MACOMB LEASES
According to Van Fleteren
the $685. deal on which the
warrants against the Browns
are based involved oil and gas
leases, location unspecified. He
said that the Browns, believed
to be brothers, transacted their
negotiations with the Hines on
stationery bearing the imprint Of
the Devonia Testing and Leas-
ing company, with its address
listed as 1918 Seminole street,
Detroit. He said the letterheads
bore impressive listings of sup
posed oil and gas leases through
out Macomb, Oakland, Lapeer
and Allegan counties. Included
in the list of Macomb properties
were ones in the townships of
Clinton, Ray, Macomb, Sterling,
Shelby, Washington and Bruce.
PROVE EVASIVE
The younger Hine, Van Flet-
eren said, related that he, had
several times seen the Browns at
his fathers home throughout the
past few years but that, upon his
own arrival, all talk of business
had been avoided.
The son, likewise, told Van
Fleteren that his father had dis
posed of his livestock and farm
equipment prior to his death and
that, somewhat mysteriously, his
once substantial bank accounts
had been dissipated; presum-
ably on Investment.

the warrants are founded set

4BurgIaries
Police Hold Five
Boys, Ages 1912

Five juveniles, ranging in age
from 10 to IL, are today in the
custody of the Probate Court
after a wave of burglaries in
which they broke into four
Mount Clemens establishments
and stole IS bicycles.
The arrests were made after a
sweeping investigation by Police
Chief Arthur !. Rosso following
the burglary of the Hawaiian
Conservatory of Music at 81
North Walnut during the week
end.
Chief Rosso stated that the
boys, all of Mount Clemens,
must have had a craving for
music because they stole five
guitars, several tuning reeds and
other musical equipment.
The case was broken when
the father of one of the boys
found the guitars in an old gar
age and on questioning his son
discovered they were stolen.
On being taken to police head
quarters the boy confessed the
theft and gave the names of his
accomplices who also admitted
the thieVery.
Chief Rosso said that the petty
thefts have been a problem to
the local department for several
The youths admitted the theft
of Is bicycles and the police
chief said that many of them had
been dismantled, some of the
parts sold while others were
thrown in the river.

broke into on September %,

included the lack of a certified

SUBDIVISION CONSIDERED
Walden left and said these
matters would be attended to. 1t
is understood the plat for a
subdivision is still under con-
sideration by the Negro group,
although Walden was verbally
agreed to sell the property.
Peterson revealed Wednesday
that the planned Supreme Court
appeal against defeat of the
Blossom Heath club proposal in
the Circuit Court, has not been
filed and the deadline for filing
is past. Attorney Ernest Good
man, who had given notice OF
appeal, has not even sought a
transcript of testimony before
Judge Paul X. Cash, who rem
dered the decision on June 7
that a club license in that area
would be in the violation of the
village zoning ordinance. A
transcript of testimony is the
first requirement for Supreme
Court appeal.
"a community-owned center
would not violate the ordi-
nance.)
Walden's proposal was placed
before the Village Commission
this week by Peterson, but that
body, although highly interest
ed, found itself poWerless to
take action because such an ap-
preparation cannot be made from
the general fund. A vote of the
people would be required.
CLAIM MONEY AVAILABLE
One official said that If the
Chamber of Commerce did not
succeed in raising the necessary
$45, 000-plus, a vote of the peo-
pie might be resorted to for the
balance. However, many prom
inent Shorians commented that
such a fund could be raised
without any difficulty"
Testimony in court during the
Blossom Heath case revealed
that Walden and his associates
paid $40, 900 for the club prop
erty, including several thousand
dollars for equipment-part Of
which was a massive steel tur-
ret for armed guards used in the
clubs gambling hey-dey.
Walden told Peterson he had
no desire to make a dollars pro-
fit In the transaction, and sought
only the return of money in
vested. This would include some
improvements; tax payments;
legal expenses and other items,
amounting to more than $4,000.

PhOny Yarn

Il
age and describes himself - On
employee Of The Detroit Times.
His present unenviable posi-
ton stems from an afternoon OF
hilarity at a st. Clair Shores
tavern, coupled with ride with
a comely Mexican girl (whose
husband is in the army and .
wholly mythical strong arm"
robbery that ended with his car
being "dunked" in the pit.
Undersheriff Thomas H. Kali
tenbach said today that when
Laurence on Tuesday night CALL
ed the sheriff's office and report
ed that two soldiers strong
armed me of about 500" he
thought the yarn sounde d
'fishy" for, he said, Laurence
had an even 500 in his pocket
at the time.
COOK UP YARN
Upon Interrogation at head
quarters Laurence told of hav-
ing met Mrs. Emily Hernandez
at a tavern known as The WISH
ing Well and of their having
started north on Gratiot avenue
in his car. He said that at the
14-Mile road he picked up two
men in uniform and proceeded
to Mount Clemens where, he
said, Mrs. Hernandez got out
and went to a show" Then, ac-
companied by the two SOL
diers", Laurence said, he drove
south on Gratiot avenue to a
point near Quinn road where he
was strong armed" by the two
men and robbed of slightly less
than S100. He spoke jubilantly
of having fooled the thieves,
however, as he displayed an
other roll of bills which, he
said, had been hidden in q
pocket undisturbed by his as
sailants. The two men then, he
declared, pushed his car into
the deep waters of a nearby
gravel pit and left him stranded
afoot.
On w d n day afternoon
Sheriff Ensign picked up Mrs.
for questioning and
she told a story similar to that
of Laurence.
Later in the day, however,
after deputies had recovered the
distributors car from
the pit, Mrs. Hernandez was
brought in again for question
ing and confessed that the story
was a hoax insofar as any SOL
diers or others than herself and
Laurence having been mixed up
in the case.
Actually, Mrs. Hernandez
said, she had met Laurence at
the tavern in question and had
accompanied him to the vicin-
ity of the Quinn road pit. There.
she said, he asked If II loved
him.. She said her answer was
that she preferred someone else.
She pointed out that the car
had become "stuck" in rough
ground near the edge of the pit,
and that when Laurence got out
to shove, the machine suddenly
plunged forward into the 20
feet deep water. She told, with
great clarity, of having been
penned up in the front seat of
the car at the bottom Of the pit
and Of how she finally managed
to spring open a back door and
make her way to the surface al
though she declared, II cannot
swim" She said that Laurence,
when she looked around, was
standing knee deep in water and
that he reached out and pulled
her ashore.
ADMITS FAKE REPORT
Later, she said, she and the
car-less Detroiter had cooked
up the yarn about the holdup
and the imaginary Soldiers" in
order to provide some reason
able explanation for the disap-
pearance of Laurence's car and
of $50 in change hidden beneath
a back seat of the machine.

has been amply demonstrated in the past
two months Able once more to tap hard

taken off on 79-yard run to reassert itself
as America S top fall sport.
Brightest stars of the season, however,

when he is graduated in June, he will join the
memorable Hamilton, Borries and Bergner
as winner of nine ma jor letters.
Making three major Navy teams has
always been nice trick. Getting permission
to try it in the past three years has been even
trickier. For in 1912 the Navy compressed
its already stiff doses of math and science
into three-year capsule that few men could
swallow and still find time for outside
activities.
But Duden was different 1--WE let Dick
