TAKES FALSE Oath
AUTO WAS Stolen
Owner Loans It to Brother Who
Figures in Collision

The local man. at $40 in the eve
ming, reported to Lieutenant Samuel
Bamforth that his car had been stol-
en- in Plainville, and the alarm was
broadcast throughout the state. Yes
terday. Deputy Sheriff Greer OF Suf-
field came to this city and accom-
panied by Sergeant Flynn, inter-
viewed Brooks as to his reason for
failing to present himself in Suf-
field court as a result OF the COLI
sion. 1t developed, according to the
police, that the local man. after
having received notice from the
state motor vehicle department, OF
the collision, went to Hartford and
filled out a report in which he took
an oath that his car had been stol-
en-. The motor vehicle department
has been notified OF the accident by
the owner OF the other car
Ottie Brooks and Harold Edge
comb, both Of SIS Arch street, this
city. are wanted by the authorities
Of Suffield in connection with a COL
lision In that town on July 4, but
according to information obtained by
the local police, the young men are
believed to be in Detroit, Mich, De-
tective Sergeant William P. McCue
stated today.
George Brooks OF 1910 West Main
street, this city, will not be arrested
but may be brought before the state
commissioner OF motor vehicles to
explain an alleged false oath
he took, Sergeant McCue said,
His car, containing the registration
certificate and his operators license.
was loaned to his brother, Ottie, and
Edgecomb on July 4, in Plainville.
and shortly after 3 o'clock in the
afternoon he was notified by them
that the car had collided with an
other machine in Suffield, en- route
to Riverside Park. Springfield, Mass.
Sergeants McCue and Flynn did
not believe Brooks story and after
an interview during which the sit
uation was gone into at great length
he Is said to have admitted that his
car had not been stolen and his
iceaSol LUZ IIdhluS luS ldlSe report
to the police was to protect his
brother and Edgecomb. neither of
whom were licensed operators.
He said that when he loaned
them the car, he told them not to
US his license or registration certi-
ficate il case they became involved
In an accident. They took the risk,
he said, and had the accident. They
were not obgliged to post bonds for
their appearance in court, because
they left the damaged automobile
for security.
Relative to loaning his license.
Sergeant McCue pointed out that
there is a question as to whether
Brooks violated the law or not, as
he claims he simply left it in the
car and warned his brother and
Edgecomb against making use of it.
The loan was made in Plainville,
Sergeant McCue said, but 1t is
doubtful that violation Of the law
could be proven.
