SINGING IN THE JAIL
Some Good Music Made By
Those Awaiting Trial
Iionnie Clinnililee, Awaiting Trial on
Charge of Stealing a Mule, Sinjfs
ti'ood liuss Negro (juurtcl ami a
Voillei- add to F.iijoyiiient.
The three score or more prisoners
in Wake county jail who are await
ing trial at the September term of
Wake superior court are treated to
music that is worth paying money
to hear. Through the long hours of
the night some of the prisoners break
forth into song. In one part of the
Juil a yodler will hold the attention;
in another part a quartet of negro
men will cause .the walls to ring with
sound. .
The finest music of all, according
to those who are so fortunate as to
hear it, is that rendered by Lonnie
Chumblee, a white man awaiting trial
for stealing a mule, lie has been
in the prison for several weeks and
has had time to remember those
songs that were taugiii mm uy ins
mother. Though his body is crumped
in a cell, his spirit, seems as free us
bird. At almost, any hour. of the
night Lonnie may be heard singing.
A large, strong man physically, he
has a powerful, mellow bass voire.
He sings the .hymns and tunes of
long ago. "Where Is My Wondering
Hoy Tonight?" is the favorite. -of the
fellow who faces a possible road sen
tence for stealing u mule.
'Yes, I heard him last night," said
Mr. Green, the assistant jailor to
day, "and he sure has a good voice.
I was trying to go to sleep, but didn t
in i ii (1 staying awake to Injur ( liam
blee sing."

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
West Durham Office to Be

Not lee Kocoivcd by Postmaster Pick

MelroH)litan Insurance Company
Koblieiy I'lisolvcil
(Special to The Times. )
Durham, N. C, Sept. 2:5 Post
master L. E. Pickard of West Dur
ham, has received from the postofflce
department at Washington notice
that, a potsal savings bank will be
given his ollice November 25.
...'This came as a complete surprise
resterday, just us did the notice that.
L'uvhum is to have one opened soon.
The office has received no direct in-
sti'uction yet, but lias had tne word
that the office will be a savings bank
two months later.
in that connection it is interesting
to note that the date of opening the
Dm hum postoflice savings bank lias
been changed to November 25. -The
Associated Press dispatches of -yes
terday Indicated tins. This delay of
the Durham .opening may have some
thing to do with the oilier, (lie two
starling .November 25. The First
itional Hank had been designated
is .the Durham postal depository.
It will be a real big help to the
West .Durham people who- have two
largo mills and are so far removed
frnii banking facilities, , It could not
have come to any people near here
when it would have helped to much
a. these. A natural sKiti tsnness
about banks Is some sections, is over
conic, by the governments - guaran
tee, and that's the special good -that
it does in the communities wherein
it is placed.
Mrs. John S. Cuniiighnm leit yes
terday for Lynchburg, Virginia
where she was called by a telegram
announcing the operation .upon- her
son, Mr. John W. Cuninghani.
Mr. Cuninghani hud an attack of
appendicitis and had got, to go to
the hospital for the operation. At
this time it Is not known what his
condition is. He is a salesman in
the Craddock Tterry shoe company
of that city and has occasionally vis
ited Durham. The message did not
indicate that there was anything se
rious.
After spending the day working
out the robbery the night, belore ot
the Metropolitan Insurance Com
pany's office here, the police were
unable to find any evidence yester
day that- would tend to -justily an
arrest.
The matter was reported yesterday
morning to the officers.- Charge
was made that during the night.
sometime between nine o clock and
the opening yesterday morning, the
of lice on the fourth floor of the Trust
buliding was entered and an amount
in excess of $100 was taken. Ser
geant Cates went to work on the
case and lound -that the drawer in
the desk of the office had been prized
open and the papers scattered over
the floor. The money is alleged to
have been secured-that way.
Manager Blacklcy reported that
mutter and in doing so declared that
he had left the door unlocked. He
said that he had nobody else to
blame for his carelessness and that
the entrance into the office made the
theft easy. As there was a change
in the business management, there
was a checking up yesterday, but
nothing crooked had been found.
That the robbery was (done by
someone familiar with the surround
ings is believed by the officers. There

HYPNOTIZED GIRL ON
THE WITNESS STAND
Chicago, Sept. 23 Mildred llilney
aged 17, in giving evidence before
Judge Harry P. Donlan, in a case in
which her mother charged Mni. Cora
V. Monroe with swindling, seemed
under some hypnotic influence. The
girl sat opposite Mrs. i Monroe and
kept her eyea fixed on her. She told
a story altogether different from that
the prosecuting attorney, who called
attention to the fact. The court ad
journed and In the judge's chamber
the girl recanted the story told on
the stand and reiterated that told
the prosecuting attorney.
A man can sit up all night in a
poker game and never feel it, but
being kept awake one hour by the
baby i will break down his health.
Being married to a strenuous wo
mun prevents a man from living the
slmlpe life.
