    Mr. & Mrs. W. Barney Flanders went home Saturday night from their resturant up town. Their home just two and a half blocks from the courthouse northwest. Upon entering their home a colored man had hid in a room and the Flanders' soon faced a single barrelled shotgun threatening Mrs. Flanders if they gave any alarm. As he cast his flashlight around the room Mr. Flanders rushed the man. In the scuffle the man held on to the gun and fled the scene, dashing out the front door slamming it shut and he had locked them in their home. After calling out neighbors arrived. The tracks were visable Sunday morning confirming his identity. The house had been ransacked, an axe and hammer were placed at the front door inside. Several small things were missing. Later on the night policeman, Garrard, became suspicious of Edd Mclendon and he fit the description. He was jailed when the Flanders identified him. He was tried before Judge Blount Monday afternoon and found guilty on three counts. He was given one year for each count on the chain gang.
