Going to Waco Tue (missing) to meet his
brother-in-law, Fred
Follstaedt, accompanied by Mrs. Follstaedt, en route to Marlin from Abilene.
Rev. G. J. Beyer, pastor of Grace Lutheran church of this city, reported the
handle was twisted off of his locked automobile and three suit cases and
contents belonging to his guests stolen.
Rev. Beyer had met Mr. and Mrs. Follstaedt
at the bus station, and after placing the suit cases in the car, parked near the
intersection of 8th and Washington streets, went downtown awhile.
Returning, they discovered the robbery.
Despite the fact that the car was parked
near a rather busy intersection, it was broken into in broad open daylight
between the hours of 4:30 and 6 p.m. No trace of the marauders was
reported.
Mr. and Mrs. Follstaedt, sans luggage, came
on to Marlin and are guests in the Beyer home.
