formation provided early Monday
by a 16 year old boy led to Mrs.
Wilson's arrest. She was charged
in a warrant with failure to stop
after an accident. She waived
preliminary hearing before Traf-
fic Judge John S. Barry and was
bound over to the municipal
court for trial.
The boy, according to police,
was witness to the accident and,
had obtained the license number
of the hit and run car. He did,
not disclose this information at,
once, police said, because he was
driving his fathers car automo-,
bile without consent and feared
punishment.
FATHER NOTIFIES POLICE
After reading of Venz's death,
the boy became conscience
stricken. He told his father of
the incident at 1890 a. m. Mon
day. The father notified police.
Other witnesses had informed
police that the car which hit
Venz was a gray Pontiac coach,
driven by a Negro woman. Act
ing on the license number furn-
ished by the boy, Detectives Ken
meth MARBLE and Carl Dittman
found a license of that number
issued to Jerome Wilson.
They went to the home early
Monday and, after finding a gray
1947 Pontiac coach in a nearby
lot, arrested the wife of the re-
gistrant.
Mrs. Wilson denied that she
had struck Venz but admitted,
| after long questioning that she
had been driving on w. North
av. about the time of the acct
dent.
Police said there was a fresh
dent in the right front fender of
the car.
