fair Goes Into History
With Its Closing Satur
day Night As The Larg
est And Best Attended
s One In It's History
Two days of continuous fain
did not dampen the interest or
the cooperation of the apprecia
tive people in the county who, in
spite of a pouring rain, brought
what, was probably the biggest
display of farm products that will
be shown in any county fair this
year and the management of the
; Fair and all those interested in it>
are most grateful to the people in
Franklin County who for twenty
; four years, have made ours The
Best known County Fair in the
State and done more to popular
ize Louisburg and Franklin Coun
, ty than everything else that takes
place in its borders. It is won
derful spirit of cooperation that
makes our Fair possible.
j There were six booths put* on
: by the students of vocational ag
riculture which speak highly for
{ the work being done by these stu
dents and their teachers. The
booth winning first prize in Ohia
class was put on by the Bunn
School, the second prize was won
by Epsom School and the third by
Gold Sand School. All of these
booths were well arranged and
show that these students are do
ing SDineMiing well worth while.
The WPA Sewing room had an
exhibit showing the wonderful
work being done by Mrs. J. B.
Yar borough, supervisor of the
sewing rooms, and the people
working in same.
The students of the 6th grade
of Harris School, taught by Miss

wonderful exhibit showing the
Lost' Colony in minature. This
exhibit was one of the most inter
est ones and received many com
pliments which reflect credit to
Miss Williams and the students of
the 6th grade at- Harris School.
The exhibits as a whole were
meritorius and certainly show
that the people in Franklfh Coun
ty know how to do things in the
right way and that>,they are all

festival. There are no less than 16
1 teiited attractions and 14 riding
devices.
Among the attractions will be
seen many that 'have appeared at
some of our nationally known ex

original Casion de Paris which
showed at the Paris Exposition of
1937. It features poses plastlque
and the Pence sisters, Wilhelmlna.
and Lottie May are the features
of that particular show. It gener
ally glorifies the American girl.
The Wall of Death was one of the
manyigood shows at Wembly park
one of London's well known play
grounds. It features Miss Dorothy
Stone, who once gave a command
performance before the former
King Edward VIII. and also Del
j Crouch trick and fancy rider.
The Hall of Science, with the
Monroe brothers, features many
of the illusions of the late How
ard Thurston, that master-mind
ofmagic.
Look presents many strange
and unusual freaks including
some that were cartooned by Rip
ley.
Esquire is a show of a "some
what different" nature, and will
prove quite interesting.
The Rainbow Frolics features
pretty dancing girls and funny
comedians and is produced by
