The Ellsworth’s were in Decatur attending the ball game and upon returning home in the evening they noticed that someone had pried open the door and ransacked the houseAfter a search it was determined that the $25 was the only thing missing and it is thought that a negro got this. Neighbors nearby saw a colored man around the house about this time and later saw him board the Clover Leaf East bound train. Sheriff Melchi was not notified of the robbery until about 7 o’clock in the evening and therefore it was almost impossible to give chase.
