Stanley Myers, employee of
the garage, who was forced
to ride in one Of the bandit
cars after the auto robbery,
said he identified suspects
pictures as "the birds who
took me for ride"
Chief Mike Morrissey who re-
turned from Covington, where legal
snags tied up extradition of the six
suspects, said the Buick car found
in possession of one of the prison
ers had been identified as one of
the two cars stolen from the north
side garage.
Motor Numbers Checked
The motor NUMBERS have been
checked definitely, he said. The car
was the property of W. A. Cart
wright, 3119 North Meridian street.
A Cadillac stolen at the same
time has not been found. The
Buick is held in the city garage at
Covington by the Kenton county
(Ky0 sheriff.
Myers, after first stating that the
pictures Of the Covington prisoners
were those of the garage looters,
declared that he wanted to see the
men in person, because they we're
dressed better when 1 saw them"
