Norwalk needs a Sherlock Holmes

foot wall into the rear yard of Frank
I). Austin, Van Buren avenue. The
machine in dashing over this last
embankment landed on its top. bounc-
upright again on its four wheels.
Examination of the automobile af-
ter the accident disclosed that the
ignition system was locked and the
emergency brake on. That the
brake was on could be seen from
the tracks in the road where the ma-
shine crossed Brush street.
In landing into Austin‘s yard, the
automobile dug a. deep hole in the
ground. Had the brakes been off.
it would have smashed into the
Austin home.
The body and the top of the auto.

and steering wheel were not broken.
The car later was taken away under
