Police Lock Up 'Phantom'
Again on Burglary Charges
Charles Baxter Jr.. 21-year-old
Negro who served three years and
three months on the roads after
being convicted of burglarizing
Beaufort homes in 1948, is in the
county jail charged again with
breaking and entering.
Baxter, known as "the phantom"
for his repeated entries into Beau
fort homes several years ago will
be given a preliminary hearing in
County Recorder's Court this morn
ing. Baxter was a star witness in
last week's inquest on the death of
Albert Fallin. Baxter said he was
with Fallin at the time Fallin was
murdered.
Deputy Sheriff Marshall Ayscue
arrested Baxter about 8 p.m. Thurs
day after Sheriff Hugh Salter, As
sistant Police Chief Carlton Garner
and Officer Ayscue searched Bax
ter's home .in the 400 block of
Craven Street.
Gets Warrant
The sheriff got a search warrant
at about 5:30. Baxter, who lives
with his uncle, Roy Potter, was
home when the officers arrived. He
took them upstairs through his
room, the sheriff said, and into an
other room.
While they were there, the
sheriff said Baxter was talking up
a storm. Then when they went into
Baxter's room where they found
things that have been stolen from
Beaufort homes, h<: slipped down
stairs and out of the house.
Officer Ayscue then cruised
around the neighborhood and
found Baxter about 15 minutes
laterj The youth is being held
without bond. Officer Gamer was
instrumental in Baxter's arrest six
years ago.
Sheriff Salter said that after the
boy served his term, he wprked as
a fisherman and was fishing south
of here last summer. He returned
this fall.
In Baxter's room officers found
Mrs. Prytherch's shoulder bag but
not the wallet Mrs. Prytherch said
was taken from her house last
Wednesday. In the bag was a lip
stick. Mrs.' Prytherch described it
and then the sheriff showed it to
her and she identified it as hers
as well as the pocketbook.
Wears Stolen Jacket
At the time of his arrest, Baxter
was wearing a leather jacket which
Hugh Lee Fulcher identified as his.
Hugh is the son of Dr. Luther
Fulcher whose home was burglar
ized during the holidays.
Also found among Baxter's
things was a cigarette lighter
which was taken from the John
Johnson home on Queen Street be
fore Christmas.
Baxter has admitted nothing.
According to the sheriff, he said
he found the green pocketbook on
the porch of the place he stays on
Wednesday morning. The lighter,
he says, he "bought down south."
As for the leather jacket, he says
that he takes it off in the pool
room and he might have picked up
somebody else's Jacket by mistake.
The sheriff said that Baxter was
one of two persons the officers sus
pected! The other one, he said,
left several weeks ago on a fish
boat.
The burglaries with which Beau
fort has been plagued usually oc
curred between midnight and
dawn.

Countians Contribute
$3,500 to Polio' Drive
Legislator Gets
Bill on Property
State Representative D. G. Bell
said yesterday that Newport has
requested introduction of a bill in
the general assembly which would
allow the town to transfer property
for an industrial site without
auctioning it off to the highest bid
der.
The property is owned by the
town, having been given to New
port by aeveral citizens. It lies
along the railroad. Should any firm
wish to put a plant along the rail
road, the bill would allow the town
to deed the property to that firm
without advertising the property
for ule.
The bill would apply only to
that one piece of property, ac
cording to George Ball, Newport
town attorney. ?
Representative Bell also Mid
that he is not completely in agree- ,
ment with the bill regarding re- 1
duction of taxes on small outboard
motor commercial fishing boats.
As it stands now, Mr. Bell nM,
small boats are still paying more,
proportionately, than the big boats.
He said he hopes some amend
ment may be drafted which would
equalize the tax.
Carteret's legislator returned to
Raleigh yesterday afternoon after
spending the weekend at home.
