Would Not Talk
The three men were brought
to New Ulm Saturday evening
and lodged in the county jail to
await their preliminary hearing.
They would not admit any in
formation that would incrimin-
ate them in any manner. They
denied all knowledge Of this
part of the country, stating that
they had never been here, and
even wanted to know where
Comfrey was located, when
asked if they were in that vii
lage recently. They denied pass,
ing through New Ulm in car
a week ago Saturday morning.
Each of the three were placed
in separate cells, so they can
not communicate with each
other. The women were not
brought to New Ulm, as there
is no evidence that connects
them with the robbery.
Members of Big Gang
St. Paul police are of the opin-
ion that the men taken, as wei!
as the women, are members of
a big gang, who are turning
"jobs" continually in this as well
as other portions of the country.

they "fell' for looting the store,
because another party, Abe

and told them how easy it would
be to "get away" with it. The
two had entered the store the
afternoon before the robbery,
and made some purchases, which
they left, stating they would re-
turn for them later in the day,
when they would settle. The
purchases, which they left, stat
ing the 3 went to the rear of the
store the night Of the robbery.
