H - CRACKING SUSPECTS Preliminary Examination is Begun Today Before United States Commissioner Maxwell INSPECTOR GREGORY BE GINS TO WEAVE THE WEB Lady Declares That Two of Men Took Supper at Her Home the Night the Post office Was Robbed The preliminary hearing of the four men, James Lang, Walter Wood, Charles Rogers and H. B. Wilson, charged with entering the postoffice at Greer's, S. C. and cracking the safe, was begun in the Federal Court room this morning at 11 o'clock. District At torney A. E. Holton represents the government and Mr. Frank Armfleld, the defendants. United States Commis sioner D. G. Maxwell,: is hearing the evidence. Mr. H. T. Gregory, the very efficient postoffice inspector for the State of South Carolina, has accumulated a lot of very damaging evidence against all four of the men under arrest. In fact the evidence adduced at the morning's session of the court showed conclu sively that all four of the men were in the vicinity of Greer's, where the rob bery was committed and that they had the opportunity to commit the deed. While the evidencewasnot completed when The News went to press, it is very evident that probable cause has been shown. In this event, the men will be turned over to the South Carolina authorities and will be taken to Charleston where they are to be tried cn the charge of breaking into the postoffice at Greer's, breaking open the safe and taking therefrom $270.24 in money and stamps. The first witness introduced by the government was Mr.. Isham A. May field, the postmaster at Greer's. He stated that he was in charge of the postoffice at that place and was in charge of the office on the 16th of last January. The. office was broken into the night of the 16th, the safe was blown open and $270.24 in stamps and money were taken therefrom. Of the above amount, $195 was in stamps and the remainder was in silver money. According to Mr. Mayfleld's statement, the burglars entered the building through the front door by breaking a hasp. Once inside, they found it an easy matter to gain access to the room where the safe was located. Witness stated that he was awakened by Offi cer M. D. Littlefield between 2 and 3 o'clock on the morning of the 17th, and was informed of the robbery. He went at once to the building and found that the front door to the building had been opened and the safe had been blown to pieces. Near the safe was a small tin cup that contained some kind of liquid. Witness found on examining the safe that the dial had been knocked off and the front door to the safe had been blown off. He examined the inside and ascertained that tht stamps and money were gone; also some land ?eeds and insurance policies that were with his other papers. These papers : witness explained, were in a small tin I box inside the safe. This box was found a day or two afterwards, about l1'2 miles from the town. The insurance papers and land deeds were also round. Witness also stated that some tools, a hand hammer, three chisels and n enkey wrench were found about a ; square from the postoffice building. The safe wa3 locked when witness left j the building the night of the 16th. (Continusd On Fifth Page.) orribly Crushed ead-On Collision.
