POLIGE CLOSING IN ON FOURTH BANDIT Fugitive From Southington Se¢n With Roll of Money (Speclal to the Herald) Southington, June 2 —The dis- with the initials T. D. M. on the neck band and a necktie by Ralph Thompson, son of Constable G, R. Thompson, in the woods at Grannis' LaKe yes- forms another link, the say, in the chain of evidence surrounding Thomas DeMarco, one of the alleged bandits caught follow- ing the holdup of the Plantsville Vational bank here last Wednesday ternoon. The initials, it is thought, are those of the captured man who is being held for a part in the robbery which netted the ban- dits more than $4,000. A minute search of the woods has heen carricd on by a corps of citi- nce the capture of the men for a part of the loot which it is believed has been bured there. The heavy rain of the past few days has made the work difficult because traces of diggings are washed away. Becanse of the admission made by Albert Meyer, another of the men who is being held as one of the ban- dit gang, that he had buried his share in the woods, the police and citizens will keep up the search until every inch of the ground has been gone over. When arrested, De Marco was carrying a black traveling bag in which there were some clothes and $1,516.75. He wore no tie and the one which was picked up in the woods yesterday, a blue and white striped affair, is thought to be his. The police say that the shirt which De Marco was wearing and others in the bag, bore the same initials as the one found in the that he changed his clothes in a hurry, and loft the shirt and the tie there. The fourth man who is being sought as a member of the gang, was reported to have been seen Sat- urday in the northern part of the state. He is saild to have stopped at a restaurant and ordered some-, thing to eat. He flashed a large roll of bills when paying for his dinner. His description fits the suspect exactly and the state police are searching for him. It is thought that . more days because all the police de- partments in this and adjoining states are on the lookout for him and the net has been spread so that it is doubtful it he will be able to escape. Constable Thomas Murphy, une able to carry out the search of the woods last Saturday, planned to en- list the aid of 'a number of men in the search for the hidden treasure today. He is positive that a share of the loot is buried in the woods and he thinks that the money com- ing to Stewart Florian, also impli- cated In the job, is there. Because of the deep woods about Grannis’ lake, it will probably be days before any success will be met by the searchers. The bandits could have buried the money in any of thousands of places and until one of these is unearthed, the searchers are faced with a difficult task. The three men now under arrest will be given a hearing in the South- ington police court next Thursday. ey are being held under bonds of $50,000. 'THREE PLANES IN RACE T0 BE FIRST (Continued from First Page) consume about 30 gallons of gaso- ine an hour. The smaller compet- ng monoplane is expected to use gallons an hour. h plane probably will have to attain a ground'speed of between 90 and 100 miles an hour before they can take off, the fliers said. Cross Winds Bother Lieutenant Maitland, accompanied by Lieutenant Hegenberger, who will be the navigator, flew to Oakland airport yesterday in an army service plane from Crissy fleld. They tried the long runway twice and an- nounced they encountered cross winds that probably would present a | serious problem. With these winds, |it was explained, the Fokker would | probably not be able to take off with its weight of 13,500 pounds. This announcement was followed by another that if similar winds prevailed consistently the army men might go to Mather fleld, Sacra- mento for the hopoff. 2,400-Mile Trip Smith's plane has a gasoline ca- pacity of 450 gallons. Each expects to be able to travel 3,000 miles. The distance to Honolulu is 2,400 miles. ‘Walter . Parkin, inspector for the aeronautical branch of the United States department of com- ONHAWAII FLIGHT| an arrest will be made before many|merce, appeared at the 8mith camp to inspect the civilian monoplane. He sald he was particularly inter- gasoline tanks as these constituted the principal weight and would have to be s0 placed as to permit a perfect balance. Parkin declared prior to his ap- pearance at the camp that if Smith made the flight before the depart- ment of commerce had approved the plane, he and his backers would be subjected to a $500 fine and Smith ‘would forfeit his pilot’s license. Gets Special License After a talk with Smith’s back- ers, Parkin said they could apply to the commerce department for an ex- perimental license and proceed with the flight immediately if the depart- ment approved. This was understood to have been done. Smith’s supporters declared that even if the army plane beat him to the hopoff Smith and his Los Angeles navigator, Charles H. Carter, could give them a six-hour start and beat them to Hawail. They announced, however, that if Grace started from Honolulu before Smith was able to take off, the flight from Oakland would be delayed pending the result of the eastward flight. Byrd’s Outlook New York, June 27 (A—Very lit- | tle prospect of a takeoff tonight by the monoplane “America” was seen this morning by the weather bu- reau. “There s a low pressure trough extending from Newfoundland south to the steamer lanes,” Meteorologist | James H. Imball reported. “It isn't vet conclusive that this disturbance will bar a takeoff for Europe, but the outlook is not bright. “This is the same storm that passed over Roosevelt fleld and caused a postponement of the flight Sunday morning. The low pressure oft Newfoundland is of considerable | depth and though we can't say for certain until we have heard from some ships at sea, there is very lit- tle prospect of a flight tonight.! Bertaud’s Plans While they wait, another Fokker plane, tri-motored like'the America, being conditioned in a Hasbruck Heights, N. J. hangar for an air trip to Rome and back under guid- ance of Lloyd W. Bertaud, air mail | pilot, the New York Herald-Tribune | says today. Bertaud, who was scheduled to ac- company Clarence D. Chamberlin on the trans-Atlantic flight of the Bel- lanca monoplane Columbia until a | tiff with Charles A. Levine, backer of the project, interfered, is report- ed as likely to receive at least $100,. 000 under a contract signed last Thursday with Bradford Merrill, acting agent for Willlam Randolph Hearst.

THE 'GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC TEA €o. ‘The sky horse of the Byrd expedi- tion is resting on its starting mound at Roosevelt fleld, Long Island, its line for the long hope to Paris. Early yesterday Bert Acosta, the pilot; Lt. George O. Noville, the flight en- gineer and Bernt Balchen, relfef man, examined the field after a drenching downpour. They wanted to take off despite the soaked run- {way, but Byrd would not permit it. ,Storms off Newfoundland and head winds between Long Island and the point where the plane will head out across the ocean make indefinite the hour for a take off. The proposed flight by Bertaud is scheduled to start between July 15 and 25. The plane will be taken to Roosevelt fleld next week, accord- ing to plans.
