Fearful of the banks, she had been hiding it about in convenient places, and she had decided to get it all together. Leaving the house for a short time, upon her return she found all of her money gone and a small negro boy, whom she has been caring for, had also left. The police were notified and soon rounded up the boy, who denied the theft, but later confessed the crime, and restored a part of the money; Further pressure induced Iflm to say that he' had given another boy part of the money, which was traced to a third negro, who made restitution, and Nora agaiu became possessor of the cash. She was then advised to deposit the money in one of the banks with the instructions to allow no one to check on it, unless she was present with the passbook.?'Sumter Herald.
