GARAGE THEFT
RING BROKEN
BY ARRESTS
Jail Four Negroes and
Recover Loot in
San Antonio.

With the arrest Of four negroes and
the recovery of tires and tubes valued
at several hundred dollars, detectives
believe they have captured band of
thieves who have been robbing garages
and filling stations in the small towns
near San Antonio.
At least six of the robberies are be-
lieved to have been committed by the
band and the loot brought to San An
tonic and sold.
One Of the negroes under arrest,
detectives say, has confessed to being
the leader of a band which preys on
garages in nearby towns.
The trail of the alleged gang was
first picked up by Detectives Bartholo-
mae and Grasshoff through an at
tempt to sell part of the loot stolen last
Friday from garage in Gonzales
where tires and tubes valued at more
than $500 were taken.
After rounding up four negroes i'm
plicated in the deal, the officers re-
covered most of the stolen goods and
believe they have connected at least
one of the gang with the robberies OF
garages at Seguin and F1oyesville.
Finger prints left on bits of glass
broken out of the door of the garage
at Gonzales, have been brought here
and will be compared with the finger
prints of the negroes in Jail.
