MAIL ROBBERIES BELIEVED GLEARED Securities Company Officials Held as U. S. Seeks 26 Others. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, August 2.—Federal offi- clals said today that the round up of the twenty-six persons named witly John W. Worthington and Owen T. Evans in charges relating to mail robberies totaling nearly $6,000,000 was being pushed. They declined, however, to announce whether more arrests had been made. ‘Worthington, who has figured in several previous sensational cases, and Evans, a former bank examiner, were taken into custody at the Cen- tral Securities Company, of which they were president and vice presi- dent. The district attorney's office indicated that this concern was be- lieved to be the medium through which stocks and bonds taken in the big mail robberies of recent months, had been sold. List of Nine Cases. Federal officers gave out a list of nine of the principal mail robberies which, they asserted, were carried out by the band whose operations they are seeking to break, and also declared tha; the recent disappear- ance of $3,00,000 worth of Sinclair oil stock in New York might be con- nected with the organization. In several of the robberies listed, notably those at Council Bluffs, Towa, and Mount Vernon, 111, actual partici- pants in the crimes have been sent to prison. In others arrests have been ‘made. The present indictments were re- turned secretly and their existence did not become known until Worthington and Evans were arrested. The de- velopment resulted from four months of work by a number of men under di- rection of Patrick J. Roche, a special internal revenue intelligence agent. They checked every mail robbery and bank loss for the last five years. Cennecting Link Uncovered. It was indicated today that the con- necting link which put the investiga- tors on the trail of Worthington and |of Evans was the arrest of Charles W. French in October, 1919.
