ARRESTS MADE
IN RAY HOLD-UP
(Continued from Page On)
the young man drew an automatic
pistol, but there were no shots
fired. About that time another
young man, his face masked with
a handkerchief, entered the store,
a revolver in his hand. The rob
bers tied the merchant with a rope,
blind-folded asd gagged him. After
rifling his cash drawer and taking
what merchandise they wanted they
fled. Some time later Mr. Ray
succeeded in freeing his hands, took
a knife from his pocket and cut
the rope which bound him.
Shortly alter arriving at the scene
of the robbery Sheriff Slagle order
ed bloodhounds from Clayton, Ga.
The dogs first picked up a trail
leadiftg to Mr. Kay's home a few
hundred yards from his store. Tak
en back to the store, the hounds
took another scent and trailed it
to the home of Furman Hall, fath
er of Joe Hall.
Sheriff Plays Hunch
Mr. Hall informed the sheriff,
who was accompanied by Deputy
John Dills and Mr. Singleton, own
er of the hounds, that he knew
nothing of the crime. The officers
had obtained some evidence lead
ing them to suspect Joe Hall. The
elder Hall, however, informed them
that Joe, who had been home from
Indiana on a two-weeks vacation,
and Farley, who had come with
him from Austin, Ind., had left on
Monday for Sylva on their way
back to Indiana. Others in the
community also told of seeing the
young men depart, but Sheriff Sla
gle had a hunch, and a good one it
proved.
With Deputy Dills and Jim Wiles,
a resident of the Burningtown sec
tion who could identify young Hall
and his friend, Farley, the sheriff
went to Dillsboro. There the of
ficers kept a lookout on highway
No. 10 all night. Early in the
morning they went to Sylva and
met a bus arriving from Bryson
City. Hall and Farley were among
its .passengers. On examining them
the officers found in their posses-
sionythe pocket knives, the watches
arid'' $55.10, nearly half of it in
small change. They also found a
revolver and an automatic pistol in
thqir possession. The two offered
no explanation as to their where
abouts since their reported depar
ture , from Hall's home Monday.
They submitted to arrest peaceably.
Prisoners Identified
When the prisoners were taken
to Mr. Ray's store this morning
the merchant immediately identified
Farley as the man who lassoed him
with the overalls.
"You are the one I tussled with,"
he promptly remarked.
And when he had a good look at
Hall he said:
"Yep, you're the other one. I
can tell by your coat."
Despite his years, Mr. Ray sur
vived the shock of the attack and
robbery remarkably well. He suf
fered a few scratches and bruises
in the brawl with his assailants, but
was not seriously injured.
