Auto stolen by mistake
It was good news to Lewis Willis, Throop merchant Tuesday afternoon when he was tipped off by traveling salesman who visited his store with information that he might find his car in Camillus and the information proved true.
It seams that Mrs. Michael O'Hara, wife of Camillus garage proprietor, and her daughter, came to Auburn Saturday evening in their Ford coupe and parked it alongside of Ford coupe of same design as that of Mr. Willis in Genesee Street.
On returning, they got into the wrong coupe and drove home. It developed that the Willis coupe had some little peculiarities that caused the Camillus garage man to wonder what was the matter and the conversation was had in the presence of the knight of the grip who related the story to Mr. Willis when he heard that he had lost his machine.
Willis went to Camillus and obtained his machine last night while O'Hara came to Auburn and found his coupe parked in Genesee Street where it had reposed since Saturday night in the one spot. Sheriff Frank Hendrick assisted materially in the general adjustment. |
