  Sheriff W.C. Andrews of Surry County, with special assistance from State 
Police Investigator Berryman of thw Fifth District out of Norfolk, is 
seeking three Negro men in connection with an armed robbery and murder at 
Bacon's Castle last Wednesday afternoon. 

  According to Sheriff Andrews, three men held up Pete's Place at Bacon's 
Castle between 2:45 and 3 p.m. on Nov. 18, and escaped with a large sum of 
money after shooting Herbert (Dee) Logan.  Three shots were fired, two of them 
striking Logan, who was fatally injured. 

  In connection with this armed robbery and another incident which took place 
Monday, Nov. 16, at the residence of M.H. Misenheimer on Route 10, about a 
mile from Spring Grove, the Surry County Board of Supervisors is offering 
rewards.  The Board voted at its meeting last week to offer a $500. reward for 
information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons 
involved in each of the robberies. 

  According to Sheriff Andrews, two white men asked at the Misenheimer 
residence for assistance, pushed their way into the house, and robbed Mr. 
Misenheimer of about $100.  A pistol was also taken from the residence, 
Andrews said.
