G. II. Hennager, chief of the
indianapolis bureau Of in
vestigation of the department
of justice, was the last gov
ernment witness, basing his
testimony upon statements
which Wolf and Glenn made
in July, after State Police
Lieutenant Charles Bridges
had found the car in Wolf s
possession.
Glenn'S testimony was an ampli-
fication of the statements he made
to officials and reporters immedi-
ately after the car was taken from
Wolf. Glenn came here from Long
Island, N. Y, at his own expense,
to explain the transaction, it was
shown.
Wanted Smaller Car
Glenn declared that early this
year in Florida Wolf had told him
ne would like TO have a smaller car
than his Lincoln sedan. in which
to "knockout."
On March II, Glenn was in the
Claypool lobby here talking politics
with a group which he said induced
Hugh Ramsey, a DR.. Hahn, Jack
Shea, Democratic politician, and a
man who gave the name of Frank
M. Moore.
During the conversation Moore
disclosed that he was an alcohol
runner and was going out of busi-
ness. Moore said he had a Lincoln
coupe, belonging to him and his
partner, which he would like to sell,
according to Glenn. Moore wanted
to collect the whole amount for the
car and "gyp" his partner. with
whom he had quarreled, Glenn said.
Asked to See Coupe
Recalling the desire of Wolf for
another car, Glenn said he asked
to see the Lincoln coupe.
The car was parked outside the
hotel. Moore wanted $4,000 for 1t.
Moore showed Glenn the certificate
of title. Glenn copied motor and
body numbers from it and suggested
that Moore drive it to a garage to
have the motor inspected.
Moore, according to Glenn told
him to take the car, drive it, and
see him Tuesday night. This was
Saturday afternoon.
Glenn drove the car to his
brother Pats garage and found the
car numbers checked with the title.
He said he drove to the Statehcuse
and asked a state policeman in the
license division to see the papers
on the car. The policeman reported
the papers were out of the file.
offered S1,5OO for Car
He parked the car in Washington
street, south of the Statehouse and
went to VOLTS Office. Wolf said he
was busy and would see him Sum
day Glenn took the car to 8l4
Eastern avenue and stored it, he
testified. They drove to Lafayette
on business in VOLTS car Sunday. A
Lafayette lawyer said he saw moth
ing wrong with the deal. Wolf said
he would pay 81 500 for the car.
On Monday Glenn went to the
city police headquarters and was
told there was no record against the
coupe. he said. He went
back to the state license division and
found the records still missing, so
consulted state policeman Joseph
Shinn, who told him that as long as
the car numbers and certificate of
title checked, there was nothing on
which to base suspicion, Glenn said.
Glenn met Moore Tuesday night,
but they could not agree on the
price. They agreed to meet again
Thursday afternoon. Glenn reported
back to Wolf and Thursday noon
Wolf gave him $4,000 in cash and
told him to close the deal for that !
If he coul dnot get lower price he
testified.
Agreed on $1,000
Moore and Glenn dickered and
finally agreed on $4,000. Moore went
TO the notary public in the Claypool
lobby and signed over the certifi-
cate of title. Glenn got the title
at the Statehouse, re-
