Harvard Youth
Carries Bed to
Jail With Him
BIZ the Associated Press.


CAMBRIDGE, Mass. June g.
Otto c. Yens, Harvard student,
entered the Harvard square police
station early today dragging the
footboard of an iron bed. His
arms had been thrust through
openings in the metal stocks and
he had then been handcuffed. He
said three students had trussed
him up in a room in Randolph
Hall, gold coast" dormitory
where wealthy students live, and
he had freed himself by wrenching
the footboard from it's moorings.
All the handcuff keys in the sta
ton were tried out and failed.
Finally Yens was relieved of part
of his burden through the use of
a hacksaW. 1t was nearly five
hours later that a key to fit the
handouts was found in the room
of one of the students named by
Yens.
The police later learned the rest
of the story. Yens. they were
told. had suffered punishment for
'double-crossing" his three college
mates. He had heard them make
arrangements to go to the South
Station in Boston to say goodbye
to two Smith College girls who
were leaving for Northampton.
Yens, the police were told, ar
ranged to take the girls back to
their college in his automobile.
His three college mates waited
several hours at the station, then
learned OF Yens' ruse, and tied
him up.
Yens' home is in Cambridge.
