- NANE FOURTH MAN - IN BANK HOLDUP Plantsville Bandits Disclose In- Tormation Under Polic Grilling (Spacial to the RHerald) Southington, June 25—A fourth nan s bdeing sought by state and other Ypolice departments for com- plicity in the holdup of the Plants- ville Natlonal bank' Wednesday afternoon. As a result of the con- stant grilling of the prisoners by the state police, the alleged bandits have begun to talk. Playing one aguinst the other, the story has started to come out and in partial confessions-made by tha three, an- other who, they say, resides in Chi- cago, Ill, has been implicated. This information was made posi- tive because of other frformation furnished the-state polica on the day of the robbery. For several days, thres suspicious characters who were stopping at the Hotel Matis in Meriden had beey under police suryeillance. On the arrest of Thomas DeMarco and Albert Meyer, who claim Cicero, 111, as their home, the Meriden poltce’ identified the two 48 members of the trio staying at the Meriden hatel. Stewart Florian, the Southington man who is being held as the prime mover in the crime, broke down yesterday and began to tell all about the affair. Although his story was disjointed in spots, the, police ex- pect that before much has elapsed, they will have the en- tire history of the affair. The police were also successtul in making Mey- er talk, Meyer remained at the wheel of the automobile while DeMarco and the fourth mean entered the bank. Ilorian remained in a car near the railroad station which i3 close by the bank. When the two in the bank com- pleted their work and secured more than $4,000, they dashed to the car which was parked with en- gine running a short way up the gtrect and started the mad race which wa# to end in the capture of two of them. Florian followed right after them and turned to the left while tha other three turned to the | right. Florian's plan wgs to draw the pursuers after him while his wecomplices were making their get away. This ruse failed due to the sagacity of Constables Thomas Jur- ply and Graham Thompson of the Southington force. Upon reaching the woods which surrounded Grannis’' lake the trio divided the cash. DeMarco was caught with $1,516.75 on his person but, except for $75 taken on Meyer, this is all of the entire amount of over $4,000 so far secured. The police have discovered that the markers on the car used in the robbery belonged to John T. M Glew of 179 Colony street, Meride These were taken from an old car which stood. behind the Meriden lotel and transferred to the tour- ing car used by the men. Efforts are being made by the police to find out if the car used by the men was stolen. N The police will photograph the car today and through tlie engine and factory numbers, they will at- iy, tempt to trace it. Because Meyer, who was in =a highly nervous state when arrested carly Thursday morning in IFores ville, stated that he had buried his share of the loot, the helief is held that & share of the money is hidden in Grannis’ woods. Meyer was taken to the woods before being arraigned here Thursday afternoon, but he re- fused to divulge the hiding place. Pollce belleve that because the chase became so warm, actually did bury his share of thc money but that he failed to fuke more time | Meyer | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1927.

Japanese delegates and Hugh 8. Gibson, head of the American dele- | gation, that any such suggestion has been made, conpetent observers persisted in the belief today that when he had assurance that'the overture would have a chance of being favorably considered, Admiral | Viscount Saito, the Japanese spokes- | man, possibly would propose & | treaty outlawing war betweep his country and the United States. As the conference neared the | close of its first week’s delibera- | tions to harmonize the view of the | three participating nations—Great Britain, Japan and the United States —on the best way to bring about & reduction in naval armaments, it appeared that the British were with drawing somewhat from their desire to reopen questions settled at the Washington conference in 1922, | chiefly the matter of further reduc- | ing the size of capital ships. | Has No Authority. This apparent change came after the American and Japanese delega- | tions notificd the British officially that the present conference had no | authority to discuss decisions which | wers part of the Washington pact. | Although the two delegations, at the | request of the British, decided to | ask Washington and Tokyo whether | the conference might re-examine the | question of the size of bnttleshlpe.‘: cruicers and aircraft carriers, it is not expected the governments will deviate from their original pro- grams. - Japan's desire to be allowed to construct as many light craft, in- cluding submarines, all below 700 tons,sas she deems necessary Te- | mains unchanged, despite persistent | rumors that her delegation was re- considering at least the submarin: feature of the project. Quotes American Hero. A Japanese spokesman, turning Admiral Jones' quotation of John Paul Jones to his own purpose, re- marked: ‘We have not yet begun to fight.” He added that there was | no use talking about ships under | 700 tons now when the immediate problem before the confernce was to curtail larger auxiliary units. | Regulation of status of the mari- | could well wait for solution by the | league of nations’ general dlsarma- | ment conference at which France, Italy and other continental powers requiring such craft for coastal de- fense could give measured opinion. The Japanese resolutely decline to be drawn into the light cruiser ver- | sus armad merchantmen controver- | sy, which has been rebated for most | of the week by the American nndl British delegations. Their attention is concentrated upon obtaining a| better ratio for Japan than the present three to five each for Great ! Britain and the United States. They calculate that in the cruiser, de- stroyer and submarine categories combined, {including existing ships nd those under construction or | contracted for. Great Britain's ton- | nage now is 568,272: that of the United States, 492,148 and Japan's 343,972. Taking the American fig- ures as 100 per cent, they contend that Great Britain thus now has 115.5 and Japan 69.8. “But,” the spokesman declared, e want to avoid talking ratio as much as possible now. It will be es- tablished after a full discussion.” TOYPN IS 200 YEARS OLD Newmarket, N. H., Today Holding Exercises in Commemoration of Town’s Founding. E Newmarket, N.
