Thus did Chief Bunde grimly face his unpleasant task. "From evidence I now have," continued the Chief, "the truck had been robbed several times before but the quantities were so small that the candy man never reported the loss to the police. Last night the theft was the heaviest and could not be overlooked." Hanson was night man at the garage and had easy access to all the cars without fear of Interruption.
