Description
Sometime during the predawn hours of June 5, 1958, the premises of the Gourlay Lumber Company, a Seattle lumber and hardware establishment, were burglarized. Among the items stolen were a large safe, a new orange-colored, "Honko" power lawn mower, and certain power tools. At about 4:15 a. m., on the same morning, Officers Reed and Litzenberger, of the Seattle police department, while on a routine patrol, discovered signs of the burglary. They notified the owner, S. H. Gourlay. He came immediately to the scene and, after an examination of the premises, informed the officers as to what had been taken. At 6:30 a. m., Reed and Litzenberger were directed by police radio to proceed to a certain location a few blocks from the Gourlay premises. They were to investigate a report that a safe had been dumped along the roadway. They found a safe, discovered that it had been broken into, and learned from certain papers strewn about the area that it was the safe which had been stolen from Gourlay. Because of the size of the safe, the officers concluded that more than one person must have been involved in the burglary. Reed and Litzenberger returned to the precinct station at about 8:30 a. m. They were informed that a Mr. Fruetal had called in with a report that he had been awakened by loud noises coming from the premises next door to his home. He described the noises as sounding like "some one hammering on a safe." The officers were further told that Fruetal had also reported that Millard Tomlin (son of Fruetals next-door neighbor) had been mowing the lawn with a new, reddish-colored power mower.
