Tho crlmo Is believed to bo tho
work of n gang of International
thieves to whom Information of tho
Intended Bhlpmont leaked out. Tho
clovornoss of tho thoft is rovealed In
tho fact that although twolvo days

Tho most unusual feature of tho at

"1 can see my boy there once in n

Sentiment here is overwhelmingly
in favor of Mrs. Iesh. During the

but Mrs. Lesh refused to see them,
saying: "Now is not tho time for
church people to offer aid. Tho time
when I needed help was when I was
