YOUTH ARREST
in new ORLEANS
AS ROSE BANDIT
Capital Police Seek His
Return Here

Washington's notorious Rose
Bandit" who had vowed he would
never be captured alive, was be-
lieved under arrest in New Orleans
today.
While squads of heavily armed
detectives vainly searched woods
near Brookmont, Nd, for the
youth who always dropped a
flower at the feet of his victims,
word came from New Orleans po-
lice that they were holding a
youth who gave the name of the
Rose Bandit" t"-Richard Bennett
Heck, 18.
ASSAULTED POLICEMAN
Heck was arrested, New Orleans
police wired, after he assaulted a
policeman there.
Inspector B. w. Thompson, chief
of detectives, telegraphed New Or
leans police that he was forward
ing a warrant charging Heck with
houSebreaking and asking that the
youth be surrendered to District
authorities.
Heck is believed to have fled to
New Orleans after 16-year-old
Jacqueline jerks, of the 5100 block
of Sherrier Pl. N. W., left him in
Atlantic City Monday.
l
SPURNED GIRLS PLEAS
The Rose Bandit" persuaded the
girl to flee from her home with
him soon after he started his spec
tacular burglaries. Miss jerks told
police she pleaded with Heck to
surrender after she learned he was
sought by police, but he refused.
After the name of the young
bandit was made public, residents
of nearby Maryland recalled he
had been seen frequently in the
vicinity of Brookmont and Glen
Echo. A tipster reported the
youth was hiding in an isolated
shack along the old C. & o. canal
waiting to shoot it out with police.
WOODS SEARCHED
Aided by Maryland police a
squad of District de tive S
searched the woods in the vicinity
of Brookmont this morning with
out success.
Heck, police said, is a former in
mate of the National Training
School for Boys and of Lorton Re
formatory. He is wanted here in
connection with nine robberies
committed in the last month.
