POLICE HAD FORMER
LOCAL MANS AUTO
Continued from page one)

Continued from page one)
but with no result. One day. young
lady who was working in an office
in Detroit, looked out on the street
and saw car of unusual design and
build and she remembered having
read about Mr.. Stokoe's car having
been stolen a long time before. She
took the number of the machine and
compared it with the number which
was mentioned in the advertising of
the stolen car and found that it was
the very machine the police were
looking for. She called headquarters
and told them of her discovery. They
told her they had no record of ma
chine by that number having been
stolen and when she insisted that
they certainly must have, they told
her that they had no time to fool
away on that kind of business any
way and would have nothing to do
with the case.
The young lady communicated with
Mr.. Stokoe and told him what she
discovered and the attitude which the
police had taken in the matter and
he Immediately went down and con-
fronted them about it. The result
was that they turned his car over to
him and he drove it home. The truth
of the matter being, that the police
had had the machine practically all
of the time, if not all the time since
it disappeared and having taken a
fancy to it decided that they would
keep it themselves and only gave it
up when matters started getting so
hot that they thought hey thad better
let lose of it before they burned their
fingers.
In attempting to disguise the car,
the police had cut the wheels down
two inches and had made several
other alterations so that it would
not be detected.
