Confession Proves
To Be False Clue in
Big Boston HoIdup
BY the Assecioted Press

BOSTON, Jan. 1e.-Another
clue in Tuesdays $780, 900 ex-
press company robbery evaporated
today.
New Jersey police discounted
the story of Thomas j. Hanni-
fan, %. The man, who originally
gave his name as Jackie Horrigan,
said he drove the holdup car and
asked for arrest by the Boston
police. He was revealed by
Newark questioners to a former
State hospital patient and mental
hospital orderly.
Hannifan had been drinking
and apparently hadn't been in
Boston in months, a Newark police
spokesman said. He had been
questioned on his statement that
funds seized in the robbery had
been cached near the holdup
scene.
From the outset, Boston Police
Capt. John D. Ahearn had &C
cepted the story with skepticism.
Ammunition Discovered.
Nevertheless, overlooking no
possibilities, he directed a raid
on an empty house in the North
End area near the scene of the
crime and seized 1000 rounds of
ammunition and a pistol.
The weapon might have been
of the type used by the robbers,
police said.
But the seven men scopped
overnight in the police dragnet-
including three ex-convicts, were
questioned without result and
police forecast their early release.
Capt. Ahearn received his "in-
formation" from Hannifan by
telephone from Newark. While
the Newark police took the man
into custody, Capt. Ahearn went
into action here.
Some Angles Check.
He said some of the informa-
tion given by the tipster checked
with certain angles of the robbery
and some didn't" He could have
got a lot of it from the news
papers, the police captain said.
Capt. Ahearn quoted the tipster
as saying in the collect call from
Newark that eight men partici-
pated in the robbery. Two were
with him in Newark, he said, and
the other five were in Boston.
The police captain said the
man named all those he claimed
took part in the holdup of the
vault of Drinks, Inc, an armed
car company.
Earlier, Police Supt. Edward w.
Fallon frankly admitted top
notch investigators directing the
multi-pronged probe lacked a
single definite lead after running
down scores of phony tips.
He clung to hope, however, that
science may spring a trap on the
seven commando like raiders who
seized million and a half dollars
a million in cash-at the
vaulted garage of the armored
transportation company Tuesday
night. The robbery was the
largest cash haul in American
history.
A visored chauffeur type cap
possibly dropped by one of the
gunmen-is being examined by
FBI chemists for particles of hair
that might produce a lead.
Highly skilled FBI agents, State
and private detectives busted
every inch Of the Brink Office yes
terday in search of particles of
evidence that might supply a clue
under chemical ANALYSIS.

Born at Alki Point, 1905, Hag-

Sweden, who arrived at Port
Townsend in the 1905. He was
married to a woman of Norwegian

it will take another two years

question of manager for Sons

12-14 years and as far as I
