Because Supt. Garfunkels men have
evidence enough to convict the men
who robbed Foye q Eckstein 1t may
be that they will be brought to Sa-
vannah for trial. The officers have
woman who saw the men enter the
store, as well as being able to prove
that those who did the work pur-
chased the dynamite from Weeds
place It is not believed that the evil
dence against the robbers is as strong
in Jacksonville. but the Florida Off
GERS may insist upon putting the men
on trial first.
When Supt. Garfunkel learned of the
arrest of the suspects he wired to the
chief of police at Mobile asking that
a full description of both men be wired
him Immediately and that the prison
ers be held at any cost. No answer
had been received up to an early hour
this morning.

one of the safe blowers used that name
