stated that Danbaum came into his
Office on November II and said they
had recovered the Richardson car.

Tor Danbaum.

Briggs.

the reply.
Briggs said that following the dis.

he asked Danbaum whether he and
Pipkin had Greenberg up in Pipkin's
Office and had Shaken him down"
He said Danbaum denied this.
Not on Good Terms.
The recovered car was not
brought to the police station and
the only evidence Chief of Deteo-
tive Briggs had that it had been re-
turned to the owner was a receipt.
Attorney Baker asked Briggs
whether it was not true that he
didn't get along we'll with Detective
Danbaum. Briggs hesitated but on
Bakers demand for a definite
answer, shouted mo" He denied
that he turned his back when Dan

The testimony of young Green
berg was considered by many who
heard it, a weak attempt of a boy
to cover up the theft Of a car for
profit. Except for the mistake
made by the thieves in leaving the
bunch of keys in the tool box Of the
stolen car, the police would prob
ably never have heard of them.

Greenberg, who lives at 2023
Charles street, and is a Central High
school student, told the story of the
theft. A peculiar feature of his
story is that the meetings between
the youthful thieves took place in
the neighborhood Of Sixteenth and
Fifteenth and Dodge streets. Green
berg maintained that they just took
the car for a ride, but their move
ments while they had the car point
ed very strongly toward other mo-
tives.

The arrest of the thieves was
brought about by one Of those lit
tie things which often lead to the
detection of clever criminals. In this
case it was nothing but a bunch of
keys found in the tool box of the
recovered car by Mr.. Richardson.
He turned them over to Chief of Po-
lice Eberstein. They bore a name
disk with the name of Chrisman and
the address, $500 South Twentieth
street. When Chrisman was ar
rested he implicated Greenberg and
the latter confessed.
Don Chrisman and | were down
town the night of the peace celeba-
tion," said Greenberg, land we saw
the car standing there and we just
got in and took it. We had met
each other at Sixteenth and Dodge.
After we took the car we drove
down to Fifteenth and Dodge and
there we met Ralph Spellman. He
got in and then we drove out north
and out into the East Omaha bot
toms and drove the car into big
patch of weeds there and left it.
Then we came back on the street
car. We stayed down town all night
and early in the morning Spellman
and | went out to East Omaha and
got the car and drove it back and
put it in a garage at house near
Twentieth and Dodge. Then | went
to school"
why did you drive it out into
the weeds in East Omaha?" asked !
Mr.. Baker.
1--WE were afraid to drive it down
town again." said Greenberg. Il
well, then, why did you go out
there the next morning and get it,"
I'VE just wanted to see if it was
there"
Visited by Detectives.
Greenberg said that on the MORN
ing of November IL Danbaum and |
Pipkin came to his home and asked |
him where the car was. He main
tained that he didn't know and then
they took him to Pipkin's Office, he
said. There he finally told them
where it was and took them to the
garage at Twentieth and Dodge
streets. ...
After his incrimination through
