DETECTIVE FAILS
TO RETURN AUTO
EASTERN SLEUTH LEAVES HERE
AFTER DISCOVERING WRlTS
OF ATTACHMENTS

Suffering from a protracted case OF
''home Sickness Lieutenant of De
tectives Romance Thayer, of Worces-
ter, Mass, left yesterday for his home
city.
The lieutenant was detailed to
Brunswick together with Patrolman
Stanley Tyler for the purpose of re
turing George Brunnell who was ar
rested by Glynn county officers fol.
lowing a requisition from the COVER
nor of Massachusetts and approved by
Governor Dorsey, and also to bring
back with him an eight-cylinder tour
ing car which Brunnell is charged
with stealing from his father.
Officer Tyler left with BRUNEI last
Wednesday night, while his partner
remained inN brunswick to negotiate
for the moving of the machine, for
which a few attchments are issued.
until yesterday.
The machine is held in lieu of It's
storage, board bill owed by Brun-
nell and also, perhaps, attorney fees
far in excess of any other claims upon
it. r-
1t is recalled that the automobile
is the one used by four men who were
charged with robbing Alex Livings-
toms store at Brookman several weeks
ago, and who were subsequently ac-
Quilted in Judge Beach's court Oc-
tober 16 The men were represented
by attornies F.. M. Scarlet, .Jr., and
Roy Lang, neither of whom received
any fee for their services.
1t is believed that trick was at
tempted by friends of Brunnell, or
his companions, to prefer the charge
of theft against him in Worcester
and thereby obtain free transporta-
ton on the extradition to that city,
as we'll as releasing themselves
from the other obligations following
their arrest.
The plan succeeded so far as hav-
ing Brunnell brought back to Wor-
cester, but the machine is still here
and it will remain unless full pay
ments are made to all concerned
The other three men, who are Ho
mer Harpin, f. o. Morgan and w. o.
Harvey left the city Immediately af-
ter Brunnell's second arrest and are
thought to be hiding either in Jack
sonville or Tampa.

COMPLAIN ABOUT
DOUBLE SESSION
DOUBLE SESSION IN SCHOOLS is
PLACED UNDER CRITICISM
OF MANY FAMILIES.

Considerable disapproval is express
ed in the city regarding the double
session school system in vogue here
The matter was brought to the at
tentlon OF the Board of Education in.
directly on many occasions OF late
but it seems imminent that large
petition will reach that Board before
very long -
While it is safely presumed that the
Board has made careful study of
the situation. Numerous complaints
have been made regarding the pres
ent plan and more particularly now
that the sessions extend into the dark
ness of the evenings
1t is reasoned that under the pres
ent system many children are prohib-
tied from attending vocational pur
suit after the regular school hours
besides being unable to take music
and dancing lessons, etc.
1t is also considered strain upon
the younger children to remain in
class rooms for the same period OF
the older children, as is the case witt
those who attend high school.
Several cities in the South, par
ticularly Atlanta have raised great
protest against the double session
system and in nearly every instance
the old system was returned into
practice.
Just what action the Board will take
in this matter will be viewed with
considerable interest
