POLICE THEORIzE
AS BANDIT TROY
/ EASES UP IN REIGN

Worcester. Mass. Aug. 24.-(AP)-
John Troy. leader of the bandit gang
that has given Worcester county the
worst scare in its history. is done"
John Troy. bandit leader, has sus-
pended the operations of his gang I'M
til after the funeral of his pal, Walter
Derosier, who was shot to death by a
Worcester policeman.
These are the two latest theories to
which the authorities are giving con-
sideration and which are being talked
by men who were friends and asso-
ciates of the two desperadoes before
they began their desperate career of
banditry.
Supporting the first theory is a
contention that Derosier. rather than
Troy, was the real leader in boldness
and in the actual execution of the
gangs depredations.
The second theory has followed the
developments surrounding the burial
of iDerosier. There have been reports
of threats against the parish priest
who refused TO have funeral services
for the dead bandit from the church;
reports that Troy had visited the De-
roster home to see the body of his
former pal, and reports that floral
tributes from Troy were on the cas-
ket.
Derosier was buried this forenoon
in unconsecrated ground in Notre
Dame cemetery. There was no priest
at the home or at the grave.
