C., where wte found tickets from Kings Mountain Bonded Warehouse bales. The State Bureau of Investigation was called In and Agent Turkle son took over. He conducted his investigation in sfeveral places, both in South and North Caro lina. On this case, Mr. Logan, then sheriff of the county, was invited in, but he told me the theft had occurred in the Kings Mountain city limits and was our problem. If Mr. Logan would do some of his own work, instead of looking for somebody with a camera and note pad. he might bte able to break some cases of his own, without having to claim credit for those others have han dled." Farr said the three were In Jail in. South Carolina for another cotton theft, and that retainers were filed with South Carolina officials in order that North Car >llna officers would be notified whon their sentences were com pleted. Chief of Police Logan, in re i porting the details of the case, produced a signed confession from Williams, which implicated Camp and Ratchford. Both, Mr. ] Mauney said, continued to deny the allegations. Williams was sen tenced to prison for a term of one to four years, while Camp and Ratchford drew sentences of six ! to nine years each. 1 > ? MORE ABOUT Plott Rites Continued from Page One 7*tremlstry, and so-forth. "To this round table Ed brought the warmth of the southland and an instinctive knowledge of local mineral resources. These attri butes plus his driving energy to ward building Jobs and security for his neighbors was a large fac tor in bringing a section of our operation to this locality. We trust that he will be so remem bered. - "We hope to build on the foun dation thus laid and to become a part of the community group. "In time the full fruits of Ed's work will be more evident. We join with you in regrets that It was not given that Ed could en joy them." Mr. Munson said: "The sudden passing of Mr. E. T. Plott represents a great loss and irreplaceable vacancy in the personnel of the Lithium Corpor ation. Mr. Plott has been associ ated with the corporation since 1946. His astute business ability nnd faith in the industrial future of this area caused him to spend a great deal of effort on the basic work of developing mineral re sources which at the time had no market and no means of extract tion. His foresightedness played a major part in bringing new in dustry into the area. "The corporation shares the sense of loss occasioned by tWe death of this community-minded citizen."
