Charles Brooks, listened SYM
pathetically as Lillian Tomczak
told him how her husband had
just come back from overseas
service and would have to spend
the rest of his furlough in the
county Jail, unless she was able
to get the money to pay for his
fine and costs. Sergt. Brooks
not only paid the fine and costs
of Leo Tomczak, but also paid
those of his wife, a total Of
S63.80.
That was the last that Serg-
cant Brooks saw of the Tom
czaks, and his receipt will prob
ably be of little help in getting
back his S63.80. According to
Chief Deputy Thomas Kalten-
bach, Leo Tomczak has a prev

Chance Acquaintance
Lifts Watch and Cash

"A man who made q round of
beer taverns with a chance &C
quaintance, today is poorer by
S45 in cash, and is minus a check
for S37.48 and gold wrist
watch because of that acquaint-
anceship. .
The man, George Carr, "a, of
224 Cass avenue, was at the
Eschenburg tavern on Broad
way, when he became acquaint-
ed with another man who was in
the tavern at the time. Carr and
his new companion left the
Eschenburg tavern in the auto
mobile of the unidentified man
and went to two other beer gar
dens, the victim relates. Later,
as the two men were travelling
along a road in Harrison town
ship, Carr's new friend stopped
the car and told him to get out,
at the same time relieved him of
his money, the check and the
watch.
Carr later found his way to
the Lakeview Inn on Jefferson
avenue in Harrison township,
and there told his troubles to a
patient listener.
Sheriff's office reports re-
vealed that Cars wrist watch
was of yellow gold case and had
the words Merry Christmas
