Tuesday afternoon in response to a
phone call, Sheriff Brady went to
Seagrove to take charge of a Lincoln
touring car which had been wrecked
just south of the depot. The car had
been running at so rapid a rate of
speed that it couhfti’t make the curve
in the highway at the depot. Barely
missing the corner of the depot, the
car struck an embankment to the
right of the road on the south side
and crashed. liquor from nine five
gallon tin containers began to pour
down file ditch, while the men in the
car made a hasty departure.
When the sheriff arrived on the
scene, about an hour later, two of the
containers were found intact and these
and the ear were confiscated. It was
while the sheriff was towing the
wrecked car back to Asheboro that the
two men suspected of being in the car
came out of the woods and asked for
a ride to Asheboro. Hie car bore a
Maryland license number.
