QUARTET PLEAD GUILTY TO LINN GROVE ROBBERY ICOXTINI’UO FROM PAGE OJSK> four men, with eyes fixed directly on the Cpurt said, "Guilty, sir.” Counsel Makes Plea The Court ordered the lueu to Le Heated. Attorney Roller made a plea for the four men, slutiug, in substance, that the four men had admitted their guilt, but that they were driven to a career of crime because of fiuauoial troubles. He told of Wood's domestic troubles, of liow his wife had lost her mind and how Wood hud spent a small fortune lu an effort to restore his wife’s health. He told of Siniff’s world war record ami of how he became heavily involved financially when he leased a Fort Wayne hotel. He told of Gaither’s heavy financial responsibility utul of Chamberlin’s high standing in his home community. He admitted that the men should be punished, but asked for consideration of the fact that all four had never appeared in any criminal court liefore. Confessions Submitted Following Rollei'a plea. Attorney DeVoss presented to tile judge, two papers, which lie stated were signed confessions from the men telling of the criminal record. The Court studied them lor more than five minutes. Silence came over the hundred of spectators. The Court then sentenced each of the four men to 20 years in the Indiana state prison at/ Michigan City. For the next few minutes, the court room of the Adams circuit court was a scene of confusion. Gaither's sweetheart walked over to him and the two cried bitterly. Chamberlin’s wife and several Whitley county friends gathered around him and he broke under the strain and bowed Ids tieaii. Friends Say Good-Bye A score of railroad friends of Sinj£f and Wood crowded around them and hundreds of local people watched in silence as there were many “goodbyes’’ and “good lucks.” After a few minutes, the court room was ordered cleared, and the prisoner.' were returned to I lie Adams county jail where Uiey will be held until the first of next week, at which time they wdl he taken to Michigan City, to start their sentences.

Elmer Wood, 40, of Peunville, oldest of the four men. has been a railroader for more Gian 20 years. He is married and lias one soli. One of his good 'railroad friends walked up lo him after sentence was pronoun'’ ed and cried bitterly, saying that he "just couldn't believe it.” Siniff Is War Vsteran Raleigh (Bob) W. Siniff, of Fort Wayne, is 3G years of age. He is a World war veteran and a former railroad employe. Later, he became man ager of the Hayes Hotel in Fort Wayne and from that position he started his life of crime which ended in his prison sentence. Everett D. (Jack) Gaither is from Fort Wayne. He is 33 years of age and formerly lived in soutneni lndi ana, near Louisville, Ky. Gaither has been in the employ of the Pennsylvania railroad for several years, bellowing the Peunville bank robbery, til July, 192 H. Gaither, according to confession of all four men. left the gang and since that, time lie has had nothing to do with the other three men. J. Phil Chamberlin is from Columbia City. He is 30 years of age. Chamberlin is married and is from one of the substantial Whitley county families. Smiles Leave Their Faces As the lour men left the court room, the smiles had left, their faces. Siniff. who had faced the enemy m the World war for a year and a half, faced his 20 years confinement in the best way. He tried to smile, but at times the thought of 20 years m (prison faded hjis broad smile into almost a sneer. Wood was more serious as he ten Hu- court room- His thoughts apparently were with his wife and son m Peunville. Chamberlin and Gaither, Still witli wet eyes, left the room witli bowed beads. Siniff was arrested in Fort Wayne, March 16, two days after the Bans „t Linn Grove had been robbed of *2 mo. The following Monday, Guith'r and Chamberlin were arrest ed and late that night Wood was arrested at Richmond. All four men *. erc brought, to the Adams county jail and. on March 24. Sheriff Hollingsworfli secured signed confessions from all four. The men then indicated that they wished to plead guilty ind lodav finis was written upon then case as far as the Adams county court is concerned. Sheriff Hollingsworth stated this morning that friends of the men 8« others interested in the case would be permit.’ed to visit the local jail Sunday afternoon. In all probability the men will he taken away the lust of next week. Gerald Somers will return to the University of Chicago where he is enrolled as a student, tomorrow evening.
