2 Men Captured In Ball Bros. Robbery

Henry Brown and Mark Malachi of Lynch To Be Taken To Pineville

Henry Brown and Mark Malachi, both colored, are in the custody of the
local police, awaiting their removal to Pineville, where they will be tried
before Judge W.T.Davis of the Circuit Court, which convened Monday morning.
Brown, who is 20 years old, and Malachi, 35, were captured by the local
police yesterday after they had broken into and burglarized the restaurant
owned by Ball Brothers, near the railroad station. they escaped with $34 in
cash and a quantity of goods which they were able to carry off.
The two men were captured by the police after a search which lasted an
hour, in a little shanty occupied by negroes near the square known as McCay
Block, on the other side of the tracks.
All the stolen property, with the exception of a dollar or two in cash,
was recovered.
The two men had arrived from Lynch the early part of the week. It is
reported that Brown, the younger of the two, is a deserter from the army,
having escaped from Camp Upton in 1918.
