 All four prisoners were being held incomunicado today. while po- lice and county authorities declined to discuss the developments in the case.

 So stealthy was the roundup con- ducted that word of arrests made on Thanksgiving Day morning did not trickle out until Friday after noon, and even then, officials stup- bornly refused to confirm the report of the four arrests. From other sources, however, the fact Of the captures was definitely csta ablished.
