Show Body in Motor Trunk, But It Wasn't Murder CHICAGO, ILL. Police Lieut. William Drury and a squad of officers offi-cers at the Rogers Park police station sta-tion swung into action after Mildred Roloff and Ann Gerber said they were positive they had seen a murder mur-der car. "A hand and a foot were sticking out of the trunk of the car when it passed us," they told the officers. "Then the driver stopped, stepped out. shoved the hand and foot inside, locked the trunk and drove on." They gave police the license number, num-ber, which was traced to a cigar distributing company, which owned several cars used by salesmen. It was seven hours before police found a garage mechanic who knew one of the salesmen who had driven the car. "This afternoon I was working on his car," said the mechanic, Gus Knoblock. "He complained it was rattling, so I got into the trunk to listen for the noise while he drove. Then I had him lock me in the trunk so I could hear better." |
