the home of his sister for several
days, until he had to go to Florida,
he told the court.
Meanwhile, Wolf, he said, became
apprehensive about what might hap
pen if Moore's bootlegger partner
ever showed up. Glenn said he told
Wolf he was going to Florida, and
since he had not transferred the
title to Wolf yet, he would do 1t
there.
This would serve to make it more
difficult for the bootlegger to trace
the car.
Just before Glenn left, Wolf, he
testified, told him to take the car
to a garage to have the locks and
paint changed.
Title Issued in Florida
Glenn testified that when he went
to get the Florida title he. intro
duced himself to a clerk in the
Florida license department as an
employe of Carl Fisher. capitalist.
who had much to do with Miami's
development.
Glenn said he told the whole
story to the clerk and the clerk
readily agreed to issue the title and
made out the application himself.
Glenn said Ire did not even sign 1t.
The application bore a declara-
ton that the car was in Glenns
possession in Florida. Glenn ad-
mitted it was in indianapolis at the
time.
Glenn said he delivered this title
to Wolf when he returned here in
May.
On cross-examination the govern
ment got Glenn to admit that he is
a brother of Frank Glenn, fugitive
defendant in the interstate auto
mobile theft conspiracy case and
cousin of William Laffey, convicted
conspiracy case defendant. He said
he had little to do with the brother
or the cousin in the last two or
three years.
