A group of citizens stopped

A group of citizens stopped a
thief who admitted stealing $430
in Alexandria today, but before
he was turned over to police
some one in the crowd took the
money away from him, police re-
ported.
Horace C. Turner. %. of

andria, who lost the money.
Alexandria police said this is
what happened:
Mr.. Florence left $43O in the
glove compartment of his truck
in the 200 block of North Henry

restaurant. When he came out,
Mr.. Florence said he saw Turner
taking the money.

Turner. He pursued him several
blocks. About a dozen specta-
tors joined the chase. Turner
hailed a taxicab but the crowd
jumped on the cab and stopped
it.
When police arrived about
two minutes later, Turner was
surrounded. Police took him in
custody but found none of the
money on him. Police said
some one in the crowd apparent
ly took the money from Turner's
pocket.

to 80 days on another charge of
lettering. Police Pvt. Donald

hanging around the Henry street

chewing gum level.
The visitors are on a five
week tour of the country as
guests of their American COL
leagues-who were in Denmark
last year on a similar project.
One of them. Aage Flatau, Al,
admitted that before, when we
thought of an American, it was
only of soft drinks and chewing
gum"
Mr.. Flatau, of Aarhus. de-
clared that the group was now
convinced that many American
idiosyncrises are a result of
conditions.
Just Like at Home.
"The chewing gum-I believe
it is because an American al
ways wants to be active" an
other added. The soft drinks,
Harald Svendsen, 46, of Copen-
hagen declared, could be put
down to the weather.
After visiting the House and
Senate, Mr.. Svendsen said they
