Chained Track

CINCINNATI, fAP) = Federal
Bureau of Investigation agents
said two teen-aged boys admitted
wrapping 15-foot length of log
chain around a track on a Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad trestle
here Saturday.
A motorist noticed the chain
and railroad officials removed it
only a few minutes before a
freight train was due to cross the
trestle.
A. E. Ostholthoff. agent in
charge of the FBI, said ther e
would be no federal prosecution
of the boys-on ID years of age
and the other Is.
City Police Capt. George Ertel
said, however, the boys would be
cited in Juvenile court.
Officers quoted the boys as
saying they put the chain on the
track so it would strike vehicles
passing under the trestle.
Police at first thought it was
a case of sabotage but they turn
ed their attention to the boys
after being told the two lads had
been seen playing near the tres
tie.
