Show There is a story of a stolen car which has drawn more attention locally In Kokomo than elsewhere. The car was stolen from the Chicago branch of the Haynes Automobile company, and the thief escaped. He was traced and finally located lo-cated in the far west. Detectives sent after him were successful and he was put in jail at Seattle. Securing bail he escaped and stole the car a second sec-ond time and was again caught. In court, on the second case, he again escaped, through an upper story by a high leap. He was again caught and on the third attempt was held. The court gave him into the possession of the officers from Chicago, Chi-cago, and they started west with him. He was manacled hand and foot, hut yet he managed to jump from the train and escape. In spite of his manacles he has not yet been caught. The case is considered one of the most remarkable in criminal crim-inal records and every effort is being made to apprehend the man who stole the Haynes and got away with the goods twice. |
