Two teen age youths and one
teen age white girl, names withheld

a chase at high speed by local
police officers from Reynolds to Ft.
Valley. The chase was unusually
hazardous due to the downpour of
rain.

tag number of the 1951 4-door
I Chevrolet by Mrs. Bessie Nelson
after the youths ordered a tank of
gasoline at her service station in
this city and drove off without

added:
“That court has rendered de
