?: CAME FROM EUROPE TO LAURENS JAIL Man Arrested at Woodruff in Connection With Robbery Tells of His Travels. | Laurens, Jan. 9.?The man who was arrested at Woodruff and brought to the Laurens county jail as a suspect in connection with the Oro robbery and the Lanford tragedy has become somewhat communi*o^?o o-ftor alepninir for a day or so. He says his name is James Moran and claims tkat he recently came to this country from Europe, landing at New Orleans. From there he says he drifted to Atlanta, thence into South Carolina. He refuses, however, to discuss any of the incidents with which he is supposed to be connected in this locality. He is evidently a foreigner and appears to be about 40 years of age.
