No Auto Thieves Paradise.
lBarre Times. }

Three persons who are said to be pro
fessiOnal automobile thieves received but
scant consideration when their cases came
up before a court in Burlington, the men
being sentenced to states prison for terms
varying from three and one-half to four
years. The men had drifted into the state
from other parts of the country and evil
IDENTIFY were of the impression that their
operations would be comparatively easy
i'm Vermont As a matter of fact. the
stealing of automobiles in Vermont ought
to be a rather difficult operation because
of the lack of hiding places such as are to
be found in a large city in which a stolen
machine might be stored until such time
as the excitement in the public mind sub
sides enough to permit driving the car
away or to allow the sale Of the car with
out much fear of detection. Vermont's
! open country does not lend itself we'll to
the covering up of the crime of automobile
stealing provided that the warning of the
theft is given sufficiently soon. At the
same time the authorities must be reason
ably alert. aided by the cooperation of
the public on the lookout for signs of sus-
l. Is.

disgraceful neglect of the disabled sold
