Following ' an automobile accident oA the turnpike road last evening, the owner of the machine, Arthur Brown, ,of 1620 9th avenue, Brooklyn, N, Y., sold it in its wrecked condition to ! Bwanson Brothers of New Britain, municipal garbage collectors. Accord- | Ing to the story told by Brown and his | three companions they left Brooklyn | yesterday on an automobile trip l.nd4 things went along in fine shape until i they hit the Berlin turnpike when the machine skidded and was partly de- 3 molished as a result. In order to re-: wmove the machine the services of re- pair men were peeded and while the men were debating on the question two members of the firm of Swanson Brothers came along and offered to purchase the wrecked machine. An agreement was reached and the sale | C. ‘Beckett. ‘made. After another thought the Swansons wondered if they were buying from ’ the real owner and not wanting to purchase a machine that would get them “in wrong"” they decided to in- ' .vestigate. Brown agreed to the inves- tigation and the men went to the New Britain police headquarters, where they talked to captain Grace. Al- though there was some doubt in the captain’s mind in regard to Brown beipg the owner the question was yproved beyond a doubt and the Swan- son’s are now sole owners. . Brown showed his registration card to Captain Grace. and the Captain called the New York bureau of regis- tration by telephone and was told that , the wrecked machine was the same as ! that listed under the name of Arthur ‘Brown. Although Brown did not “have a telephone in his own home he said there was one next door and this _number was also called.
