WALNUT CROVECAR
THEFT SOLVED AS
RING" CONFESSES
MARSHALL YOUTHS ADJ
NIT SERIES OF CAR
BORROWINGS"

A ring of five juvenile car
thieves, ranging in age from IA
to II, admitted the theft of
machine owned by William S.
Kossel of Walnut Grove among
six automobile robberies in All
official grilling at Marshall
Thursday night.
The group consisted of two
girls and three boys. Questioned
by County Attorney c. j. DON
nelly with the assistance of Chief
Martin Linnan, Sheriff Harry
Croft and John Burns of the State
Bureau of Criminal Apprehen-
sion, the youngsters admitted the
following FRANKS:
Using DIR. w. w. Yaeger'S car
on the night of March IL; Attor-
ney James H. Halls car, March
IL; Kenneth Rydeen's, April 8;
Dean Byers, April g; w. E. Eek
hardt's, April IL; Odell Halvor-
sons of Marshall and Mr.. Kossels
April Is. The Halvorson car was
left damaged in ditch near Gar
vim early Sunday morning.
The other cars were all used
during parts of the evenings and
then taken back to Marshall. The
Rydeen car was stalled out of
town, but the riders asked truck
to push them into Marshall.
All of the youths were released
to the custody of their parents,
pending further investigation of
their records in school.
Mr.. Halvorson's car was taken
from in front of his apartment
Saturday night, and the five
young people drove in it to Gar
vim. and then started for Revere.
Because the gas was getting
low when they got to Walnut
Grove, they left the Marshall car
there and took the Kossel car on
to Revere.
Returning to Walnut Grove,
two of the Marshall boys got into
the Halvorson car and went
ahead with the Walnut Grove car
following. This was done in order
that the Kossel car could push
the Marshall car when they ran
out of gas.
East of the Garvin corner the
rear car, in attempting to pass the
Halvorson car, forced the latter
into the ditch where it overturn-
ed. None of the occupants were
injured, but the car was damaged.
All five then piled into the
Walnut Grove car and drove it
to Marshall and parked. 1t was
used Sunday afternoon and Tues
day and then was abandoned at
the Marshall fairgrounds, where
it was later discovered.
The five furnished the names of
Is others who were given rides
in the various cars, but none of
these was held at fault by the
officials.
