STAFFORD BURGLARS ARE
CAUGHT AT G.. CHARLES

The crime careers of James Bryan
and Harold Brinsfield, Of Seaford,
ended abruptly when they were caught
at Cape Charles, Va, with a stolen
car in their possession. The car was
stolen from Calhoun Elliott, of Lau-
rel, several days previously.
Elliott who had no insurance on
his car, had spent several days driv-
ing about the country trying to pick
up clue as the whereabouts of the
vehicle. On Saturday he stopped at a
service station near Pocomoke City
and was told that a car answering
the description of his had passed that
way headed south. Elliott who was
accompanied by his brother-in-law,
Edward Scott, also of Laurel, decided
to chance a trip to Cape Charles, and
as they were driving through the town
they spotted the stolen car in front
of home. They jumped out of their
car and knocked at the door of the
home to make inquiries. The home
happened to be a boarding house,
and the two men were advised that
the drivers of the car were staying
there and were preparing to leave for
Florida in fifteen minutes.
Cape Charles police were summon
ed, and the pair arrested, but not be-
fore they had attempted to flee by
jumping out of an upstairs window.
Delaware police brought the two
boys to this State later, and lodged
them in the county Jail at George
town. Brinsfield is FL, and Bryan is
about 18. Both have had frequent
brushes with local law agencies prior
to this exploit.

Another outstanding project which
