ROBBER'S LOOT UNEARTHED Pointer Seeking Possum Scratch* Up Express Pouch. (JOiumDia, AUg. 11.?An e.xiremei interesting police mystery has sue denly developed as the result of th chance discovery by a pointer dog ( an express pouch and a number < pieces of jewelry hidden beneat rocks in Newman's woods, just nort of Columbia. The police say that the pouch : the one that was tak . when th express car of the northbound Cubs Florida special on the Seaboard A Line railway was robbed on the nigl of March 28 last at about 6:4 o'clock within several blocks of th Lincoln street passenger station. The jewelry, according to the p< lice, was taken in a second robber; the nature and details of which W. ( Cathcart. chief of the police depar ?? * -? ' J Vl /~\ AAlll/? T? t ilient, btLIU > raici ua I ut luu'u u< divulge at this time. The express pouch was found 1 contain official express papers whic Chief Cathcart says are the papei that were in the pouch taken fro: the Seaboard special. The express pouch and jeweli were discovered last Sunday mornin about 9:30 o'clock by a pointer do owned by a negro named Neal Weatl ers. Weathers was possum huntin and the pointer, scratching beneat the rocks for a possum, scratched u pieces of the pouch, which was parti . decayed, and a small paper envelop ' containing a ring. A ' epresentativ of The State heard of the discover day before yesterday, and yesterda obtained a release of the story froi - Chief Cathcart. No arrests na\ been made but it is probable that th jewelry will lead to something. The jewelry, according to Chi? Cathcart and the negro, consists < [; several gold rings, a gold watch cas< a gold bracelet and a diamond ea ring. Xegro Was Hunting Neal Weathers, the negro, is en ployed at the Lawton & Gillespi hardware store, 1603 Main stree Saturday Weathers said that at th time of the discovery he was huntin ? with his seven hound dogs and pointer in the thick pine woods o the lands of George W. Xewmai northwest of the city, between th Hyatt Park and the Broad Riv? roads, and about a half mile from th Seaboard Air Line track. One of the hounds came upon possum beneath some rocks, accon } ing to Weathers, and the point? while scratching beneath the roch for the possum scratched up piec? of what the negro said looked 1 him like an old cemeni sack and small paper envelope cantaining ring. Weathers said that he pulled or the sack a bit from beneath the rock [- - ' The sack, he said, was weathere and falling to pieces and had appa; v ently been buried some time. I envelopes which he pulled ov Weathers said he found five gol rings, a gold watch case, a gold brac< let and an earring with a diamond i it. Weathers said that he did n? bother the papers that were in th sack nor did he pull the sack con pletelv out from under the rocks. The jewelry, Weathers said, h took home with him. He said the he did not know what to do with i Monday morning he was at the La? ton & Gillespie store at 7 o'clock an told C. B. Cooper, one of the clerk of the find and asked what shoul be done. According to Mr. Cooper, polic reached the store between 12 o'cloc and 1 oclock that afternoon. Tfc negro then had gone to his home I get the jewelry to bring it to tt store, Mr. Cooper said. A little later on Monday afternoc Detective Shorter got in touch wil Weathers and they went to the sp< ? where the loot was found. The sack, as Chief Cathcart sai proved to be the express pouch tak< from the Seaboard special. Thi with the jewelry, was taken in har by the police. Chief Cathcart said that the pape in the pouch had given no clue. T1 fact that nothing except papers w; in the pouch at the time that it wi taken from the express car last Mar< gives rise to the belief, according i the chief, that the jewelry was lotaken in another robbery. The chi< said that he would be able to te more about the jewelry in a day < so. Train Robbed.
