NEW YORK, Aug. IA (AP).-
Ground was broken yesterday
for the worlds longest suspen-
sion bridge, a 7,200-foot span
over the narrows between
Brooklyn and Staten Island. It
will be completed in 1865.
The new structure will end
the semi-isolation which has
given Staten Island a somewhat
rural aura despite its status as
one OF New York City's five
boroughs.
Including approaches, the
bridge will be nearly 3 miles
long, with a suspended center
span of 1890 feet. San Fran
ciSco's Golden Gate Bridge now
has the longest suspended CEN
ter span of 1900 feet.
More than Is million cars
and trucks are expected to use

during its first full year of OPP

against him.
Authorities said he finally
broke down and acknowledged
them after two hours of plead
ing from his wife Jane.
II felt all along that he had
done It," she told reporters.
Despite her pleas, authori-
ties said, Bloeth still baked at
talking until police told him his
wife would have to take q lie

Afterward Mrs. Bloeth was
asked If she would stand by her
husband.
YES" she said. IT married
him for better or worse"
1t was another former con-
vict and a pal Of Bloeth who
put the finger on him.
Robert Walsh, 81, said he
sold Bloeth the two guns used
in the killings. The first two
Sayings were with a revolver
which Walsh said he sold
Bloeth six months ago.
The third Staying. that Of
Mrs. Irene Currier. 50-year-old
diner operator at Westhampton,
was done with an automatic.
Walsh said he sold Bloeth this
weapon only four hours before
Mrs. Currier was killed August 8.
The first Staying was that of
Hans Hickman, 54-year-old
delicatesSen operator at Islip,
on July 81. Lawrence Kircher,
SO, counterman in an all-night
diner at nearby Smithtown, was
slain on August 5.
Each Of the robbery Sayings
Melted between 500 and $50

Asked what Bloeth said he
did with the proceeds of the
robberies, the district attorney
said:
HE spent one-third on
women, one-third on liquor and
one-third on foolish things"

He loved to strange cats
even as a child, 1t was said, and
lying was second nature to him.
The director of a correc-
