Local officers have received information from Atlanta, Ga., that the Buick touring car stolen from H.F. Harrill, realty agent here, has been recovered in Atlanta. The letter from H.A. Holcomb, chief of police in the Georgia city, to Sheriff H.A. Logan, states that the find was made by officers S.A. Smith and A.I. Poole, and that the car identifies with that lost by Mr. Harrill in every particular, including the motor number.
As will be remembered, the car was taken between 5 and 6 o’clock in the afternoon of the first primary here, from where it was parked in front of the Central Methodist church. Mr. Harrill’s attention had been diverted in the meantime by a stranger who asked for directions concerning a southern road route. The owner of the stolen car now finds himself with two cars on his hands, since he bought another car of the same type Saturday. He left Tuesday for Atlanta to recover the car.
