CAUTION CAUSED HIS ARREST
Avoiding Principal Streets
Made Sheriff Suspicious.
Kansas City Detective Here To
Identify Him.

Kansas City detectives are in To-
peka today to identify Earl Tuck, self
confessed automobile thief, who was
captured early this week at Emporia
after he had stolen a Ford car from
in front of the building occupied by
the Capper publications These de-
tectives informed Sheriff Hugh Lari-
mer that Tuck's OPERATIONS were sup
posed to include auto stealing at st.
Joseph, Kansas City, Joplin, Indian
apolis and Chicago. However. he
will be prosecuted for stealing the
machine in Topeka this week.
Tuck, now that he is caught, talks
freely of his exploits. Larimer asked
him why he hadn't changed the en-
CINE number as per his regular plan
Tuck stated that he didn't have
time.
Eff you look in the lining OF that
stolen car you'll find the dyes with
which we change the numbers" said
Sure enough, Investigation substan-
tiated his statement. The dyes were
encased in a box ordinarily used for
shaving soap. Pliers. files and many
other Instruments used to make car
unrecognizable was found in Tuck $
suitcase.
In addition, he had printed station
cry on which appeared this caption:
Earl Vincent, Aerialist and Aero
naut."
Earl Vincent was an alias used by
Tuck. Everything that would tend to
indicate Tuck a man with a business
other than automobile stealing was in
his possession.
The sheriff at Emporia received in
formation that two men in a car had
stopped the car and slept in it for sew
eral hours during the night. He
drove out, passed them, turned around
and followed the two men. He noted
that they drove around in order to
avoid going thru Emporia. That
aroused his suspicious to such an ex-
tent that he gave the engine more gas,
drove opposite the two men and or
dered them to stop at the point of a
gun.
