A car stolen the 17th day of November from Thaddeus Rhodes of Log, N.C., in Halifax county, was recovered here yesterday by Deputy Sheriff J.H. Thomas. Willie Miller, in whose possession the car was found, was arrested near White Hall, miles from Goldsboro, and lodged in jail by Mr. Thomas to await the arrival of Halifax officers.
The Wayne deputy did what his associates termed good detective work in this case. Miller, who did not have the appearance of being able to own an automobile, wrecked the Ford. Deputy Thomas, hearing of the incident, began to make inquiries of the North Carolina department of state, which informed him that the license number on the car was originally issued to Thaddeus Rhodes of Halifax county. A letter to Mr. Rhodes confirmed the belief of Mr. Thomas that the car had been stolen and he took Miller into custody.
