Auto Wreck and Burglary Tangle in Pomeroy
An auto driven by Jean Fisher of Pomeroy wrecked near Cheshire Saturday night injuring Roy Terrell who rode with her. Geraid Collins is accused of attempting to break a lock on H. P. Mayer’s property and was arrested. Mayer pursued in night clothes firing at fleeing figures. Police later captured two suspects at Gravel Station. A separate crash damaged the Goessler jewelry store sign, with Ray Grimm the fiddler and his wife taken to jail after liquor and other items were found in their car. The sign marked Lincoln assassination timing and stood for over six decades.
