Salisbury, Oct. 21 (AP)—Deacons and elders of the First Presbyterian Church left a meeting in the Sunday school rooms of the church last night to find someone engaged in taking gasoline from their tanks. The amount taken could not be learned by the “victims” as they had no way of telling how much they had to start with. Neither could the number of thieves be learned.
When the churchmen left the building after the meeting, they heard a car which looked like a Ford sedan start up. It left hurriedly, and when the elders reached their cars they found a large can containing about two gallons of gasoline and a rubber hose, which had evidently been abandoned by the robbers.
