TRUCKLOAD OF
GASOLINE TAKEN
BY HLGHWAYMEN

LOS ANGELES, June 13. U.P)-
Working in the same manner as
liquor "hi-jackers," thre men early
today kidnapped truck driver and
stole his truck and trailer con-
tanning 5000 gallons of gasoline,
according to police.
Earl Annler, 20, the driver, re-
ported several hours after the hold
up, police said, that he was stopped
at Main street and the Long Beach
Redondo road shortly after mid
night by three men in a small tour
ing car
After forcing Annler from the
drivers seat, one of the men took
Annler's hat, climbed into the
truck and drove away. The other
two then blindfolded Annler, drove
him about for several hours and
finally released him about eight
miles from where he had been kid
naped.
Police were working on the theory
that employees of an oil company
who had been making raids on
their employers stores committed
the holdup in order TO make good
their shortage.
AT the prevailing price of gaso-
line, the wholesale price of the
5000 gallons would be approximate
ly S40C, police said.

ASSERT CAPONE INDICTMENT
MEANS GANGLAND COLLAPSE

underworld leader need not post a
new bond on the liquor indictment.
Capone last week posted 1000
bail on charges of evading income
tax. Johnson held this was inSuffi-
cient to cover the new charge also.
The Capone gang already is ''prac-
tically insolvent," declared Johnson,
because of raids and high bonds,
and he believes one bond sufficient
ly protects the government.
An idea of the power which Ca
pone once held was given in the
indictment charging that his beer
industry earned upwards of S20,-
00000 annually for 10 years, dating
back to the time when Scarface Al
was a minor hoodlum' and took
orders from leaders whom he later
"muscled" out OF the way in his
spectacular and dizzy rise to fame
and power
The new charges specify 5000
separate offenses by the gang. The
indictment traces briefly, the rise
OF Capone from the days when pre-
vious rulers" sent him out on such
| ignoble errands as buying trucks
to the recent day when he sat in
his high-backed, bullet proof
throne" or lolled on his Florida
estate with evidence of his millions
about him

Woman Sentenced
By Federal Judge

SAN FRANCISCO, June 13. .(U.P)
"A l7-year-old mother was SEN
sentenced to five years in prison as
a post office robber in United
States court here today.
Weeping but defiant, she re-
fused to tell the name of her hus-
band.
Federal Judge A. F. st. Sure sem
fenced her under the name of
Myrtle Patsch. Similarly sentenced
were l9-year-old messenger boy,
Floyd E. Mohr, and a Frank No
bles, companions in the crime.
The three robbed a San Fran
cisco drug store on May II. The
store contained postal sub-station.
The total loot amounted to $3.50
in cash, $50 in stamps and some
narcotics.
Judge st. Sure, in passing SEN
tence, suggested that the girl and
Mohr be allowed to serve their
sentences in some reformatory. No
bles, with previous record of GRIM
inal conviction in Phoenix, must go
to the federal penitentiary.
Following the girls example in
refusing to divulge the identity of
her husband, Mobiles refused to re-
veal the identity of his wife. He
was married few months ago.
