The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1931-08-06

According to Carson's story, Hin
man, using concealed pistol as a
weapon, forced him to drive to RAM
sey park, remove his trousers and
drove away with his car. Human
then picked up two local girls and
started on tour which was intend
ed to terminate on the Pacific coast.
The capture was brought about at
Window, their first stop, and he was
returned to Redwood Falls that night.
Human was finally caught by Les
ter Tate, state sanitary Inspector of
Cannon Falls, and turned over to the
Window police after he and DR.. ]. w.
Golden, Redwood Falls veterinarian,
had anticipated and prepared for the
stealing of car by the young man
who had been here since July IL. The
two girls who were apparently duped
by his story were absolved of blame.
They declared they did not suspect
his intentions until they discovered
their pursuit at Window.
Met Girls on Train
Human seemingly has been a free
lancing man of leisure who went
wherever he felt the urge. Meeting
the two young women in New York
on their way to Redwood Falls he
placed this city in his itinerary and
consequently has been here three
weeks. After deciding to plead gull
ty he told Sheriff Kise of his wife and
children in Maine.
Following the establishment of his
headquarters here early in July, Hin
man made the acquaintance of DR..
Golden and spent considerable time
telling of the unlimited financial and
social resources Of his family. AS
time progressed the story grew until
it went beyond the limits Of logic and
his favorite audience began to at
tach suspicion to the young man.
Tate, whose business brings him in
contact with Golden, began to listen
in and the two concluded the steal
ing of an automobile would be the
ultimate result after the stranger be-
gan to tell of a contemplated trip to
Minneapolis for the purpose of pur-
chasing machine.
He started the automobile buying
procedure by fancying his brother
bringing the family car to Minneapo-
lis for his use. Later his brother was
detained in Chicago and finally the
car was there awaiting his arrival
but in need of repairs. This led him
to plans for trading or buying either
a Cord or Cadillac would do.
The two amateur sleuths, going
about their daily business, weighed
every possibility and always arrived
at the same conclusion-that a car
would be stolen to make good his
bluff. When and how was a matter
to be determined by the well dressed
young man who boasted of his
wealth.
Told of Purchase
Thursday he announced his inten-
ion of going to Minneapolis to make
he purchase and added he was pre-
pairing to take the young women to
California where one Of them had
secured position.
