Three Men captured, One Shot,
110 Gallons of Booze. Lively
Automobile chase. j
Yesterday afternoon Sheriff
Thompson got wind of the coming
. si,
of two automobiles loaded with
corn liquor, and about A o'clock
he summoned a posse and putAotit
for the chase. In the chase was
Sheriff Thompson, Deputy R. W.
Morris, chief of police Gash ad
special officer R. H. Gates, bK
sides a number of other citizens
Knowing the blockaders were
coming in machines tlie Sheriff
prepared for the chase by making
the trip in automobiles. The
blockaders were sighted near
Brooksdale and the posse started
in pursuit, but being sighted by
the blockaders they made" ffigl,
and being in a Hupmobile, whidh
is no mean machine, they madei
good time. However, the Sherp
and his crowd were gaining 0n
them, and when getting withjn
distance began shooting at'- the
machine in an attempt to punc
ture the tires, but in this they
failed, however, they lodged a few
bird shot in the arm ofone of the
blockaders. At this point the two
blockaders left the car and took
to the woods, but Sheriff Thomp
son proved to be the better sprin
ter and finally ran them down. The
two men captured by Sheriff
Thompson were Thomas Leonard,
of Lexingto 1, and Burton Charles
of Winston-Salem
TTT I i fit on ni i
While Mienir lhompson was
after the occupants of this ma
chine Deputy Morris was cha'singr
ancther machine which had'fiC
suspiciously, and after a lively
chase and coming too close the
driver of this car drove into the
woods and left his car. The car
which was aReo, belonged to D.
M. Andrews, and in it was found
about 60 gallons of liquor. This
morning Mr. Andrews came in and
gave himself up.
In the chase Leonard,, is stated
.
above, was shot in the arm with a
few small bird shot, the wound
however is not at all serious. Both
Leonard and Charles were brought
to town, and with the liquor, plac
ed in jail. The Hupmobile captur
ed from these two men was dis
mantled and placed in the Freeland
Bradsher Motor Co. garage, as
was also the Reo car.
Sheriff Thompson has known for
some tiim that these men were
hauling liquor through here and
selling it, but the information
would alwayscome in just after
they had passed, and while he has
been on the lookout they always
got away. This time knowledge
came to the Sheriff that they pass
ed through Monday evening head
ed for Virgilina, so he was on the
wat h. It is a known fact that our
County and town offieers have de
termined to put a stop to this kiryd
of business and the man who thinks
i
he can get by them is doomed to
disappointment and capture This
was a big haul and the good people
of the Cuunty will take off their
hats to these officers for the splen
did catch.
At the trial this morning Leon
ard and Charles were bound over
to court under a $2000.00 bond and
M r.' Andrews under a $750 bond.
Leonard and Charles are in jail
having failed to give bond at this
writing.
