T.S. STORY WAS ROBBED

H. Taylor who has been here only a few days from St. Louis, was tried in 
police court this morning and fined $70. on a charge of larceny from the 
person of T.S. Story. Mr. T.S. Story hails from Heflin. He came to the city 
Saturday, made purchases and then proceeded to test the liquid refreshments 
served by the several saloons of the city. Story met up with Taylor, took two 
or three and then went with Taylor to a barber shop. While Taylor was being 
shaved, Story fell asleep, and when aroused he left a pair of shoes in the 
shop. They went down Moore street and had gone about half a block when Story 
thought of his shoes. Taylor told him to sit down and he would get them for 
him. Story sat down to wait on a lumber pile and soon was in a semi-conscious 
condition, his senses being numbed by intoxicants. Taylor, according to 
Story's statements, returned and searched his pockets. Finding no money to 
amount to anything he took his cuff buttons, tie and other property on his 
person. The case was turned over to Policeman Jurels who soon succeeded in 
landing Taylor behind bars. Anniston Evening Star.
