BIG NOISE - The terrific crash
around 4 a. m, last Thursday
which aroused residents of North
West Front and North Walnut
streets, Milford, from their slum-
bers stirred fears that ranged
from earthquake to safe cracking
in the First National Bank and
Trust Company and caused num-
erous calls to the city police head
quarters.
The fact that there was little
breeze stirring that hot night
brought residents to their windows,
some in scant attire, and to their
doors, but those with a view of the
yard of the Masonic Temple saw
what had happened.
The huge and ailing maple tree
two feet in diameter at it's badly
rotted base had given up its ghost
and there it lay ready for the wood
choppers.
Branches Of the big tree had
struck the porch Of Mrs. Sarah G
Stanton but had caused little dam
age. A nearby fence was about
the only casualty" but it had
created uneasy moments for q
while.

Sergeant Admits Guilt,
Brother-in-Luw Also
Held in $4S, 900 Burglary

Federal agents moved swiftly to-
day for the prosecution of an
Army sergeant and his brother
|in-law on grand larceny charges
in $4,000 burglary at Fort Bel
voir, Va. five weeks ago.
Under arrest in the case that
had baffled FBI agents and the
Arny's Criminal Intelligence Di-
vision were Sergt. Richard Charles
Klow, 33. and Billy Gene Mobley
20, q gasoline station attendant,
whose families share a house In
the 100 block of Baggett place,
Alexandria.
The FBI said Sergt. Klow con-
Ifessed his part in the crime late
yesterday, only a short time after
la 16-year-old youth discovered
most of the Belvoir loot in a suit
case hidden beneath junk in a
gravel pit near Alexandria.

The discovery by Ashley Corn
we'll of route /, Alexandria, pro-
vided a dramatic climax to the
long investigation and came with
in a few minutes of the exact
time Sergt. Klow and Mobley were
placed under arrest.
The youth found the brand-new
suitcase buried beneath tWigs and
parts of an old stove. Apparently
lit had been hidden there only a
few days. It contained bills to-
taling $34,971. wrapped neatly,
and two automatic pistols. Most
of the money was in bills Of SIS.

A Fort Belvoir spokesman said
lSergt. Klow had been in custody
at the post since Sunday for ques-
tioning about the burglary of $48,-
901 from a post exchange safe on
February 3.
The sergeant. who had a
terminal record before entering the
Army, came under suspicion when
agents found a wirecutter in an
office in which Sergt. Klow worked.
The agents said the wirecutter was
used to snip the screen over a
window of the post exchange
building.
Auto Search Yields $1,500.
The FBI said agents then
searched Sergt. Klow's automobile
and found $500 in cash in the
upholstery.
| The spokesman said Sergt. Klow
and Mobley were observed to-
Igether on the post at 10:30 pm.
