Special to The Charlotte Observer.
, Monroe, Dec. 23. If the deposition o
. a man supposed to be dying is true,
- vone of the most bold, and cowardly
highway robberies ever heard occurred
: todiy four miles from Monroe. Last
night a young man, Lowry, whose par
; ents live In the county south of here,
came to Monroe from Alabama, on his
wav home to spend Christmas. He re
mained in town last night, and his
trunk not having arrived, concluded h
would go down to Wingate to see his
uncle. As it is only six miles he start
ed to walk. After leaving town he
met a young fellow named Nicholson
the two having pieviously known each
other. Nicholson and Lowery, talking
)n the usual way, walked on together.
After a while Nicholson said: "Let's
swap guns. ' Dowery replied all ngh:
and drew his pistol out and handed i,
to Nicholson to look at. As soon as the
latter got the pistol, he jumped in front
o f the .other man, and said, ''Damn you,
pull off that watch and hand it here."
Lowery said, "What do you mean,
Bill?" The other replied that he meant
to have that watch or kill him, and the
watch was handed over. Receiving it,
the robber then demanded what money
his victim had, and received it, too,
$9 or $10. As soon as Nicholson had se
cured this, he delioerately rnsed the
pistol and shot Lowery. The ball struck
the man fair over the heart. !i.l hit
ting some memorandum books in the
vest pocket was deflected to the right.
Not being shot down, Lowery wheeled
and ran. Nicholson h'ed again, the
ball taking effect in the lower part of
the b ick. One more shut was fired, but
the bail went wild, and Lowery contin
ued to run. Reaching a negro house
near by. the alarm was given and soon
the neighborhood turned out. i
Nicholson was caught, the watch, a
32-calibre pistol and 'J were found on
ti,a iiivi Mil.'- r,r-rm.- if tin n'uin
ate Lowery's story exactly.
