Automobile claimants converge on Waterloo car case
A Pioneer Motor Company representative from Chicago arrived in Waterloo at noon to claim a Hudson car held by police after being driven into the city without license plates or ID. Henry Godbasen also asserts ownership, showing a bill of sale dated January 29. A third claimant is expected from Chicago’s Auto Protective & Information Bureau, which asks the car be held until investigations finish. The car reportedly belonged to Lewis Levenson of Saginaw, Michigan, per motor numbers. Police opened inquiries after the car was taken to a local garage without proper identification. Pioneer confirms Godbasen’s purchase, but notes a $590 mortgage exists. Detectives pursue the theory the car was stolen before reaching Chicago dealers. THODE FUNERAL: William Thode’s funeral set for 1:30 p.m. Thursday at Fredsville Church with Rev. J. Stockholm officiating.
