Merritt’s connection with the theft of the Millard automobile at Wolcott a couple of months ago. He was released from the county jail on bond two weeks ago. A report has been current that his brother, Zinn Merritt, who is wanted in connection with the theft of the Millard car and also for stealing a car at Frankfort, has been caught at Louisville. Another report has it that he was caught at St. Louis. This morning Ohas. Merritt said that if his brother has been captured he did not know anything about it.
