 They reported that assorted gems discovered by federal agents yes terday in the Warwick, R. l., "crime mansion" fitted the descrip- tion of precious stones taken from Arthur Bower, New York jewelry salesman, in a holdup at Worcester Union Station.
 Police added that Andino (Andy) Merola, slain Providence gangster. answered the description of the lone bandit who robbed Bower.
 Merola's "spot murder" in Wrentham last week was one of the major factors leading to the roundup of the Rettich gang and tt the expose of it's millions dollar "crime syndicate.
 Cornered in Station
 At the time of the holdup, Bower was walking through cor ridor at the railroad station, pre- paratory to entraining for New York. The bandit cornered him, struck him on the wrist with gun butt, and snatched the satchel which the salesman had been carrying.
 When Bower pursued, the bandit turned and fired two ineffective shots.
 Detective Superintendent William P. Finneran announced today's de- velopments after comparing de- scriptions of the gems found in Rhode Island with those of the jewels stolen from Bower.
 He said Bower would be con tacted in New York and asked to come here to view photographs of Merola and determine whether the Rhode Island gems were his.
