BROOKS RI ANE
RECOVERED

MELBOURNE. Fla; 27.-The Ill
fated flivver plane in. which Harry
Brooks, CHIEF test pilot for the Ford
Company apparently lost his life in
attempting to fly from TitusviIle TO
Miami late Saturday was drifted to
the beach near here today.
The plane was found Sunday on
the beach about Is miles below here.
The body of Brooks was not found
in the plane, confirming stories of
eve witnesses that the pilot was
seen standing on the wing of the
ship, waiting for a chance to jump
before the craft hit the waves. Ford
Company officiels had said Brooks
was strapped to his seat. Accord
ing to first reports, the plane was
not badly damaged.
Brooks took off for Miami late
Saturday to complete his flight from
Detroit. He had been forced to
land at Titusville by leaking gas
line and also to repair his propeller.
1t was the second time Brooks had
attempted a nonstop flight from
Detroit to Miami, the first having
ended when he was forced to land
in North Carolina.
Divers were at work all day

All of the loot was IN currency,
packed in two sealed mail pouches
More than half of the stolen
money is believed to have been
recovered. The latest cache was
discovered early today in police
raid on a flat several blocks from
the scene of the holdup. Eighteen
Thousand dollars we're recovered
there and three women, found in
the place, were arrested.
% Arrested
This brings the total arrests in
connection with the robbery to
twenty men and eight women. Two
of the men and one of the women
have made complete confessions, ac-
cording to Deputy Police Commits
sloner William F.. O'Connor.
A man. widely known as an at
torney and politician, was said to, be
implicated in the confessions. He
not only knew of the robbery plans,
according to the statements. but
participated in distributing the loot.
Another man. prominent in local.
politics. is said TO he involved in
the case. He is being sought by,
police and Government agents.
Leaders Confess
The two men who have made
complete confessions, according OF
Deputy O'Connor, are Charles
Cleaver and William Donovan.
O'Connor regards them as the
brains" and ring leaders of the
gang of seven men who actually
staged the daring hold.up.
The money was being shipped
from Chicago banks to banks at
Harvey, a southwestern suburb, for
the purpose of meeting weekend in.
dustrial payrolls. 1t was in two con-
signments, $4,000 in one pouch and
$4,000 in another.
One of the seven bandits was a
passenger on the train. He asked to
be let off at Evergreen Park, small
isolated station where certain trains
stop only to let off passengers. AS
soon as the train came to a halt, six
men, heavily armed and masked,
swung aboard in typical Jesse James
fashion.
Car Is Blasted
Shots were fired to intimidate the
crew and passengers, who were
herded into rear coach. A dyna-
mite bomb blew away the nlail-car
door. After bags of currency had
been seized and thrown into large
automobile. the bandits piled into the
car and sped away. The entire job
took less than six minutes.
