Car Load of Whiskey Stolen In Rapid Escape From Staunton
A Cadillac with $2000 worth of bootleg whiskey fled Staunton bound for Hagerstown at 50 to 60 mph. George Robinson alias Tobe Robinson, an ebony man, was pursued by Officer Clark who fired twice but missed. A white man, Berger, rode with them but escaped. Robinson was later captured by West Virginia officers near the Martinsburg turnpike and brought to Winchester. The case led to speeding and resisting arrest charges, with a $58.25 total fine. Police set an armed cordon on the Valley turnpike as dawn broke. Continued on page 4.
