the basis of a deep city probe by

we have evidence that the boys
OF this band have sold new parts of
autos they have stolen 70 business
men of supposed good judgment at
ridiculously low prices, and with no
good explanations" said a member
Of the department today. ITO any
man of good Judgment il would be
apparent that there was something
wrong when these boys offered, for
instance, a new body OF an auto for
S11, or new tires for 50, engine parts
and other accessories for almost
nothing. The buying of these parts
by business men without investiga-
ton has developed operations which
puts the latter in a light Of being in
