NOBLE COUNTY OFFICERS LINGER EIGHT HOURS BY SIDE OF FORD - COUPE Suspicious Machine Finally Trundled to Albion to Wait Further Important Developments - il : Noble county officers were extremely cautious. This is illustrated by the following episode so well describeq below by the Columbia City Post. “Sheriff John Singleton of Noble county assisted by two other officers waited fruitlessly from ten o’clock Saturday night until six o’clock Sunday morning near a Ford <Coupq whose owner he suspected of bootlegging and failed to get his man because the latter had seen the sheriff’s car and made his get-away. “The car was owned by Clarence Barnum of Kendallville. The sheriff had reason to suspect that, Barnum was vending liquor and swore out a search warrant describing ;fhe car and was planning to search the machine. “A carnival was being held near Kendallville and Barnum drove up in his coupe and parked. As soon as he parked Sheriff Singleton spotted the Ford. He and his deputies decided to wait until the owner camg to read the search warrant to him. “After several hours of yaiting for an owner who did not appear thd sheriff looked in the machine and saw two quarts of liquor in it. The windshield of the coupe was open, 80 the sheriff was able to reach in* side and open the door and he drove Barnum’s machine to Albion. “According to Prosecutor C. A. Lincoln Barnum has retgined Attorney Clarence Finley of Kendallville and the latter has approached Prosecutor Linceln to see under what terms his client could submit to arrest. In the meantime the car is being held. It can be confiscated under the law, but Prosecutor fincoln says that Barnum appears to want the maching back. It is a practically new coupe.”
