Sign Painter Arrested
On Felony Charges
n. Chief Hague Kiser stated this
J morning (Tuesday) that a series
*of breaking and entering in va
rious business houses of the town
of Tryon had been quelled, and
that the guilty party had been
taken into custody and charged
with the crimes.
G. W. Segee, who came here
several months ago and went in
to the sign painting business with
headquarters over the A&P store,
confessed to the charges entered
against him and was taken to the
county jail at Columbus where
he was held for investigation. He
was later released on bond pend
ing Superior Court action.
The first place entered by Segee
was that of G. H. Holmes on the
20th, where he obtained the sum
of $23.00; the second one was that
of Dr. J. E. Derby’s dental office
where he took personal belongings;
)the next on the list was that of
E. Perry Manville, local insur
ance office, where he took a quan
tity of cash.
At the time of his arrest, Kiser
stated that Segee was hidden in a
closet in the building preparatory
to entering another office.
The arrest came about by clever
detective work on the part of
Tryon’s police. The chief had ob
tained the serial number of some
of the money taken, and thereby
Checked upon the party spending
it. “As I See It”
France, Brittain and Russia will
aid Czechoslovakia in event of
war—Hitler declares that he will
never recede from demand for
Sudenteriland.
