Joe Jones, a negro street sweeper, was allowed to view Hearst yesterday and picked him out of a bunch of zeveral white men at the police station. G. W. Roth, an employe of the city in 'the sanitary department, ulso saw the escape of one of the men from the bank. He picked Hearst out as one of the men.
