pected dealers In liquor. dope or gam

that two bandits entered the apart
ment killed and robbed PIERCE. and
then forced them to flee In the auto
mobile belonging to Peirce. Williams
says the gunner forced him to drive
them to Wheeling. The Philadelphia
and Wheeling police are not convinced
by the story, but are searching for the
holdup men, one of whom is named
Smith, according to Williams, who ad-
mitted he knew the gangsters.
The arrest of Williams and his wife
was made within two and half hours

tectives. The Wheeling authorities had
watched every road out of the city
from the moment they began to suspect
that the big car stored In a Wheeling
garage was that used by Peirces MUIR

stances that the couple were short of
funds. and might therefore have sought
to hide themselves in the city.

arrested was searched. In it the detec-
tives found a yellow suit case, contain
ing a brown sweater. which showed
stains that looked like blood. a black

A curious feature of the arrest, not
vet explained was the finding of $500
in old Confederate currency in the
prisoners possession. The money was
in bills of $50 and 500 denominations.
