State's “Best Horse Thief” Has Retired
Lancaster Pa November 13 Joe Buzzard who calls himself the best horse thief in the country has returned to his old stamping ground but not to steal. At 83 years old and in ill health he is retired to the Lancaster county home. Buzzard, once a leader of the Buzzard brothers gang operating in Lancaster Berks and Chester counties, was released from Eastern penitentiary in September after a three year sentence for stealing a horse and buggy. He had gone to Wilmington Del claiming reform and to start a legitimate business but illness prevented work. Buzzard has spent 37 years in prison and long regaled wardens with tales of his exploits. Now he says his horse stealing career is finished.
