University of Virginia Library

Calls Registrar

As Mr. Williams called the
Registrar's Office to verify the
identification, Mr. "DuPont"
left the bookstore, leaving one
of the books behind.

"We almost caught him,"
Mr. Williams said, "but we had
no grounds on which to hold
him."

The call to the Registrar
verified that there has never
been a Jean Paul DuPont
registered at the University.
Furthermore, the man said he
was a member of a fraternity
which is non-existent on the
Grounds.

The thief was described as
being about six-foot-one,
weighing from 175 to 190
pounds, with shoulder-length
sandy hair and a five-days
growth of a beard. He was
wearing a blue-jean jacket
when he was seen at the
bookstore.
