CAPTURED MAN WHO ROBBED SPATE STORE

Orville Grim Arrested In Benton Harbor and Returned Here—Admits He Did the Job. Orville Grim, 20 years of age, admits that he robbed the store of James W. Spate at Newland about Sept. 12th. He was arrested in Benton Harbor, Mich., and Sheriff McColly went to Niles, Mich., Thursday and the sheriff from Benton Harbor brought Grim there and he consented to his return here without the formality of a requisition. Grim admitted his guilt to the sheriff and, in fact, turned over part of the jewelry stolen at that time. A letter in his pocket from a sister in Madison, Wis., stated that she had disposed of two of the watches in Chicago and used the money for a room and to purchase their tickets to Madison. The letter said that the writer was afraid to say on paper all that she would like to say but advised her brother to be very careful as it looked suspicious for him to be offering new jewelry for sale. Grim’s father and mother are working for a family in Barkley township and are said to be good people. Grim will have a hearing next week and will probably be sentenced to Jeffersonville. The jewelry stolen had been placed for sale on commission with Miss Cecelia Spate and was valued at about S2OO, which she had to make good.
