Car Stolen and Found
A touring car owned by Raymond
J. Cunningham of Park street was
stolen Friday night from in front
of the Cunningham diner of West
Main street and recovered in Bris-
tol. Mr., Cunningham thought al
first that one of his brothers had
borrowed the car but inquiry showed
otherwise. He notified the author
tiles Saturday. Deputy Sheriff r.
W. Furroy went to the Pennington
cemetery but could find no trace at
this famed stripping place of stolen
| cars. The police of surrounding
localities were notified, and the
Bristol authorities found the car
yesterday on Riverside avenue,
where it had been parked for a
long time. II is believed that who
ever stole the auto did so to escape
severe wetting in the heavy down
pour of Friday night.
