Safe Crackers Pleased
Prefer Anson's Hospitality to itis
Uosulta That Mi^ht Conin Out
of <i Trial in South carolinu.
Cor. Charlotte Observer.
Wadoshoro, May 10.?The
safe crackers are naturally much
relieve I at the decision of Govern01
Glenn not to honor requisition
niters, since under the South
Carolina laws they could ho imprisoned
f..r life it convicted?
and no one douhts that they would
he convicted. This last statement
is not to ho taken to mean that
every one thinks the South Cnro
linn authorities have overwhelm
|i-?^ tHUICIHiO II^JKIIMl, 1 llf 111 , IIUl 11
is believed thnt it would lte very
easy to convince a South Carolina
juiy that they have. Under the
United States laws the men would
l?o imprisoned for tivo yours, and
North Carolina law* would pive
tlieni not more than ten, so it is
easy to see why the safecrackers
prefer to stay with us, now that
thev are enjoying our hospitality,
though it is safe to ussume that if
they could take up their old calling
again they would give Anson
county a wide berth.
The point ? f law which their
attorney, Mr J T Bennett, insisted
upon, and which probably caused
Gov Glenn's decision, was whether
the Governor had a legal right
to honor requisitions for men under
indictment in his own State

Anotbiir cause for Gov Glenn's
action in the mutter in liiui, under
the United States extradition laws
(North Carolina has none), South
Carolina would he called upon to
hear the expense of the capture of
these men if she wants them, and
this she was not willing to do.
And wo the accomplished safe ma
nipulators will remain quietly in
j til awaiting trial at luc September
term of Superior court, unlo-a
the Federal government calls for
them which is not prgbriiiile. Tin y
will, of couree, not apply for hail,
as they would lie rearrested immediately,
and Ucsi.lcs, the bonds
would tie lixed at an amount beyond
their reach 'l'he question
will arise in some minds, will not
such smooth crentlemei: ho nhlo to
o
escap i from n small jail! Bui it
may be remembered that 101 laworth
ami Travor ??ore con lined
in Ibis county jail for many months
and although they bad suws hound
in hack" of books, sent tlivm, and
various other devices planned for
their escape, it was not until they
were taken t.i the penitentiary
that one succeeded in loosening
bis bonds of captivity. One of
these men said after he left this
jail, "we sawed and roaped, but
there was no getting away from
old man Gruddy" (the vigilant
slier11T at that time)

Charlotte Chronicle.
.Ve believe there is some risk
involved in Gov Glenn's action in
deciding to hold the Wadeahoro
gang on the churge of carrying
conceuled weapons, later to have
them tnrned over to South Caro
lina for trial on charges of safe
ot'iiol/ inor Skin\i\ouo tkoo

for carrying concealod weapon*
and are sent to prison or the cham
gang? They would be sure to
make their escape, for to their
own ingenuity would be added
nutsido aid. We cannot but !eel
that these men ought to have
been handed over to South Carolina
for punishment.
