Hugh Truluck, assistan cashier of the First National bank o Olanta, this afternoon, and his signet confession to the part he played ii the robbery of the home of Sam W Young, Florence county farmer, of ai > irpn safe containing Liberty bonds war saving stamps and mortgages ant other securities amounting to betweei $80,000 and $90,000, events toda^ followed thick, and fast in a robberj that has created no little interest ii this section of the state. In the ab sence of Mr. Young, the safe was re moved from the house and was founc r ' later in Lynche's river rifled of it; rich contents. Arrest was made in Sumter yester day of two brothers, M. A. Truiucl and A. H. Truluek and they v/er< brought here today and questionec elosely by Mr. Whitfield, a represen tative of the Burns Detective agency who has worked up the case and caus ed the arrest of the two men in Sumter. One Gets Release When the third Truluck boy, a cou sin of the two men arrested in Sunr ter, was arrested while in the Bani of Otlanta this morning, a sensatior was created. It was found later thai M. A. Truluck had nothing to do with the actual theft of the safe and h? was released. It was established thai the other Truluck, however, had made a confidante of him, that he knew all aDout tne Dusiness irom oegmiuug n end. As a result of the work of the de. tectives, $26,000 worth of bonds, wai savings stamps and securities have been recovered so far and the officers believe they will get the rest of the stolen loot. When they walked intc the sheriff's office here they entered at once into a continuation of theii confession to Mr. Whitfield, a Burns agency detective whfo put the clinchers on the information he had previously received by having one of the Truluck boys sign the same name tc - *f*,**'>heek he h'ad signed on a check dra^iT^rTthe First National bank oi Florence for $10,00. This check bore the signature of Fred A. Jones, which the boy confessed was the assumed name he had adopted to carrj ? out in Florence the disposal, of the j stolen Liberty bonds. Followed Clues Far * J With the confession from Hugh 4 Truluck, the master mind who engineered the sale of the stolen securi\ ties, and a confession from the twc i Tmlnck cousins, who committed the actual theft, Mr. Whitfield believes that he has closed a case upon which he has been working for several months and one tjiat has led him from Florida to Maryland and on to New York, for it was in a New York bank of the stolen bonds, through a check that he found the first trace of one of the stolen bonds, through a checi signed for its purchase. It was stated in the confession ol M. A. Truluck, that the only regis* tered bond in the list had been burned. It was a bond for $1,000. It was stated today by Mr. Whitfield that following the confession of the Truluck boys, he visited the Presbyteriar church at Olanta, and found stored under the steps the war saving certificates which they declared had beer hidden there. It was stated today that Mr. Young some time ago withdrew his funds anc / securities from the First Nationa bank of Olanta, because of some dis agreement. This fact is believed tc strengthen the evidence against the assistant cashier, who officers believ( concocted the plot to take possessior ? ? i ]? oi me uuuus. Sumter, Oct. 14.?A. P.

McCaughrin, Pres. i k [mayor blease writes again j ?last remarks on subjec1 | Tells All About It and Fully Explain: the Situation in Regard to Ward Lines i ; Editor of The Herald and News: The isfiue between Mr. J. H. Wfckei and myself jmade by him. H< made the direct cSarsre in public prin that council 'liaa^iven nothjr.g fron 'street improvement funds to Ward 4 I repl'ed with a plain statement o: J facts, pointing or+ work already com pleted and that vc-ed on favorably b\ ' council to be done in that ward, co3t j ing approiximately $20,000. In hii "come-back" card Mr. Wicker, with out intending- it perhaps, explain: | greatly the differences we Jifcve. Th< first and main one is his J opinion that Boundary stree^^Warc 4. Tl^e ' council and the peotfl& in 'eluding the residents of Ward 4 ant | Boundary street, know-otherwise. Th: I second reason for our differences i: dnp to the'fact that in his very happ} jand sublime ignorance, that ignoranc* j which has been said to be bliss, h< .thinks I am ignorant of Ward lines. I In his last effort Mr. Wicker makes 'many erroneous statements.- Onlj one?the ward line error?reallj needs attention. I dismiss his laborec attempt to be funny at the expense | of Aldermen Whitaker, Sligh, Wal i lace, Senn and fjardeman (men wh( have worked hard to build up New '* x ?' ;+ ,,,;i j berry) wirn tnc rtmaiiv uiat n* ww take more than Mr. Wicker's fiv< loads of sand-wit for him to explair that in the face of direct, positive absolute facts to the contrary?fact! he could have found out?he made th< J statement chat Ward '4 had receivec I nolhing. A comparison of the pavin? J done in Mr. Langford's many admin | istrations with that done in this ad j ministration of only one tefn#4=> r.o^ 'an issue here. While the gentlemer who were in charge of those severa administrations deserve crecfit for the J ??ood work they did, I f:now thej would not claim, as Mr. Wicker claimed, that they did some of the pavin? mentioned bv him more than eighl t # * . j years since, when that-particular pavI ing was laid within the past ninety J days. I disregard as unworthy <*6 notice, for Mr. Wicker perhaps did nol .really intend to make it, the seeming insinuation that the mayor may have sometimes dodged voting on questions . coming before council. j In the interest of local geography, as well as for the benefit of Mr. Wick* J er, who ought to know the lines of the I ward which he once represented in J council, his delimitations of the boun daries of Ward 4 should be straightened out. He gave the boundaries as follows: "From East Main to railroad, then the railroad to O'Neal] street, then O'Neall street is the dividing line between Wards 4 and 5." Certainly, he did not* mean "East Main street," for the eastern part of Main street runs out about Mr. W. L. Reighley's. Presumably, he intended -j. j. >> C4.:u j"west iviam sireeu oum nc j wrong. The ward lines of the town were fixed by acts of the legislature. The last act on the subject was approved December 21st, 1894, when i the charter of the town was renewed and when Ward 5 was first establish! ed. Since the date of that act the | boundaries of Ward 4 have been as follows: Caldwell street from the I town limits 911 the south to Main (street (Gilder & Weeks' corner), thence along Main street across both railroads to Drayton street (the resV x 1 ~ 1 T\ .?4- r* % ? Iervoir corner;, inence aiung uiajiun street to O'Neall street (Thornton house corner), thence O'Neall street to the town limits on the west. The Newberry mill and all depots, freight and passenger, are in Ward 4. The j work pointed out by me heretofore on O'Nea1! street and half of that on .west Main street was done, according to the legislative act, in Ward 4. The act I -refer to can be seen in the office of the clerk of the town and will disi approve absolutely the veiled accusation of Mr. Wicker that I charged to i Ward 4 paving: done i:i Ward 5. j For my part I close this controversy. Why try to convince a gentlemar who calls a whole block of asphalt navirwr on \T;incp street, between Mair land Friend streets, in Ward 4. a I ; "little piece of work done on the sidewalk in front of the Central house?' J?ut in closing1 I want to thank Mr, j Wicker for helpirpr council to get i Friend street paved?that street | which was paved, he now says, for the i benefit of the "merchants," and not r for Ward 4. In all probability that j street, which council thought impor5 tant to all of Newberry, would not have been paved had not Mr. Wicker given his signature to the petition therefor and/lent his influence to the wc/rk. I hope he will soon come back r to the proper view, which evidently he 1 ? held then?that paving should be done j t in Newberry for the best interest of ; i the whole town without regard to . ward lines. f Respectfully, Eugene S. Blease. ! !. JOHN 3. LEITZSEY FREED 5 IN UNITED STATES COURT i 3 It will be pleasing news to the ? friends of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Leitz1 sey and of Mr. John B.
