THIEE VANISHES AS AUTD OVERTURNS Crawls Out Uninjured and Makes Successful Getaway No trace of the driver of a stolen automobile which crashed into a truck of the New Britain Bird & Beed Co., and then overturned at the corner of West Main street and Grove Hill shortly after 5 o'clock last evening, had been secured by the police up to this afternoon. Henry H. Luce of R. F. D. No. 1, driver of the truck, had turned the corner when the stolen car coming from the direction of Plainville, ‘whipped around the corner just be- hind him and its front wheels struck the left rear wheel of the truck. A drizeling rain was falling and the pavement was very slippery. The car, a five-passenger touring vehicle, turned over and crashed down on its right side. Luce stopped his truck and ran back to the auto- | mobile, thinking to find the driver injured. Ashe came to the machine, the driver crawled out stating that he was not injured. He asked Luce to walt for him as he would be right back and he walked west on West Main street and disappeared. Motorcycle Policeman Clarence Kumm, doing duty on West Main | street, came upon the scene and stopped to investigate, He was shortly joined by Motorcycle Police- man William 8. Strolls and other officers from headquarters. Hearing Luce's story, the police- men waited more than 15.minutes for the return of the driver. Then, with the assistance of persons stand- ing about in the crowd, the automo- bile was righted and was driven to headquarters. While efforts were being made to ascertain the ownership of the car the office of the Btate Mo- Vehicle Commissioner, Morris Brooks of 296 Chapman street en- tered headquarters to report that his automobile had been stolen from Church street while he was at work in the Stanley Rule and Level Co. plant. His description of the car tallied with that of the vehicle which the police had and he identified it as belonging to him. He did not know what time it had been stolen. The automobile was badly dam- aged on the right side when it crashed over after hitting the truck. The top was crumpled, the fenders were smashed as was the running board and the windshield was brok- en.
