HABqjFT^CHAPTAPQPA the for the tilillf totanal of a ***** M a# - THE ENTERPRISE BAND OF SUGAR THIEVES CAUGHT SATURDAY NIGHT One Arrest Leads to Others; All Admit Their Guilt For several months the warehoase at the Williams ton wharf has been broken into now and then and qnanti of sugar s.olen. The police force waa bttiuetl for a time in that the) were no: able to get any due as to where the sugar was going. Recently, however, a little information leaked from the rubbers' combination which reveeled the whole scheme and a trap was set. Saturday night, Luther Peel the I Deputy Sheriff and two extra depotie»' went to the warehouse for the pur poee of waylaying the robbers. Tbo> j found that the warehouse had al- J ready been broken open, but no sugar was found by the robbers, so th* drayman was told not to go down as it would be useless. The oflkers thinking they had sufficient evidence to trap the rogues, they started to the home of Ben Biggs, a negro. At the home of Biggs they received a thread that led them to the home of John 1. Hyman, a negro thief with a reputation. The officer* rolled Hyman out of bed and began to quoation him and for two hoars he evaded their questions, but ftnaDy things became too hot for him and he came across with the whale story, tcfl tng how he had gone into the ware boose and stolen the sugar. This he did on several occasion.-: r.nd delivered it to Jesse Bogern a colored man on the Skewarkee road. Hyman was then placed in jafl sad the officers went for Rrgere who also came across and said that he was not alone, bat haul ed the goods with the car of Wdl MiUr and that Mills war. along, driv ing the car and acting as a co-pnrtner in the game. Bogota and Hymrn reported that the stolen goods were delivered to! Ben Biggs and Tom Mills and that they received four dollrrs a bag for Upon this evidence Mills was arrest ed aad he too came across with furth er evidence to convict an involved. Mflls was plseed in Jail with Hymen j and Bogers. Then the posse went after Ben Biggs who, at the time, was net at hooae. bet they panned him until they found him several miles down the Washington road, apparently peddl ing whisky; for he had a jug in his car which contained half a ration aad which Biggs declared to be the prop erty of one Woolard, a drunken negro who was riding with him. The lr»t statement was disputed by Wool.-ird This combination of thieve. hat been stealing for a long time, running sugar out to Ben Biggs' and several other men who manuftetare the sugar into liquor. The gang has had the fair awing, stealing, making and sell ing liquor and running rough shod over the country. The trial of the four men is before the court this afternoon and while it is not yet settled, it is though they i wfll be bound over to the next t .-ns of the Martin County Superior Court MBS.
