MAYOR ARRESTED FOR BURGLARY
Ideal Citizen's Lapse. After 17 Years.
CAUGHT BURYING BOOTY
Belgrade.
Janjo Koratch. 65-year-old Mayor of Gornjoselski. in Yugo- slavia. was the Ideal Citizen.
For 17 years he held the post
of Major. He was also the chief district magistrate.
His honesty was 2 byword. His record of public service was one of which any man might be proud.
Koratch was a wealthy man, too. Before the war he lived in America, where he made a smáli fortune.
For many years the police of Gornjoselski had been baffled by
a series of burglaries which seem- ed to be the work of the same hand.
But they had no clue to the burglar's identity.
A few nights ago a police pat- rol was passing through a field when they came upon a party of men digging a trench.
With the voice of authority one of the men told them to go away, It was the Mayor.
And the police were on the point of obeying him when one; of them happened to look in the trench. He saw a number of large packing cases.
When the cases were opened
