extradition papers could be asked
Of Governor jackson.
The robbery indictment was re-
turned and McGlenn was to leave
late Friday for st. Louis with the
papers.
Player is held under $4,000 bond
on charge of carrying concealed
weapons "a 800 silver plated Smith
81 Wesson reyolver), and local Of
ficials feared powerful interests
would leave no legal stone unturned
to get him out Of custody in the
Missouri city. They expect Play
eer to resist extradition.
With arrest of Player, local de-
tectives renewed interest in check
ing the movements of Arthur j.
Hartman of st. Louis, picked up last
week by officers here investigating
the Traugott clothing store explo-
sion.
They did not coma Hartman
with the blast, but they have been
looking up his st. Louis connections.
st. Louis sent a long record they
have against Hartman. He is held
on $4,000 vagrancy bond.
The Broadmoor holdup took place
during the annual speedway dinner
dance at the club, northwest of the
city, the night of May 80.
While $50 guests were dancing,
the bandits, variously described as
six or eight, in two or three large
automobiles, drove up to the club.
leaped out and covered all entrances
with military precision, putting un-
der surveillance several guests who
we're leaving, the club management
and persons standing about the en-
trance and office.
Loot Estimated at 100000
Then, with machine-like pre-
cision, the bandits lined up the
guests and took their jewelry and
money, dumping it into sacks. Some
of the victims were addressed by
their names by one of the bandits.
The loot was estimated at first at
100000. An accurate check never
wa sobtained, due to reticence OF a.
number of victims, but it is be-
lieved to have been much lower.
Many victims have been paid by In
surance companies.
The bandits gathered their scat
tered forces and left as quietly and
as rapidly as they appeared. Police
have had their suspicious about
identity of some members of the
gang but the ST. Louis arrest is the
first definite clew.

DACK of the mist which

sightless there is in the words of
Socrates more determination than
in "all the world of those who
can see."
And that's why they prepared
today to tell brown-haired Hazel
Johnson that she, a blind girl,
triply handicapped by inability to
talk or hear, has woven a wool
hand purse which easily captured
first honors at the State fair.
1t was less than a month ago
that Hazel took up weaving. She,
of course, could not read the
printed patterns, but that caused
little worry. She Immediately set
to work and made her own pat
tern in the Braille system, which
is read with her fingers.
There was a few minor tasks
and then Hazel began work on
the purse. 1t took her less than
two weeks of one hour a day work
to complete the job. Few of those

lished to their satisfaction that
Ben Boratti, arrested with
Player, was what he claimed
to be, a deputy sheriff from
Texas on his way to South
Bend, Ind, to spend a vacation
with his mother.

of a seventh man, declaring he was
a silent partner, a prominent St.
Louis business man. and I'm not
going to tell who he is"
Interested in Gamblers

group of gamblers, because there
were either six or eight bandits in

"Well, I'll tell you, chief, out Of

what kind of an enterprise was
that?" the detective asked.

"the master mind" of an underworld
gang which st. Louis police have
been after. Player denied this.
