FBI Fingerprints
As Identification
By James Wallace
Chapel Hill police last week arrested
Hubert Jarboe, charged him with lar-
ceny, and climaxed a series 01 tneits
in which over 20 coats were reported
stolen on the campus.
Chief W. T. Sloan withheld an
nouncement of Jarboe's internment so
that detection of other members of the
suspected "ring" could be facilitated.
Prisoner Silent
Alleging his name to be Hubert Jar-
boe and his home town to be Washing
ton, D. C, the prisoner has maintain
ed complete ' silence since his arrest
last Thursday night. Chief Sloan, in
an interview with a DTH reporter,
said that he suspected the man's real
name to be James Terrell. This sus
picion however cannot be substantiat
ed until the police department gets a
fingerprint report from the FBI in
Washington.
Hubert Yeargan, of the local police
department, caught the thief while he
was stealing Yeargan's coat in Gra
ham Memorial. Jarboe. declared his in
nocence of the other thefts and when
asked how he got to Chapel Hill re
plied that he had ridden a truck from
Raleigh. , -
On searching him, however, officers
found a wallet containing a drivers
license and an automobile registration
card. Becoming suspicious at this dis
covery, Chief Sloan sent policeman L.
H. Norwood and R. H. Mills, chief of
the Carrboro police, to search the area
surrounding Graham Memorial for a
car bearing the registration numbers.
Wife Found
Within 15 minutes the officers had
found the car, a 1935 Plymouth, and
in it a woman who claimed to be Jar
boe's wife. This was later substantiat
ed by a marriage certificate found in
her possession. The couple was mar-
