every turn of the roads in the sur.
rounding country.
Evidence that the "Grey Ghosts"
owner does not care what he takes
and is as willing to commit petty
theft as a daring burglary Of con-
sequence, is shown by the fact that
on one occasion he went SO far as to
steal drilling machine belonging
to a ranchman, who owns place at
Grand avenue and Foothill boulevard.
The tracks Of the automobile tires
showed plainly where the auto pi-
rate had hitched the machine to the
back of his car, and then sped away.
One of the strange features in con-
nection with the case is the fact that
the "auto pirate" seems to know every
crook and turn in the roads leading
in and about Glendora, Covina,
Duarte, Monrovia, Claremont and 9TH
err towns. When shooting his car
along over the smooth highways he
never seems to hesitate at turn or
slow down for a railroad crossing or
bridge.
