MT. Burns did not find it out until he was ten miles this side of Montgomery. so he came on to Selma and went back over there yesterday to see if he could get track of the thief. Just as the crowd was coming out of thd car in Montgomery a fellow came meet ing the crowd and was squeezing his way toward the back end of the car.
