His trucks have "hardly ever" broken down, a fact he attributes to "keeping them in good shape before I start out." The motorized grocery also gets a fresh paint job every year or two, he explains. Along with his motor route, Rund still manages his little grocery store in Stones Crossing daily from 9 a.m.

to 9 p.m. with the help of his niece Garnett Harbert. "Quite a few customers come in," he notes and business really picks up in the spring and summer since Rund is well-known for his fresh-vegetable plants and seeds. "It's; just a little business." the seasoned grocer remarks. "You know, there are hardly any little businesses anymore," he muses.

Along with the usual food staples, Rund carries many drugstore type items. Sometimes customers call in to ask him to bring a particular item, he notes, but usually his truck is well-stocked, so customers find most things they want already on the truck. Items rarely break, he notes, since he puts the heavy things-at the bottom and lighter items at the top of the six-foot shelves. Wood partitions hold the items on the shelves. Rough roads Rough rural roads don't bother either him or his wares, he notes, recalling days when roads were much rougher.

Sometimes the truck would get stuck on the dirt roads of the past, he remembers, recounting one such incident when his huckster truck sank two feet into mud during his route. It took a horse-drawn winch to free the stranded truck, he recalls. The rough roads were also often responsible for broken axles, Rund remembers, Street, Franklin. 5 p.m. Franklin city parking lot: (parked) Cindv Wolfarth.

Venue (Continued from front page) By SALLY KING Journal Staff Writer An Indianapolis property owner's use of a unique property marking system has resulted in the apprehension of seven alleged thieves, cleared up several other Marion county burglaries and broken up at least three burglary rings in Marion and Johnson counties.

It is a story with an almost unbelievable chain of events, which began with a pair of break-ins at an Indianapolis apartment and ended with discovery of a "fencing operation" in Greenwood. According to the account by Marion county Det. Sgt. Ed Elder, the original break-ins occurred sometime last fall. Twice, thieves broke in to a Marion county apartment taking a stereo, television and clock radio.

For a week, Marion county. Dep. Sgt Ralph Kerlman staked out a neighboring apartment where it was believed the suspected thieves lived. It was during the stakeout that, in an ironic twist, three other alleged thieves broke into the suspect's apartment and were caught removing some of the previously stolen property. Property taken The trio was arrested and the property was taken to the sheriff's department.

The original victim was called in to identify the property when use of a black light revealed that the items were marked in infra-red ink with her Social Security number. Elder said the original suspects were then brought in and they' subsequently identified the property as theirs. "At that time, we used the black light to show the people the Social Security number," Elder said. They two admitted the original theft and were charged with the two burglaries at the woman's southside Indianapolis apartment. Further questioning of the original suspects led police to Johnson county, where a search warrant was obtained for a Greenwood home where they said some of the stolen articles were located.

In the ensuing search, officers discovered a television in the front room of the house matching the despription of the one stolen from the Indianapolis woman's apartment. Again, the black light was focused on the item and it revealed the infrared marking with the Indianapolis woman's social security number. Charges were filed against the couple and their cases are now pending, according to Greenwood detective Sgt. Allen Clark. Clark further noted that the Greenwood couple has been implicated and arrested in connection with other crimes in Johnson county.

Items recovered Police, accompanied by the two arrested subjects and with the aid of a garage truck, recovered a number of other items from residential burglaries and some other burglaries admitted to by the original Marion county suspects. Clark said the haul included about 15 bicycles, a riding lawn mower, rototiller and two television sets from various robberies. The Greenwood detective called the marking system "the handle which enabled police to put the press on these individuals to clear up other cases." During the chain-reaction investigation of the original crime, a MarioH county police helicopter was used to comb wooded areas in Johnson county where it was reported that some stolen items were being kept. The search turned up no items. Clark and Elder praised the Crime fRAPOperation Identification program which the original victim used in marking her property.

'It's beautiful' "It's beautiful," quipped Elder, "a great help to police and victims." Without it, Clark noted, the original suspected burglars would've wound up getting the property back since "possession is nine-tenths of the law." Clark noted that while property owners have always been urged to copy down serial numbers of their items, "a lot of people don't do Also, he said, many times thieves remove the number from the stolen article. Clark said the infrared marking is invisible under formal lighting and cannot be seen even with a flashlight. iaitar K. lanp Hi Ham Sltktr US CtmmrcM Stafcar SSS S15.00 discount, for lump home stoker coal picked up at yard by appointment only.

Batesvllle, Indiana Sedwick ruled that the affidavits would be admitted "for whatever they are worth." The special judge questioned Combs as to whether he wished to have his client sworn in to testify, Following a short consultation with Webb, the public defender stated that Webb would not testify. Webb was escorted to the courtroom Friday by a pair of federal marshals from his prison cell at the Marion County jail, the closest federal institution. He will be kept at the Marion county jail throughout the trial. In an earlier change of venue hearing, Webb's case had been switched to Ripley county, but that case was dropped. A subsequent motion for a change of venue was denied by Johnson county judge Robert Young.

affidavits signed by 57 Johnson county residents which stated that they had read or heard reports regarding the homicide and resulting criminal charges against Webb and that from the reports had "formed an opinion that would prevent (them) from becoming an impartial juror" in the case. Gantz objected to the admission of the affidavits as evidence feeling that they were "incompetent, immaterial and irrelevant to the issues." He pointed out that the court cannot ascertain through the affidavits the age of those singing them. "They may be children for all we know," he contended. Additionally, Gantz objected, the affidavits did not reveal whether those responding would be prejudiced for or against the defendant.

The entire kit is available from Independent and Farm Bureau insurance agents for one dollar. York said a common problem in making positive identification of stolen property is that serial numbers and other identifying marks are often removed by thieves, the "invisible ink" is impossible to eradicate, York said, adding that alterations in the numbers can be detected by trained observers. The identification program could also reduce the amount of stolen property fenced at business establishments and from the trunk of a car, York said. "1 think it has all kinds of possibilities," he commented. With 100 per cent cooperation from county homeowners, he predicted, "you could reduce house burglaries in this area by 50 per cent."

State Trooper Ken York, who will head the program in Johnson county, said a film and a discussion of the "Crime TRAPOperation Identification" program will be presented at the Chamber of Commerce meeting.

Essentially, it involves the purchase by homeowners of an inexpensive kit for marking their valuables with "invisible ink" that becomes visible under an ultra-violet light.
