John P. Ovei man. the last man

which Sap admit* he wore on the
nlgTC-nf the holdup.
Th# Southern llolel and the resi

*"? 1 he wore Into court and !he
sut-rane that th" police found at hi

of the loot taken in th' Southern h<>
t? 1 burglary. He v.l>s jM. .,Iso
a suit of clothes and a ladles'
' from the Albert sou residence,
one of the first witnesses to take
t -fund was l.loyd Winslow. <mii
? at W. S White's, who testified
t t on Inst Friday between r, Uud 7
.? i'Ck. while lie was keeping Ills
J.it . r\- grocery store on Southern
a veil lie while his father R. C. Wins
lew was at supper, ftap entered the
Store and held him up for between
t\v? and three dollars.
"I was making a charge on the
- at the time." be testified, "and
I' no particular attention when
I negro entered. When I looked
iroin the book, lie had his gun
.<? oss the showcase pointing at me
i Ordered me to hand over all the
Mi iey. I did so without Hopping
to count It. and think I gave him
about $2.50. He then told no to
put up my hands and turn my back
toward him. I did so and he backed
out."
Young Winslow said he bad reen
Sap a number of times before (he
holdup and he identified him posi
tively.
C. A Long, Parsonage street mer
chant. testified that on the sill of*
last May Sap came info his store to
bu) a nalr of socks. 1*he price was
1 ? cents and Sap threw a quarter
? mi the counter, according to the wit
ii-ss. Mr. Long bad Just opened up
t store and bad not had opportun
ity to put any change |n the cash
diawer. and when he drew his wal
I. t from his pocket to make change.
Sap snatched the purse, the ?ock*.
and tin quarter and beat If. Mr.
Long, who 1* elderly and was in poor
h'ulth at the time, was unable to
-|V. Chare for more than a block,
and file fleet foof*??i negro escaped
T! Is was another Cgse In which Sap
!? red a plea of guilty, so far an
itching the purse |* concerned,
?t he claims fhut it contained onlv*
t. Mr Long admitted that be did
know the exact amount.
J L. Houghton. Itichanlson street
?i' rchanl. testified that Sap went out
Of his Store one Saturday Isst May
with two bags of flour under his
coat. This was the charge on which
Trial Justice Spence gave the_
i i tMm . >
fondant nix months on the mails.
F. It. Gibson said Sap had Iwn to
his store a number of times and that
he had oomf to know him wejl. be
cause things had a W4,v of turning
up missing after the negro left. On
last Friday night. lie said, the n^gro
came Into his store, corner of Shir-,
ley street and Skinner avenue, and,
with his tun partially concealed inj
his coat, pointed il at Mr. Gibson and
demanded money. .Mr. Gibson, who
Is an elderly and apparently not a
vigorous man. says that In* was.
standing in the door of the lilt!* of
fice in his store at the time, some
what above the- negro. who Is l?e|pw
average height, and "I sort of fell
over on him and smothered him and
the weapon." the merchant testified.
This was at 8:within a half hour
AT" tTie time and hardly a two tnin .
ntes* walk from where o. C. Itrav
was shot on the same night.
Henry Williams. Parsonage street
merchant, testified to hearing the
alarm hell on his cash drawer ring
one day as he sat on the sidewalk
In front of his store; and when he
ran in, he said. Sap was getting out
bv a back door. The charge in till*
case was forcible trespass.
J. I?. Overman, local insurance
man who was with O. C. Ilray on the
night the latter was shot. prior to
the shooting, testified that as he was
on his way home and was on Persse
street at the foot of Fearing a negro
of the same description as Sap stuck
the muzzle of a gwn into his stomach
and said:
"Gimme your money!'*
"f shoved the uun aside tjie first
time." Mr. Overman testified, "but
when he 11.rust it against my bodv
a s? crtml time ahd in a menacing
toin ordered me to put up m\ hands
t did ? o. I bad about three dollars
iu the side pocket of my troi.sers
and he tot all of it. and walked off
sideways."
Mr. Overman's home is at 11?2
Persse street; and In was within lens
than a block of it when lie was held
Up Sap knew him.when Mr Over
man visited the negro's cqll, as the
Insurance man had collected Insur
ance i n a number of occasion* from
the negro's mother: but Mr. Over
man hail never noticed Sap.
That Police Officers 1'oul Men
and Twiddy were clo-fc oi: Sap's
heels twice rill the night of the -!
ing w is developed from testimony
of the negro, who took the -1and in
his own behalf when he was not sal
Vfied with the story told by wi*
nouses for the State. Once in the far
tory district shortly after lino was
shot about o'clock, be saw Officer
Houghton approaching him and
highballed. The other time was
when from an automobile Officer
Twiddy caught sight of the negro on
Main street near l)r Kend rick's res
idence. Sap was beaded for the one
o'clock freight, but he eluded Twld
dy by heading across vacant lots
back toward Cherry,afreet. He didn't
catch th ? freight that night but It
seems to have been bis regular de
pendence in getting from Kfltahcth
Cltv to Fdenton.
Sap did not present the appear
ance of the mentally defective negro
that many had pictured him by rear
on of the nlckmitiie. short for Sap
lo ad, which be has acquired in l-Mli
abeth'Cifv. He was not represented
by counsel and displayed rather
more than average acumen both In
testifying and In questioning wit
nesses.
"You don't think f got your flout,
do vou?" he questioned J. I.. Iloiivh
ton.
"Ain't you Jes saying that be^aus'
you've beard Sap's In a lot of ?rou
ble?" the negro pressed the witness
when the latter hud answered the
foregoing question In tin affirma
tive.
Sap denies that lie has partirlpat
ed lii any of the holdups that have
terrorized the ett> recently and even
denies that j he has had any gun
whatever. However, both l.lovd
Wlnslow and John P. Overman tes
tified that the gut) Sap Is allege^ to
have pawned at Fdenton and which
lay on the table before County Pros
ecutor Sawyer resembled the weapon}
that was drawn on them last Friday'
night. I
