ing either on his elbow or on the
rail on the left hand side with his
body between the rails. The man's
back was towards the approaching
car. When the motorman brought the
car to a standstill he turned and said

SPECIAL AGENT WHITE WANTS REQUISITION
PAPERS FOR THE ARREST OF TWO WHITE MEN
Special Agent C. E. White, of the
Southern, went to Mt. Airy this morn
ing to receive from Solicitor Graves
a request that Governor Glenn issue
requisition papers for the persons of
M. K. Sutter and Joseph Gregory, two
white men. who have just finished a
jail sentence in the Petersburg Jail fn
Virginia.
Agent White wants the men on the
charge of breaking in the Southern's
dt'ixt, at Milton, Caswell county, on
the night of May 14. 1906.
The account of the robbery as pub
lished In the Sentinel is probably still
fresh in the minds of some of the read-
s.
Slitter and Gregory, both of whom
are well educated men, Sutter being of
an excellent Virginia family, had been
registered at the Milton hotel several
days when the deiot was broken Into.
The morning following the robbery
the men were nowhere In the town.
They had left town without paying
their hotel bill. The parties who en
tered the deitot carried off a pair of
pants, valued at about $25, and two
revolvers.
It was later discovered that the rob
bers had boldly cut -and stamped two
tickets to Emporia, Va.
Agent White suspected the two men'
mentioned above and found that they
had gone to Emiioria on the 1 o'clock
passengor train the night of the rob
bery. From Kmporla he tracked them
to Richmond, thence to Petersburg,
where the men were suspected of steal
Ing articles from n boarding house. At
Richmond Chief of Police Ragland
Joined Mr. White in the hunt for the
offenders. They were traced to Rocky
Mount, Va., thence to Florence, S. C,
thence to Charleston, S. C, and later
to Jacksonville, where acting on a re
quest by wire from the chief of nollce
ana Mr. white, some of Baldwin's men
arrested them.
The term in Jail at Petersburg, serv
ed as a penalty for the robbery at the
boarding house, has Just terminated.
The men had formerly told Agent
vyntie mat tney would come with him
to North Carolina withonn requisition
papers; Mr. White went to Petersburg
Sunday for the men, but regardless of
their promise they refused to come
wun mm without proper official papers.
Mr. White will go to Raleigh tonight
to secure me requisition papers.
7 he work of tracing Sutter and
Gregory was made very difficult y
their registering at the various hotels
unaer different names. .
WILL THE FORSYTH GRAND JURY INDICT TIGKET
AGENT PARNELL AND STATIONMASTER JACKSON?
"Will Ticket Agent Parnell and Sta

This question is being asked on the
streets, but of course no one i in po
sition to give definite answer.
Court will open next Monday and
th action of the arsnd Jury will late
ly depend largely upon Judge Moore's
charge. If be instructs the jurors to
take action indictments will follow.
Ticket Agent Parnell and Station
master Jackson do not appear to be
alarmed or excited in- the least over
the possibility of taking lodging with
Jailer Hanner provided they do not
give bail in case of indictment.
