Missing Produce
Leads To Man and
Boys In Mobile

A man and two teen-age boys
taken into custody by officers in
Mobile Friday night were being
held for Moss Point authorities
this week in what was believed
to be the first break in the mys-
terry of the missing vegetables.
Mayor F. w. Cirlot said he was
told there have been complaints
of produce being stolen from in
front of stores from Gulfport to
Mobile and one produce truck
driver said he had replaced $35
worth of fresh foodstuffs during
the past few weeks for custom
ers who failed to find the mer-
chandise he leaves in front of
their stores on his late night or
early morning routes.
The man. who is Clarence Hol-
sen of Mobile, and the IA and Is
year-old boys refused to waive
extradition and a request to au-
~ btitiSiiS tiit IhiCC Out VI
Alabama to Moss Point to face
charges has been filed with the
governor. Mayor Cirlot said.
According to Mayor Cirlot, Mo
bile officers stopped the car in
which the man and boys were
riding for some other reason but
became suspicious when they saw
the produce and got the informa-
ton that it had come from Moss
Point from a little boy who was
riding with them. He said he had
been put out of the car by the
Moss Point school and told to
wait and when the car returned
for him the produce was in the
vehicle.
1t was believed taken from in
front of Campbell-Mc Mccain Gro
Gerry where a delivery ticket de-
scriblng the produce found in the
car was discovered but only a
wet spot on the pavement gave
any sign that the delivery had
been made, Mayor Cirlot said.
