bers Of the legislature, who was named
in two alleged confessions as the prin-
cipal in $350,000 station mail rob-
berry here on last April, was held in
Jail in default of 100000 bonds.
Vincenzo Cosmano, Murphy's lieu
tenant, also was being held, his bonds
having been fixed at $4,000, which he
was unable to furnish.
Others being held by the police were
Edward Geirum, Murphy's chaffeur;
Peter and Frank Gusenburg, both un-
der indictment for the robbery; George
w. Hecker, mail clerk; Ralph Teter,
former government clerk, and Paul b.
lanti, a grocer.
At least II other arrests were expect
ed soon, according to A. E. Germer,
chief postal inspector, who said the
men now sought lived in different
states. Although he asserted several
confessions had been obtained, he re-
fused to tell who, excepting Geirum,
had made admissions.
Besides. the number Of arrests dur
ing the day the postal inspectors re-
covered $4,000 from the home of
Murphy's father-in-law and $1,000 from
the Bolanti grocery.
According to postal inspectors the
robbers played baseball near the rail-
way station until the signal for the
holdup.
Murphy, it was said, took no part in
the actual robbery, but watched his
companions rush across the street,
hold up the mail employees and then
flee in an automobile with the sack.
Murphy was said to have paid Teter
500 before the robbery and $500 after
wards. Murphy and Cosmano, it is as
serted, received the biggest part of the
loot, the rest being split up, $4,000 in
bonds and $1,000 in cash going to each
man.
