, Police here, armed with machine
and shotguns, seek a man who Il
said to have been in on bombing'
that took five lives here in siz
months and attempted to arrange
for a Newport (Ky) gang to come
here for a planned job.
1t was on this job that police ar
rested those now held.
According to information, the
hunted man wrote letters to bomb
racketeers in Newport and asked
them to come here. They are saic
to have replied they had enough
of this hot spot and wouldn't take
the job for less than $1,000"
To Be Questioned
An1eS and Williams will be ques-
toned about Proda in an effort to
get them to say whether or not he
is the man referred to by them as
the one who double-crossed them.
Theft of about 100000 worth OF
radios from the United States Radio
and TeleviSion Company here last
fall became linked with the bomb
ing case today when it was learned
that MaZurka may be wanted here
on the radio thefts.
At the same time Carl Becker,
former traffic manager of the radio
company was attempting to obtain
bond for his release from the Grant
county jail where Becker is held
awaiting trial on grand larceny
charges next month.
Three new grand larceny af1davits
were to be filed this afternoon
against Becker. Total bond for his
release was expected to be in
creased to $17,500.
Two hammond men who are said
to have worked with Danford dur
ing his alleged connections with the
theater bombing are on their way
here to identify Ranford further
They are guarded heavily.
The story told by the Hammond
residents clinches the one told po-
lice and detectives, seeking solution
of the murders here, by an under
cover man, who handled the arrest
plant on the five men held here
The informant said he and Dan
ford recently drove past the wrecked
State theater and Danford pointed
it out as one of ''his jobs"
Five Others Are Held
Here with Danford are Joseph
Beckett and Peter Kmieciak of Chi
cago, and Vernon and Duke Hum
phrey of Elwood and Mrs. Erma
Legos, widow of Andrew Legos
union leader, who was blown
to bits IN a bomb exploded when
he ste on the starter of his car
Pri % that, three men were
killed when the labor temple here
was blasted by bomb. Later John
Ashcraft was killed in the same
manner that Legos met his DEATH.
The situation now is without the
shadow that it carried a few days
ago when persons were inclined tc
doubt the story told by the in
formant. The undercover man made
the arrangements with the boom
ers" to meet them here and pay
them $3.50 to put bomb in ar
auto, planted by police.
Before leaving, Mayor Edwards
granted writ for a change of judge
to hear preliminary examination OF
Mrs. Erma LegoS, charged with
