Officers Without Glue To Robbery Near Grensboro
Grenseboro, Oct 20. County officers have no clue to the identity of two men who held up and robbed a filling station 10 miles east of here early Wednesday morning. They tied operator Lee Ingle and escaped with 75 dollars in a Chrysler car. A hearing is set this afternoon before Judge D H Collins for B Boswell and R F New on assault and highway robbery charges connected with a robbery three nights earlier on the Randleman road. They likely will be bound over to superior court as magistrates cannot set higher bonds.
