Officers Find Evidence That They Claim Is
Satisfactory T. EN-
THREE MORE ARE YET 10 BE PINCHED
ills Believed That Gang Made Hea dquarters
In Mankato and On the
North Side

Six men wro are suspected Of hav-
ing been implicated in the robbery
of the First National Bank Of
Cleveland, Mimi, September II,
1923, are now in custody in different
jails in the southern part of the
state. They were picked up by Of
ficers yesterday. This was the tie
phonic information received by
Sheriff Edward Ario today from
Charles D. Brown, manager OF the
protective department of the Minne-
sofa Bankers association. 1t is al
legged that three more Of the gang
are at large, and their whereabouts
known. Their arrest which VIII
clean up the gang which is suspect
ed of having robbed both the Cleve-
land Bank, and the Klossner bank
on October 18, is expected at any
time. -f .
Sheriff Ario in a statement to The
Free Press today said that evidence
has been obtained by officers which
shows to their satisfaction that the
six men in custody were implicated
in the Cleveland bank robbery. This
evidence has been in the hands OF
the officers for some time past, and
the only reason for taking time in
the matter was to wait until the
greater part of the gang were as
sembled and then nab them. . .
Safe Shattered At Cleveland.
After practically holding up the
entire village of CleYeland and
working about two hours on the
vault, the robbers shattered the safe
and interior of the building badly.
1t appears that the loot which was
mixed with the debris after the ex-
and dumped into sack and later
that night the divvy was made. Tell
tale pieces of iron and bolts, etc.,
together with money wrappers were
found among currency located in the
rooms of the gangsters, which the
detectives allege is conclusive evil
dence that they have the right men.
What points to the fact that the
bandits for a time at least made
Mankato and North Mankato their
headquarters, is evidenced by the
fact that car was stolen from
Christ Danielson some time previ-
GUS to the Cleveland bank robbery.
This car was abandoned at Cleve-
land and the thieves then stole an
old Ford machine from a widow
woman near Cleveland, and this was
found in North Mankato the morn
ing following the robbery of the
Cleveland bank.
1t is now known that John Han
rahan, who has several aliases, and
who waa arrested recently at Fort
Dodge, Iowa, on the charge of
shooting With intent to kill a police
officer in Huron, S. D., is the man
who stole a car belonging to Ed

been recovered and will be return
ed to him.
Recent Raid In st. Paul
In a, recent raid made by st. Paul
detectives together with Sheriff
Ario Of this city, and Sheriff Charles
Norman of st. Peter on a house in
the st. Paul residence district, the
wife Of Hanrahan was found in the
dwelling. According to the state
ment of Sheriff Ario this woman
Of dope She drc~0s ~ ''erl" TX that
when she and the men members of
the gang were being driven to the
house raided the night before, the
taxi driver tipped It off to them
that they were being "trailed". It
would appear from the rambling talk
of the woman, that the gangsters
entered the house to throw the de-
tectiyes on, and short time later
made their escape that same night.
That is the reason that the raid led
by Sheriff Charles Norman, Sheriff
Edward Ario and Charles D. Brown
Of the Bankers association did not
result in the capture Of some of the
men on November T. The officers
did, however. find the artillery OF
the bandits. This consisted of three
forty-fi five automatic Colt pistols,
one, forty five calibre Colt six
shooter revolver, two sawed OFF
shot guns, one high powered rife.
two boxes of buckshot shells and
all kinds of pistol ammunition. The
two sawed on shot guns were con-
cealed in musical instrument case
Watch On Range Street
On the morning Of the Klossner
hank robbery as soon as Sheriff
Ario was informed bv Sheriff Char
les Norman of st. Peter That the
bank had been robbed he immedi-
atelvt drove over to North Nankato
10 the vicinity of a house which had
been shadowed on P-ree straet for
some time before that by Pinker-
ton detectives. and bankers asso-
citation men. He saw a large car
come down the BELGRADE hill and
stop in 'front.' of the house on Range
street. Lights soon shown from the
windows Leaving his car some dis.
tance away, Sheriff Ario walked up
as close to the house as possible.
and could hear several men talking
inside The lights soon were ex-
tinguiahad, and the sunpasition was

Blue Earth county fail and at once
called up Sheriff Norman Informing
him OF hIs suspicions Later that
day sheriff's posses searched the
Range. street residence. b'rt found
no discriminating evidence It is now
pretty well known that during the
interval that Sheriff Ario had re-
turned to Mankato that a second
car. a large one. drove up tn the
Range street residence and picked
up at least two women and some
men and then drove toward the
twin cities. It Is absolutely known
at the present time that at least
two of the men Implicated in the
Cleveland bank robbery were at
one time residents of both this city
and North Nankato.
Further deyelopments are ex-
pected to follow soon on the heels
of the arrest of six out Of the nine
| gangsters yesterday.

HELD TO DISTRICT COURT
Alleged HoId-up Was Given Hi
Hearinn At Winona

Winona, December 15.-Informa-
ton gained from various sources,
led Sheriff Peterson, accompanied
by Oscar Christopherson, Hjelmer
Johnson and Mr.. Knudson in the
George Sheets car, to make a hur-
ried drive over to Blue Earth We'd
nesday where the party got man
who goes by the name of Nose
Sailers, whom he had had the sher-
iff there hold for him.
The man was arrested on COM
plant signed by Mr.. Christopher
son charging robbery with the aid
another. The men believe that this
is one of the men who held up the
party on the East Side a week ago
Saturday night.
Mr.. Peterson says that Sailers
appeared to have several friends
and acQuaintances at Blue Earth
who were going to go his bail, and
said they would follow along and
furnish bail when they got here.
But Mr.. Peterson thought this was
pretty serious charge, and that the
matter would have to be referred
to Judge Nelson before bail could
be arranged. .N~
Several friends and acquaintan-
ces, apparently with financial back
ing appeared in town Thursday
forenoon and an examination was
conducted before Justice Solem's
court house, which was filled with
interested spectators, Messrs. Borst
and Finn appeared for Sailers and
County Attorney Finstad appeared
for the state. At this time the fol-
lawing witnesses were placed on
the stand to establish the identity
of Mr.. Sailers as one of the party
in the hold-up, Oscar Christopher
son. G.. Knudson, Simon Soline, and
Miss Hough, waitress in the Car
penter restaurant in Wondom.
There witnesses all seemed to
think that Sailers was one the men
and Miss Hough admitted that she
had seen the man in their restau-
rant that night and that she had
known him before. This evidence
seemed to be sufficient to satisfy
to the district court and it was SO
ordered. - s-..
The defendant through his at
torney then asked for bail, and the
matter of bail in case as serious
as this being beyond tn epurisdic-
tion of justice court, the hearing
for bail was held before Judge An
mes as court commissioner. who
upon being presented with the pro-
per application forms placed the
amount of bail at $4,000 which was
furnished by the signature Of two
responsible parties from Blue Earth
and Mr.. Sailers was set at liberty.
