Stamford police are pushing
their investigation of a bur-
glary of the Stamford Clinic
shortly after midnight Thurs-
day morning but thus far have
come up with no concute leads,
according to Sgt. Louis John-
son.
Local officers have been as-
sisted by Jones County Sheriff
Woodrow Simmons and Ranger
Sid Merchant.
The breakin was discovered
by officers Jesse Gonzales and
James Wiley. A car belonging
to Dr. George.Pryor.had been
pushed out of its parking place.
Closer investigation showed
damage to the east door where
entry was gained.
Offices of two doctors were
nroken into but narcotics in
the office of Dr. Tom Bunk-
ley were not taken. But from

take much of the narcotics
but they also took the book in
which a record of the nar-
cotics is kept. ’’’
Sergeant Johnson said no
needles or syringes appeared
to tie gone. Some of the “hard”
narcotics also were left.
From the clinic business of-
fice, the safe was taken. It
was rolled across, the floor and
out the back door Police rea-
son that because of the safe’s
size, the vehicle used in the
burglary was a pickup. Tracks
indicate that this car was first
parked near the hospital. Num-
erous footprints lead across the
maize field from this point to
the clinic.
In addition to many of the
clinic business records, the
safe also contained about $3,000
in checks and $400 in money.
