Thieves Visit Wright Home

Clothing and Jewelry Missing When Family Returned

By removing a screen and crawling through a rear window, thieves entered the home of Fred Wright, corner of Broadway and Canal streets, last evening and stole clothing and jewelry valued at $75.

The housebreakers looted the home and escaped with a new overcoat and raincoat belonging to Mr. Wright, a pair of trousers to a new suit and a Masonic ring. A white gold watch belonging to his son Orville, and a ladies purse and pearl ring belonging to Mrs. Wright and a collection of old coins was also taken.

Mr. Wright, who is a rural mail carrier and his wife left their home at 7 o'clock and came to the business district to watch the Democratic parade. When they returned at 8:30 they discovered the robbery. The thieves had pulled all blinds in the house and the floors were littered with burnt matches indicating that the robbers had used the matches to see their way about.

Police were notified but a search about the house and premises failed to uncover any clews[sic] that will lead to the arrest and identity of the thieves. The raincoat was lined with brown material. It bore the name of Fred Wright, and police are seeking trace of the coat on that identification. All other windows in the home were securely fastened.

New Emergency Truck in Crash

Alexandria - Alexandria's new emergency truck, belonging to the fire department, was involved in a four-vehicle wreck on its way to answer a resuscitation call at the home of the Rev. Archie Kent, Innisdale, where an electric pump motor had filled the house with smoke. Driving the truck was Fire Chief Mace Hitchens. City police reported that the truck had both the red light and siren operating. The truck crossed Washington and Harrison St. intersection when a car driven by Frank Lambertson Jr., manager of the Town Theater, was in a collision with it.

The truck was going against a red light but had the right of way, police stated. After the collision with the Lambertson car the truck careened into an auto driven by Neal King, 11th Street Rd., which was stopped on the Washington street side of Harrison. After hitting the King car, the truck bounced across the street and hit a car owned by Almeda Clymer, RR 3. There were no injuries but there was an estimated damage to the King car of $450 and the emergency truck damage was estimated at between $750 and $1000. The truck was only recently put into service after being paid for by the donations from Alexandria industries, businesses, organizations and private citizens, and it was on its first run.
