Fraternal Store Burglary Foiled by Police Night Patrol
Franklin December 10 A burglary attempt at Woodburn Cone and Vo’s store was frustrated Thursday night by Patrolman James D. Rifinney. While the thief worked the alley a noise drew him to the rear. A retreating footstep alerted the officer. Evidence showed a tool had been used to pry shutters open from the inside, but the shutters were nearly ready to give way when the officer arrived. It remains unclear if one or more burglars were involved.
